What does mean if a guy says this when you ask him out?

like he said he likes you but he doesn't want you to hurt or to get hurt himself

One of the biggest things people your age need to understand is: you're still young! No need to rush or overanalyze everything. And trust me I've been there and seen other people like my friends be there and get into so many break-ups, broken hearts, etc. when really they should have waited for both the RIGHT person and time. Also keep in mind that the chances of a teenage relationship lasting are very, very slim anyways, so just don't waste your time on worrying about this guy. Just be friends with him. Maybe something will happen between you and him, but most likely you'll later find someone else and either think that was [or is] a good friendship that you and this first guy happened or regret anything you did to try to make it more.

it's only been 2 weeks since you met him, I don't blame him for not rushing into anything, especially if he just came out of a relation. if you move too quickly you could just become a rebound for him, so I would continue the relationship you have going on now. it sounds like you are enjoying it if you were able to begin to get feelings for him, and him getting feelings for you as well. I would just enjoy the place you are at now, because once you start dating you can't have this phase back =)

It's great that you had the guts to ask him out.

My advice is, don't do anything. He obviously likes your company, because he was Facebooking and talking with you. But right now, he does not want to go out with you.

It's hard to say why he told you that he doesn't want another relationship right now. There are two possible reasons... Either he is still feeling sad about a previous relationship and doesn't feel ready to be with anyone yet, or he likes you as a friend, but not as a girlfriend.

The reason I think you should not do anything is that if you pressure him to go out with you, you will probably drive him away and ruin your friendship. Sometimes it is possible to work on someone and change their mind, but I don't think you should do this. The reason is that relationships don't work when one person is doing all the chasing and the other person is reluctant. If you persuaded him him to go out with you and he wasn't really sure, then you might feel like he didn't really want to be with you. You would feel insecure.

I don't want to get your hopes up, but he did say that he really likes you. Maybe with some time, he'll change his mind. I don't know though. My advice is, don't wait for him. Keep being friendly, but make sure to hang out with other people and meet other guys. Good luck!
