This person does not want to date but their friends want them to.
Hi,
First of all, I want you to know even if he's your closest friend in the world, you still have the rights to say no or reject them when someone asks if you want to go out with them. You should never feel that you're obligated to like them or date them just because they've been nice to you. So I don't want you to feel scared because you haven't done anything wrong for not wanting to date him. I would say that one of the reasons you might feel scared because you feel alone because even your friends are shipping you with him.
Shipping has always been something that I have watched my friends do to our other friends and I do join them too but if my friends tell us that they feel uncomfortable with the shipping, I would understand and stop doing it. Shipping for me, is more of a joke because at the end of the day, if they don't like each other (or in your case, the feelings are unrequited); who am I to force them to be together just because I think they'll make a cute pair? At the end of the day, it's your choice that is the most important because you know your feelings and yourself best. So what should you do about your friends? You should directly tell them you don't have any interest in dating him, or even anyone at the moment so it would be better if they stop shipping him with you. You should also tell them what them shipping you with him makes you feel because your feelings matter the most here.
You should also properly tell him that you are not interested in being in a relationship at the moment. I know that you feel afraid of his feelings for you because you have only gotten to know him recently but he still did like you and his feelings do matter as he is still a person just like you. You should properly give him a response to his feelings and if you want, you can tell him that you guys can still remain friends but you should make it clear to him that you don't promise him anything like a romantic relationship in the future.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.
