How To Politely Decline Being Best Man
ask him genuinely if he has any friends/brother that he is closer to and would feel slighted if they were not chosen. if he says yes, then encourage him to choose them and give it your blessing after convincing him it was his idea to choose them.
if he says no, you're the only one he's close to. well, good luck! I have no answer for that.

I Introduced this guy on accident and he thinks he owes me. My wife and I were taking her friend out to dinner and I didn't want to be the third wheel and he had texted me that he was in town so I invited him to join so it wasn't me and 2 women blabbing about nothing. He thinks it was us arranging them to meet. It really wasn't, he doesn't owe me anything lol and I just dont want best man responsibilities for a wedding in new york, a wedding I probably wouldn't attend anyways.

I don't think you're going to get a better response than your first from Masterag.
Ask him if there's anyone who might feel slighted if they weren't chosen, putting the "owing you" for introducing them aside. If he doesn't have an answer, then you're more than likely the closest friend he has. I don't think it would be fair to judge you for still declining if you don't feel the same way about yall's relationship, but it's something to consider and I'm sure would mean a great deal to him if you accepted.

This is exactly what my mom did when her college roommate asked her to be her maid of honor. She said she was flattered, but thought that it wouldn't be fair to her friend's sister.
Her friend understood, my mom was in the wedding as a bridesmaid, and they are still good friends.

figure out who he should have asked and tell him your honored but you really don't want to take their honor when their meeting was fate/blind luck. You are just happy they are married.
OR
Just say it's not to late old school style until it makes him uncomfortable.
I was a groomsman for a grad school guy I barely knew. I figured if he was down to asking me he really need me in lol
