I need some advice on how to tell a guy I'm just not interested.

Guys don't like hearing "let's just be friends" anymore than we do, especially since he's not asking you on a date so you can be friends.

I just had to do this (again) recently. It's NEVER easy. I think it's almost as hard to say it as it is to hear it.

I just told him that I didn't think we were a good match and that something was just missing for me. I added that it was "difficult to say that," but I don't know if that helped or not.

HE offered up the idea of being friends and getting together to see some live music (we share similar music taste), but I have been there before. It may not be the case with him, but I have had guys in the past agree to be "just friends" but they maintained a secret hope that it would grow into more and the issue just reared its head later anyway.
