Tell him in a nice way how you appreciate his friendship and that you don't feel that way towards him. Tell him you don't mean to hurt his feeling in any way and that isn't your intention but your better of as his friend. =)
don't get racial on him about not dating outside your race...I wish most people saw outside the whole race thing...(sigh) oh well...
Good luck

First, I want to say... that meaning good relationship or with couples of a different race. I would let that be the reason. But if you truly not interested in him. I would just tell him. Prolonging it will cause a bigger catastrophe. He will respect you more if you talk about your feelings.

There really is no way you can tell him without hurting him. Rejection hurts no matter how gently you put it. The best thing you can do is just tell him that you aren't interested in him in that way. He will be hurt, but he will get over it in time and move on.

Just tell him you don't feel the same way. No explanation needed. If you don't tell him, he will continue to pursue you and that may hurt him in the long run as he may develop even stronger feelings for you.

just be honest and tell him that he is a really nice guy but unfortunately that he is not the kind of guy you are attracted to. Be honest and polite that all you need to do.
