Why is this an excuse for rejection?

A guy said he’s not interested in me because he lives too far meanwhile he wanted to text me and talk to me. Why all of the sudden he said I’m not interested you are too far away as an excuse to not hook up or be my friend with benefits? Isn’t that weird how he wanted to text me but said sorry not interested you are too far away as an excuse?
