How do I stop catching feelings for a guy who I just want to be friends with

I met this handsome guy through a mutual friend, I'm at that certain point in my life where I'm feeling the need to settle down and get into a relationship so when I met him ofc he peaked my interest. He's a good looking guy, tall, has the same interests as me and we've even VCed together for hrs after all our other friends fell asleep and we sometimes talk all day in dms.

The thing is, I can usually tell if a guy is interested in me, and all of those times I suspected it, I was right. He on the other hand, doesn't exhibit most of the signs indicating it. Even if he does he also does it to his other friends which makes me think he's just that type of guy. It's not like I fell for him at first sight or something like that, Im just interested because we do have a lot of things in common and he's a pretty good guy. Outside of that I still do want to be friends with him so like, idk if I should continue harboring such feelings/thoughts with the prospect of him someday liking me back if I do pursue him or just give it up and be friends (I don't constantly think abt feelings so)

He definitely treats me a bit differently than our other friends, like he's more attentive when they talk/ he banters better with them, but that may just be bc I'm the only other woman in our circle aside from the 2 girls the other 2 guys in our circle are courting and he's usually goofing around with the dudes. We also do joke and banter around together and talk for hrs but that's when they're gone and it's only us two or one other person.

That being said I heard some guys act more restrained with girls they're interested in or are more careful with what they say to them so like, idk?? (Btw he only met those friends around the same time as me)

Man its my first time feeling like this so I need some advice.
