I met the sweetest guy who would make the perfect bf but one problem i dont see him like that.... = /?

me and this guy started dating. He's so sweet and caring and always wants to hang out, he calls or texts me everyday, and i feel like he would make the perfect boyfriend. He likes me alot but i just dont see him like that. I really want to start liking him but i cant . It's really hard for me to start liking guys cuz i always meet the wrong ones that dont treat me the way a girl should be treated. Ive learned from my mistakes but now i have such a shield up i feel like i cant let anyone in. He's realy attentive and seems like he would do so much for me but im not really that attracted to him. I know looks arent everything but i dont feel like i have that connection with him but i dont want to let him go either because i feel like i would be losing out cuz he seems like everything i would want in a guy = /. what should i do???do i just take it slow and hope to start feeling something?
