What does it mean when my friend won't tell me if this guy is single or not?

Okay so around three months ago, my friend was telling me about his friend who is looking for a relationship.

Recently, I got to know his friend and am interested in him. So, I asked my friend if the friend has successfully found a relationship yet and my friend replied with "I'm not sure if it's my place to give you an answer." What might be some reasons that my friend replied like this when he was the one who first brought up this topic to me anyways? Could this mean that the friend is now in a relationship, or am I overthinking this?

UPDATE: TO CLARIFY, my friend is a STRAIGHT MALE.
The guy my friend is telling me about is also a STRAIGHT MALE.
