Just come right out and be honest about it. If you keep just putting him off and don't come right out and say it, he will just keep on asking you. Which just keeps you in the same position. It's better to be upfront and get it over with. That way there's no false hope for the other person. Tell him that you think he's nice or that you just want to be friends.

Tell them. "I've realized that we aren't a good match" is hard to argue with and doesn't make it sound like it's because there's something wrong with them.
After only a few dates it's not like someone deserves more detailed information. If they push you I would say something like "I am not sure I can answer that and I know I don't want to try." Bottom line is that it's entirely your perogative to say you don't want to see someone and you don't owe someone you hardly know anything more than telling them that politely.
I mean, if you do know exactly why it wouldn't work and they really push you or wont give up you can tell them -- but it might not go down so well. On the other hand, some people need that and it might get them off your case. Wouldn't recommend it as the first approach though.
Also the whole "can we be friends" thing. Even if you really would like that, suggest a break of at least a few weeks.

Just say the magic 2-letter, one-syllabled word, No :)
You put that person down gently, don't be harsh or unnecessarily mean (unless push comes to a shove, in the literal sense). But theres a lack of information in your question.. why don't you wanna go out with this person? Whatever the reason is, the most flexible way out of a date with someone is to say, No I'm just not ready for a relationship right now and I'm currently taking a break from dating. If he asks why, you just sheepishly tell him, Oh its kinda personal, please don't go there.
There could be a million and one reason why you're 'not ready' to go out dating.. and one of them can actually be because you simply don't want to lol. Let him go figure it out himself, you're entitled to do these things... you're your own woman :)

tell them you're sorry but you think you should begin to see other people. Let them know the real reason why you want to stop seeing them...hopefully in a nice, tactful manner. That or stop returning their calls.

Say no in the kindest possible way. Surely you can decide who you want to go out with and who not.

You ask out someone else and tell him there's another person. No, really, just say thanks but you'd rather see other people. That's all there is to it. You owe no further explanation.

I get really stinky, put on ugly, poor fitting clothes, don't brush my teeth for awhile, eat garlic, leave my fly open, etc etc. If they still want to date me, I'd probably keep em.

Tell him you got your test results back from the doctor...and you're positive.
I bet you'll never hear from him again...and you won't even have to tell him what you're positive for!
Good Luck!

Just be honest. Tell them you just don't think that it is going to work out.
