You say "No, I don't" or if you DO like him, you would say "Yes, I do."
The question assumes you DON'T like him but you would answer the question the same way as if they asked "Do you like him?"

@Nabinekoo That's also natural.
"Don't you like him?"
Yes, I do. 好き
No, I don't. 好きじゃない
日本語:質問中、「Don't...?」は「Do you...?」としてよくわかります😅。ネイティブも混乱します笑。ですから、「Yes/No」より「I do/I don't」のほうが大事です。
英語:When we're asked a question, we often interpret "don't...?" as "do you...?"😅. That's why it's important to say "I do/I don't," because even natives get confused, lol.
"Do you not like him?"
No, I do. 好き
No, I don't. 好きじゃない
どうして 「Yes, I don't」ではなく「No, I don't」って言うのかわかりませんが、自然です。
