Life is about to get a little bit more complicated...

So... Daniel Case from church likes me.  He gave me a rose, a plush pig, and a poem.  The poem was pretty intense.  I didn't say much, just thank you and a friendly hug.  I don't feel any feelings for him, but I know I should give him an answer soon and it's probably going to be "Sorry , I don't have any feelings for you".  It sucks, he is a great guy, even speaks French, just not what I'm looking for.  What the heck should I say so that he doesn't cry?
