How about this: next time he makes a flirty comment, smile and say something along the lines of "You know, you and Alex* would probably make a good couple. Do you want me to put a good word in for you?". Offering to set him up with one of your other friends is a pretty clear 'I like you but...

Maybe one of the classic PC RPGs - has he ever played Baldur's Gate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldurs_Gate]? The graphics are showing their age but it's still immensely entertaining.
