It would seem like the very simple and logical answer.
Though maybe he does and wants to hold her in reserve as a backup.
There's always just the "I'm not looking for a relationship right now" answer.
Really though... any convoluted schemes past that are just going to make things worse then better... afterall it's just maintaining another lie on top of the already big one he's hiding.
Single lies are hard enough to keep, but when you let them build up... you're just asking for trouble.
Heck, the fact that you guys have concocted the belief that you need to come up with some elaborate lie to handle this problem is already a sign of the foundations breaking.
When the simple truth of "I'm not interested in you romatically" is simple enough and not going to raise the "OMG you're gay! accusations."
It's not like you even need a reason past "I've just never thought of you that way and don't think I can." or even "I used to think of you like that, but I just don't anymore, I don't think it will come back."
I've used it to turn down women before. I mean it's not like if your single you have to date the first women that says "Hey, I choose you!"

Well I must admit that I did kinda freak him out with my paranoya. As I said in my initial post he was planning on telling her that he's seeing someone, but that could obviously backfire. Sadly, maybe I did overexaggerate and have probably put ideas into his head that'll make things worse. I suppose the simple "I'm just not into you" could be the best approach.

Well they say the key to lieing is to keep it simple and as close to the truth as possible, that way it's easy to keep up the lie.
Besides, it's the least likely to cause problems... come up with any external reason, and once that reason is gone, you've got to come up with another etc.
She may try and ask him out a couple more times, but eventually will understand and leave it simply at that. Enough people have found themselves in the "Friend" zone so it's not like it's foreign.
