If he hasn't picked up your hints, it might be time to just come out and tell him how you feel. Leave room for him to back out gracefully. Something like 'You know, I really value your friendship, so I don't want there to be any misunderstanding between us. (Pause) I could be mistaken, but I sense you're wanting more of a romantic relationship than I am. I'm really just wanting friendship.'
If he asks why, say you don't really have a reason, you just don't have those types of feelings for him. Don't say 'well I really like guys who are taller/better looking/whatever'. Even if he insists he wants to know the reason, you may feel bad if you're too truthful about it.
