Believe it or not, words escape me all the time in RL I do much better here at the keyboard for some reason Sometimes in life (more often than not actually) it's better for you to say something like "Gee, thanks, I really appreciate this but I don't think this is for me" then move on. Their feelings are saved so you might still have a friend (or not-- but by then it doesn't matter) and you just threw the stress it's causing you away. And you are going onto other and hopefully better people so you feel better. It may not be what you really feel but it's a very effective technique that causes no real pain for anyone, including you, and that's important
