how do i friendzone someone that likes me?

Question

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..

Answer

Say something like. You're a brother to me.
That will instantly kill it.
My mans close friend heard that from a girl he was living with & it helped him move on

Answer

Just tell him straight from the beginning you have no interest in being anything more than friends. Be honest a d direct. If he won't be friends with you after that, it's his choice but you're probably better off because you then know he never had an interest in you as anything other than a potential girlfriend. 
You don't want to beat around the bush about this. Ever. Some guys just don't get it. Some guys take a soft/gentle no as a maybe or a not right now.

Answer

I agree with pp. Be direct and tell him you dont want to be anything more than friends. Most guys dont want to be friends with a girl they are interested in who doesnt like them back.
