How do I friend zone temporarily?

Honesty is the best option. Always.
The friendzone is the coward way of telling a person that he is not the right one. If you have fun just hanging around with this guy, then tell him that you are only interested in hanging out and nothing more.
It is up to you not to mislead the guy and by friendzoning him, you are actually giving him false hopes. Have the courage and decency to be honest with him and tell him that you are not interested in anything more than just hanging out and that you have no intentions to let the situation go beyond just being friends. You owe it to him not to mislead him to thinking that he has a chance to be more than just friends.
Just be honest. "Friendzone" isn't good. Just be clear to him.
I don’t know what to tell you you’re in a tough pickle
