how do i friendzone someone that likes me?

how do i friendzone someone that likes me without being rude and losing him as a friend? (he’s 16 i’m 15)

he’s super sweet, athletic, fit, smells nice and has a nice smile and eyes but i’m just not interested like that :/ i feel bad because i asked if he was joking and i think that made him upset..
