If you didn't respond to him, then he probably got the "message" that way. If you don't know if he likes you still, then don't bring it up or ask him especially if you two don't hang out. He may look at you through the halls but that's your only [?] interaction with him. If he starts talking to you or trying to get your attention again, then sure.. tell him you're not interested or that you don't want a relationship. You could put it simply and say you like him as a friend.
I'm sure he was hurt when you didn't know what to say. He could have understood your action to not reply but you probably still make him smile.. Who knows. You can ask him or just drop it until the right moment comes [when he speaks to you?] [ queenhearts's advice column | Ask queenhearts A Question ]

I know you might not want to hurt his feelings by telling him that you don't want to be more than friends. If you let him entertain the idea that there is hope for him for too long, then it will just be harder for him to get over it when you break it to him. So honestly, the sooner you let him know the better off. It doesn't have to be harsh and make sure you let him know that you either appreciate it or thought it was nice that he liked you, but that you feel it would be better for the both of you if you just stayed as friends. Remember, honesty is the best policy. If he really does like you, I'm sure he will understand and still want to be your friend anyway. Hope that helped and good luck.

Don't beat around the bush.
It's not a bad thing. and he will understand and probably be thankful he doesn't have to keep holding on to something that'll never happen. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
JustSomeone answered Saturday January 5 2008, 10:02 pm: if he keeps looking at you like that then yes he probably still likes you. but if you only like him as a friend dont give him the wrong idea. next time you see him try to talk to him and either tell him you just want to be friends or if thats too awkward give hints. be nice, but dont flirt because that will give him the wrong idea and then you'll break his heart =[ but if he asks you out again, just tell him you want to stay friends [ JustSomeone's advice column | Ask JustSomeone A Question ]
