How should I respond to his text asking to hang out sometime if I don't like him back?

There’s they guy that’s interested me, but I don’t feel the same towards. I’ve barely spoken a word to this guy too, so I have no idea who he is and how he acts. By the sounds of it though, I think he’s liked me all year. He is close friends with one of my friends, so the friend gave him my phone number. Our friend called me to let me know what was happening, and told me this guy liked me. To be honest, I wasn’t that surprised that he liked me, just because of the way he acts around me. This was (and still is) a very awkward situation for me, but I tried to be nice, as he seemed very shy, and went along with it. So i’ve been texting this guy (he called me once) for like the past 2 days, and today he asked me if I would be up for hanging out sometime. I don't want to lead him on and let him think I want to be with him, but I also don’t want to be mean or rude. How should I respond to his text?

I’ll be glad to clear anything up if this doesn’t make sense, or provide more information if needed.
