It's great he's being honest. But this is basically the gentle way of letting you know he doesn't want to be with you. He thinks you're cool as a friend, but nothing more. At least not now. And he's telling you not to wait around for him.

Doesn't want you. Doesn't want to wreck your friendship.

If he wasn't into you he would've played with ya heart. But he let you know so it wouldn't be any bad blood. So hopefully when he do get over this girl he'll have a real chance to get to know you.

he likes you just as a best friend with whom he can share his feelings . asa far as love is concerned if he is TRYING TO FORGET dat another girl, means he loves her or else guys never take time to get over a relationship.

It's hard to tell without more context whether he's being honest or not. But taken at face value, it sounds like he's being honest. It's sensible to want time to get over a previous relationship. Give it time, and see what happens.

It means he's not into it. Who cares if it's an excuse? If it is, it means he doesn't want to hurt your feelings. He's not into it. It doesn't matter why - it has to do with him, not the quality of you.

Totally understand this situation I'm goin thru the same thing...but I've stopped the sexual tension an jus remain close friends back to what we had jus friends who talk about literally everything no strings attached... You should do the same!!!
