He wants to be friends for now?

Anonymous
Broke up with my friends with benefits today. We were friends with benefits for about 5 months. I fell in love pretty hard with him. I hate thinking I thought I could handle it and that I ended up falling in love. Once I told him everything he was really understanding and kind about it. We both agreed that we still want to be apart of each other's lives and still be friends. Then he tells me he just wants to be friends for right now. He just bought a house and wants to adjust to living on his on. What do you think does it sound genuine or sound like it's falseep hope? I also meant to add that he kept saying he only saw me as a friend and that's why I'm confused that he would say for now. Thanks in advance!
