I feel like I'm leading him on. What should I do?

Anonymous
I met a guy online and we started messaging each other.

We talk a lot. All day, every day. About anything and everything.

There is some flirting on both ends. But I just flirt to be playful. I don't know why he flirts, but maybe he's joking around too.

I just like talking to him as a person but us dating is really impractical- he lives far away from me and is not what I'm looking for for a long term relationship- I only date seriously. He knows this about me and he knows a lot of things about him don't fit my criteria (different religion, culture, etc.).

He seems to like me very much In the compliments he gives me and how he says he feels close to me and things like that. I'm worried he's getting attached.

I'm attached to him as a friend and I might have a little crush on him but I don't have deep feelings.

I feel like I'm leading him on. What should I do? Should I just stop talking to him? I don't want to hurt him. He seems like a really nice guy.
