No offense, but a bunch of girls having feelings for one guy doesn't make a harem. The term 'harem' is used very lightly. It's like no one even knows what a harem actually is. A bunch of girls can be romantically attracted to the same guy. But the determining factor of the series being a harem is whether all of the girls are fighting to be the guy's 'one and only' or are they(or some of them) willing to be in a harem or at least considering it? If there is absolutely no signs or hopes of there being a harem, then it's not a harem. It is basically just a series of multiple girls being attracted to the same guy. So sorry all you SAO and IS fans. A guy in real life could have a bunch of women attracted to him at the same time, so it's nothing special.
