I would have said “I’m not interested” rather than “I don’t really have any feelings for you” because some people (like him) see that as still a window of hope because they think “i don’t really have any feelings for you AT THIS MOMENT BECAUSE I DONT KNOW YOU VERY WELL”
The truth is the ultimate defense. If you have no feeling for him say so. Don't play games. In high school I asked a girl out and she told me that she'd be free on February 30th. I graduated in 1978. That's how long this has stuck with me.
On the other hand, women who simply said "No thanks" to dates, aren't even memorable. Trust me, you did fine.
Could've explained why you don't have feelings for him?
That wasn't harsh, but I'm sure it was still tough for him to hear. Either way, better to be honest with him than to lead him on or ghost him.

You rejected him the best way you could. Clear and concise, I'd say polite even. Rejection is harder to handle than it is to give it out, but not by a whole lot.
Actually that was perfect, it wasn't too harsh. In my opinion people beat around the bush too much. Offering to still be his friend is very sweet
As long as he understands your intention I think it’s fine
He still has hope. So it ain't rude
That why I don't approach women anymore
