When a guy says he wants to be friends with benefits?

Anonymous
Im not experienced when it comes to dating, in fact I just had my first kiss. I know he expected more but i said no, he didn't pressure me or anything, but he did say he wanted to be just friends with benefits. His reason was because we work together. I'm confused, I've known this guy for about a year and I've always thought he would be the type to want a relationship, not just sex. In no way do I want to put him down, if that's what he wants then that's fine for him, but it's not what I want. I've been told by someone that what he said was loud and clear, that if I want more than sex I shouldn't persue anything. Another friend told me that I should give it a shot, maybe it'll evolve into something else. I'm so confused and unexpireneced I don't know what to do. Was his excuse a cop out or am I just overreacting? I could really use some advice.
