He's my friend's friend so I don't want to be rude to him either.

Tell him you dont want a relationship at this time. And also that you appreciate his friendship but that is all you want. Make sure he knows your still friends of course but be honest. :)

Tell him the truth: you don't feel anything for him, maybe he's not you're type? Tell him it's not about him, you do want him as a friend, but you don't think a relationship would work out. A relationship is based on feelings for each other, and if you start without that, you won't get anywhere. There's no point in being together with him, 'cause it's not going to make you happy, and eventually, you will make him unhappy too.

Any kind version of the truth is always polite.
You might just want to say, "I'm so sorry that I'm just not attracted to you in that way. You seem like a great guy, and I have some friends that would probably love to go out with you. How do you feel about being set up on a couple of blind dates?"

You know this is just not working for me. I think we would be better Friends than anything else and you want more than i am willing to give.If he says he is willing to wait, tell him no. And if he still insists, just walk out and ignore all forms of contact he may try. I just went through this. Some times if they are not controlling they will respect where you are coming from. Otherwise, they are only thinking of themselves.

You and I make the best of friends. It's great to have a friend like you who I can talk to about anything. If we take this any further then you might end up not liking me and I would never want that, ever.
Good Luck!

ok
I had this same problem
and it took me a while to figure it out.
I told him how it was.
I said.... I love you as a friend far too much to jeapordize our friendship.
If we were to go out
and something happened between us
we would probably hate each other.
And I am not willing to screw up our friendship for a romantic relationship.
Isn't it better to be good friends for forever... than "really good friends" for a short amount of time?
Thats what I told them.
And it worked.
I wish you the best of luck.

Tell him I dont want you to feel hurt but I must tell u that I dont look forward to a relationship with you.. Suggest you value his friendship and that you can only be a friend.

He will respect you more if your honest with him. Just tell him your not looking for a relationship and that you would rather be friends. It might hurt his feelings but this way he can move on and stop bugging you.

Just be honest with him, and tell him that a relationship with him in not in the cards, but you will love to just be his friend, and to you that is more important!
