Do I need to let him down gently?

I've been "hanging out" with this guy, we act all flirty and there was chemistry. We went on a night out and ended up kissing (this has happened before but nothing came of it cos he never really made an effort to keep in touch with me or showed interest) and I stayed at his. I'd been told by a friend that he liked me and I said I liked him, so I assumed this would be the start of something. After that night we hung out like once a week, but whenever I saw him he never kissed me again or even tried to, but when I'd stay over he would try to put his hand down my pants and feel my boobs.. When I'd be clearly trying to sleep. So I'd just try to wriggle away (I didn't wanna do anything sexual too soon incase he was just using me as I've experienced this before). After a few times of this happening I'm beginning to get a bit fed up.. He acts all cuddly and playful with me, but still hasn't kissed me, so it's left me feeling a bit confused and ambiguous. It's been over a month of us hanging out, me staying at his and him texting me everyday but he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend or said anything about "what" we are.. And he doesn't really compliment me.. I just feel a bit confused. He's not the player type and I don't think he has much experience with girls so I don't know if it's all just shyness or what. I stopped contacting him so I thought he might figure something was up but jnstead he just never bothered to initiate conversation for a few days then he did and I felt awkward cos I want to tell him I don't really feel like there's anything going on between us anymore, but do I even need to tell him that? Or would it be infair to just back off and let him assume nothing is happening anymore? But if nothing was really happening in the first place then so I even need to say anything? I just don't want to end up months down the line kissing someone else and him being mad at me, when we aren't together? I just feel a bit confused as to where I stand...
