How to let a guy know you're not interested but stay on good terms

I haven't been in this situation before and I would really appreciate some advice!

Its clear that a man who is events organiser for a club I go to is very keen. He's very nice to everyone, but he's made it very clear he's interested and keeps asking me out on dates.

He's a nice guy but I'm not interested and if I were to date him it would be so awkward afterwards that it would ruin my social life.

I don't know what I should say or if I should just keep fobbing him off. I'm going through a divorce at the moment and whilst I am open minded about meeting new men, I don't want to risk my newfound social life after years of not being allowed to have friends. It's very nice to see a man showing interest but this one definitely isn't for me.

Could anyone suggest what I should say or do so that I can keep on nice terms with him but let him know I'm not interested? It's getting a bit awkward as everyone is noticing and I'm starting to feel a bit embarrassed by it.

Thank you.

Tell him you're not interested in a relationship as this is your time for yourself after your divorce.

"I'm not interested "

If he's a dick he will make it uncomfortable. You don't need an explanation or justification for not being interested. The onus is on him to be a mature adult and accept it with grace.
