I'm going to reject a guy by telling him that I'm gay
Why do you need to tell him that you are gay?
I just wanna be his friend, that's why I'm going to tell him that I'm gay.
I think it's okay for you to reject a person that you have no interest with. However, lying to him and telling him that you are gay it's not the best way to do so, as if he found out that you lied, they may find you very untrustworthy and a bad person. How about you try and tell him the truth that you are just not interested?
Are you saying that I'm lying?

Are you saying that I'm lying?
I'm not sure if you're lying or not, since you haven't told me one way or the other if you actually are gay.  All I'm trying to tell you is that there's nothing wrong with rejecting someone you aren't interested in, and you don't need to give reasons unless you feel you should.
