Been there, done that.
Okay, what you need to do is analyze the situation. When you think of him, do you have a smile on your face? When you're around him, do you get nervous and have butterflies in your stomach? Is he always on your mind? Do you always want to be with him? Can you picture yourself as his girlfriend, like telling people that you are both in a relationship with eachother?
Maybe you should give it some time, and try to think about what you really want. Be honest with yourself and you can be honest with him. If you don't like him, then you need to tell him that you like him only in a friends way, but that he will find a great girl who will love him just in a different way than how you like him. If you enter a relaionship with him; one that you don't want to be in, than you are just hurting him more by making yourself miserable and lying to him. You can save him a lot of hurt by just being truthful with him, guys are easily discouraged and easily encouraged. If you are sending him mixed signals or kind of implying that you like him, he's going to be hooked on you. Don't let that happen if you truthfully don't feel the same way.
Put yourself in his shoes, if you kept telling a guy that you like him, and he went along with it but really didn't know if he liked you or that he didn't like you at all and went into a relationship with you knowing this, and then you both broke up. wouldn't that be much worse than the guy telling you [before being in a relationship with you] that he just didn't feel the same and thinks of you as a great friend?
Think about it :]
Hope I helped, and don't hesitate to ask me any other questions you may have :] xxo good luck girl ! [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]

At least not as any more than a friend. You're probably confused because you want to like him so you don't hurt him. I've been there. It is hard to let people down, but it would be worse if you lied to him. [ Meetmyyimshi13's advice column | Ask Meetmyyimshi13 A Question ]
