How to tell this guy it's not working? [I Need Dating Advice]

Hi. So I met this guy a few weeks ago on a dating site. We were talking a bit like every day, exchanged numbers and have been texting every day all week as well as having like 3 hour long conversations.

He seems like a really cool person. But I don't get the vibe -- at least when talking on the phone..over text it's pretty decent -- that he's into the conversation enough overall. He doesn't seem very responsive and kind of takes a back seat. If I tell him something about me, he only follows it up with "Yeah this similar thing happened to me once" and doesn't ask me any questions about myself at all, really.

So I've already decided I can't do this and just wanna be friends if he does. But I've never been good at knowing how and when to say it. Should I do it today knowing I feel this way now? Should I call him to say it? Is there a good way to phrase it so it doesn't sound like a break up when we're not even dating? I'm just trying to do it in the best way I can. Thank you in advance if you try to help.

Don't be shallow. Some slwo going people can be surprising package but they need time. It's just been a week, which is tarange to come to a conclusion to any one.

If it doesn't make sense. Just tell him, u not seeing him as interest. Simple

@Reflection2 I see where you're coming from and can agree that sometimes people need more time. But I actually asked him if he's just so quiet in general, and he said that's how he normally is. Regardless I appreciate it.
