Dear {Name},
Thank you so much for inviting me out to {event/activity}. I just wanted to get ahead of any potential awkwardness and let you know that I am not interested or available to go on a date with you. However, I greatly enjoy your company and would be so happy to spend more time with you as a friend.
If you're interested in hanging out as friends sometime, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope there are no hard feelings. Thank you again for the very kind invitation.
Warmly,
{Name}
