If a guy says this is he just saying he doesn’t want anything serious with you?

I’ve been friends with a guy for over a year now, and recently we’ve started to get closer. However, he has a girlfriend. They’ve been having difficulties for a couple of months now and he’s confided in me a lot of the times.

Recently things have been getting a bit flirty between us and we both know we have some sort of feelings for each other, but obviously not acting on them because he’s in a relationship.

However, the other day he told me he feels like things are going to end after quarantine, as it nearly ended the other night & he’s just had enough. During that conversation he said If it does end he’ll just be single for a while.

i agreed and said that’s most prob the best idea as you don’t want to drag your baggage over into your next relationship. Which he agreed.

My question is was he just saying that to let me know he doesn’t want to jump straight into things or to basically say he doesn’t want anything serious with me?
