I don't dislike it = 嫌いではない
日本語と同様反対言葉を二つ使って少し分かりづらい言い回しです。「嫌いではない、でも格別好きとは言っていない」と言った感じですね。
A: What do you think of the new cafe down the street?
(新しく近所に出来たカフェどう思う？)
B: I don't dislike it.
(嫌いじゃない)
A: How do you feel about going hiking this weekend?
（今週末、ハイキングに行くのはどう思いますか？）
B: I don't dislike it.
（嫌いではないよ）
True, saying "I don't not like (something)" is considered a double-negative, but in casual conversation it is totally okay to say. The nuance is that you don't hate it, but you don't exactly like it, either.
If you used a phrase like, "it's not that I hate it, " it will usually flow something like this:
- "It's not that I hate it, but I can't say that I like it."
You will almost always follow "it's not that I hate it" with the word "but" and then continue on:
- "It's not that I hate it, but I'm not a big fan."
- "It's not that I hate it, but I don't know enough about it to like it."
- "It's not that I hate it, but I don't really like it."
そうでうすね。I don't not like …という形は二重に否定しています。
しかし、カジュアルな会話では結構使われたり足ます。
ニュアンスとしては、嫌いというわけではないｋが、好きというわけでもない、という感じです。It's not that I hate itは大抵後ろにこういう文がつきます。
It's not that I hate it, I can't say that I like it. ""it's not that I hate it""
にはそのあとに、"but""がついて文が続くことが多いです。
例えば；
- ""It's not that I hate it, but I'm not a big fan.""
嫌いというわけではないけど、そこまでファンじゃない。
- ""It's not that I hate it, but I don't know enough about it to like it.""
嫌いというわけではないけど、好きになるほど詳しくない。
- ""It's not that I hate it, but I don't really like it."""
嫌いというわけではないけど、本当に好きってわけでもない。
"keen" is an English word that is often used in colloquial language. It is used often, here is an example:
Susie: Hey George, would you like to try some green tea?
George: Go on then, I'll give it a try.
Susie: Here you go.
George: I don't hate it but I'm not too keen on the taste.
'don't' and 'hate' are two negatives used which is ok in English but only in a less formal setting.
"It's not bad" is more polite if you don't want to offend the person you are talking to.
"keen" は口語でよく使われます。
以下例文です：
Susie: Hey George, would you like to try some green tea?
（ねえ、George、緑茶飲んでみる？）
George: Go on then, I'll give it a try.
（うん、じゃ、ちょうだい）
Susie: Here you go.
（どうぞ）
George: I don't hate it but I'm not too keen on the taste.
（嫌いじゃないけど、味がそんなに好きじゃないかな）
"don't" と "hate" はどちらも否定語ですが、インフォーマルな場面なら問題ありません。
相手の気持ちを害したくないなら、"It's not bad" の方が丁寧です。
You could say either "I don't really like it" or "I don't like it so much", both of these will express the same feeling that you neither like it or hate it.
Also "I'm not too fond of it" is a great expression in a less casual setting or if you don't want to insult the thing that you don't like.
Example:
(Let's suppose you're talking with a group of people who really like a TV show and you feel left out because you don't really like it that much.)
Jim: I love watching that show
Dave: My wife loves it and it's actually the only show we completely agree to watch together.
Damian: There's probably nothing better than that show at the moment.
John: Yes! How about you Francesco? Do you watch it?
Francesco (me) : Meh, I'm not too fond of it.
Group: Whaaaaaaaat?!!!
Me: I'm just not really into those kind of shows.
I don't really like it. やI don't like it so much これら二つは同じ意味を表し、どちらも嫌いでも好きでもない、という意味です。
また、I am not too found of it.これはちょっとフォーマルな言い方になり、その食べ物をすすめたり、給仕してくれた人に対して無礼のないように言う言い方です。
例
(Let's suppose you're talking with a group of people who really like a TV show and you feel left out because you don't really like it that much.)
テレビの大好きな人たちと話しているとき、自分はテレビがそんなに好きじゃないので仲間外れな気分になるかもしれませんね。
Jim: I love watching that show
あの番組見るの大好きなんだ。
Dave: My wife loves it and it's actually the only show we completely agree to watch together.
ワイフも好きで、一緒に見てる番組はあれだけさ。
Damian: There's probably nothing better than that show at the moment.
あの番組より良いのは他にはないよな。
John: Yes! How about you Francesco? Do you watch it?
ああ、フランセスコ、君はどうだい？見てるのかい？
Francesco (me) : Meh, I'm not too fond of it.
ああ、俺はあんまり好きじゃないんだよね。
Group: Whaaaaaaaat?!!!
はああああああ？
Me: I'm just not really into those kind of shows.
ああいう番組あんまり好きじゃないのさ。
All of these sound slightly negative, so if you want a more neutral answer you should say "it's alright" or "it's okay". If you want to discourage something, "I'm not really interested in that" is better. If you want to defend your position after someone asks if you don't like something, you can say "I don't dislike it."
これらはすべて少しネガティブな表現です。
もし中立的な答えをしたいなら、
"it's alright" や "it's okay".
と言ったほうがいいです。
もし会話を続けたくないときは、
"I'm not really interested in that" (あまり興味がないの)
と言えば良いでしょう。
「嫌いなの？」と聞かれたときには、
"I don't dislike it." (別にきらいじゃないよ)
と言ってご自身を守ることも出来ます。
This is one way to say that you don't like something very much.
example : I'm not really a fan of eating out all the time.
You can use it to talk about something that you dislike a little bit.
これはあなたが何か非常に好きではないと言う一つの方法です。
例： I'm not really a fan of eating out all the time.ー私はいつも外食をすることがいいとは思いません。
あなたが少し嫌いなことについて話すのに使うことができます。
I don't dislike it, but I'm also not overly fond of it.
Let's just say that it's not something that I'll put at the top of my list of favourites.
Not overly fond means that you're not crazy about it.
You always use let's just say, when you want to explain what you
meant in the sentence before.
Example:
I don't hate it. Let's just say that it's not something that I'll put at the
top of my list of favourites.
あなたがそれにそんなに興味がないことを意味します。
あなたが何を思っているか説明したいときは、
例：
I don't hate it. Let's just say that it's not something that I'll put at the
top of my list of favourites.
私はそれが嫌いではありません。 ただ、あなたのお気に入りの一番にすることはないでしょう

The word neutral is all about a balance, this word expresses something that is in the middle, it is not hot or cold, it is not beautiful or ugly, it is simple and quiet and doesn't hold many opinions on anything.
The second sentence above explains that you are not on any side but you are in the middle because you have no real opinion about the matter.
"I don't have much opinion on this."
"I don't hold any strong opinions when it comes to this topic."
"I don't care much about the topic."
"neutral" という語はバランスについていいます。真ん中にあるものを指す言葉です。熱くもなく冷たくもない、美しくもなく醜くもない、どちらの側にも付かず静観することをいいます。
二つ目の例は「それについて意見は持っておらず、中立な立場である」という意味です。
"I don't have much opinion on this."（これについて特に意見は持っていません）
"I don't hold any strong opinions when it comes to this topic."（これについては特に意見を持っていません）
"I don't care much about the topic."（これについてはあまり関心がありません）
