You're going to have to nicely give him a reason why you won't go out with him. Just saying "no" politely, leaves the idea that maybe next time she'll say yes. You're going to have to say: "Jim (whatever), I can't go out with you because ...........But I appreciate you asking me, but it just won't work out between us". This put's a finality to it. Just saying no isn't sparing his feelings because it's just stringing him along. Good Luck, you sound very sweet.
