Went on a second date due to his persistence. My friends thought I should give him a second chance because I described him as nice, but no spark.
You did nothing wrong. A 2nd date to see if there's something there isn't a huge deal, either. If you'd have felt a spark you would have showed more interest. If you're not feeling it, you should let the guy know.

Agree, it's no skin of your back if it turns out you don't change your mind. Thank him for the date, say you two couldn't date because of lack of chemistry, and go on your merry way. No need to do any mind games.

It's not her fault this guy is already getting Illusions of Grandeur. As long as she makes sure the guy understands that she isn't interested during the next conversation, in person or on the phone or in text, there shouldn't be an issue.

Definitely. I think that unless someone really repels or repulses you on a first date, one date is often not enough to gauge if there is a connection. There's no harm in a second date.
And I agree, you can be polite but honest and firm in letting him know you're not interested and there is no reason to lie about having a disease. That's the coward's way out, so don't stoop to that.
You can say something like "I don't feel that we have a connection, but enjoyed our dates and wish you well in the future" and leave it at that. It's barely 20 words but it's to the point, no mistaking your feelings, and it's not hurtful or deceitful or laying blame anywhere.
I could imagine him saying he wants to be with you anyway. Then what?
Funny you should say that, my gf said knowing your luck he'll say he has it also.
Btw...I said that tongue in cheek.
