Why would a guy reject a hook-up?

Anonymous
Met a guy on tinder and we texted the whole day. We were both very flirty and pervy. And we were both up for a hook-up. He took my number and asked me on a date the next day. I went, we met and it was great. He texted me for the next few days, kept saying how super cute and beautiful I am and then asked to see me again. I invited him over my place and he sounded excited about it. He came and... nada. On his way out I went in for a kiss and he turned his cheek. When he got home I asked him what is wrong and he gave me some lame reason about not wanting to fuck things up and how he would like us to just be friends. He really meant it because ever since then he has been acting like a best friend (texting, calling, initiating hang outs, helping me out, talking about deep stuff, etc.)
