An honest answer. If you're surprised, tell him, if you're glad because you missed him too, then tell him that. If you're not so glad, tell him there is a better way to spend his time. You can miss someone and not be in love with them, perhaps that's his thing and you can just say oh, that's nice.

The best way to go about it is to just be straight with him, you can't expect hik to read your mind. If you don't tell him what's up he'll torture himself trying to figure out what he did wrong, and how to fix it. If you want a solution to your problem, tell him, if you just want him to be there for you, tell him.

Come up with clear boundaries. Let him know what you want out of a relationship and what you don't want. Reassure his poor little fears that you're not looking to get serious unless the two of you talk about it together, once you get to that point. Tell him what you expect, too.

Be straight up and to the point. Just tell him “Yeah, I don't think I'm ready for that right now.” he'll likely understand, he might feel a little hurt but he'll get over it after a few minutes and it'll be business as usual. Don't lead him on though, be direct.

If they're very upset and you don't think humor would be appropriate, text them to ask if they want to talk about the problem, and offer genuine support by saying things like, “I'm so sorry that happened to you,” or, “I'm here for you.” Remind the person of the things you love about them, and invite them to hang out ...
