What shall I reply?

Guys there is a man whom i love a lot. It seems he is not aware of it perhaps I never make it that way because I don't want to loose him or perhaps because he will reject me since we have a age gap and religion which is an issue. So we just keep it to friendship and while chatting he asked "Shall I start dating again?" I dont want him to see another woman but I also dont want him to stay lonely and find a girl who can take care of him. So what shall i say?

Tell him that you like him and that you want to fill in the parts he is missing (even if it isn't a "normal" relationship)

Admit to how u feel unless u are ready to move on
