This kid joey just asked me out, but i dont really like him that

say hes a great guy but you just wanna be friends with him!

say you want to be friends and if youu go out it might be awkward and you dont want that

"i like you as a friend im sorry"
ps if its over text then hes probably super shy and unsure about asking you... aka why it wasnt done in perosn

tell him you'd rather be friends. because if you dnt have feelings for him it will just be weird going out with someone you dnt even like.

tell him all u want to be is friends, or even that your not allowed to have a boyfriend

tell him that you just want to be friends, i had the same problem and i said yes, and it turned out that he only wanted to get pics out of me, if you don't like him, then don't lead him on. <3 good luck!
