Why would a guy approach a girl he rejected trying to be her friend?

Anonymous

Okay so, I told my friend this guy was cute, and she went and told him what I said. The boy apparently said "he's not looking for a relationship," and to, "let me down easy." Anyways, a few days later the boy started talking to me, we walked down the hall together talking, and he eventually asked me for my social media. I gave him my number, and when we were texting I asked him if he had a girlfriend. He told me, "nah I'm not really looking for a relationship."
