I would just tell him that you only think of him as a friend. Be careful about keeping in touch with him. It is very hard to be friends with a guy who really wants to be more than just friends. Some guys are the most persistent. It becomes quite a burden, knowing they are only staying friends with you because they are hoping you'll change your mind. And be prepared to have the "I only like you as a friend" conversation over and over and over...

I would give him some kind of compliment first, as in "I think you're really nice looking , " and then say "but I just don't feel that
