How much space should I give him and does it seem like he is not interested in friendship?

Anonymous

I met a guy and we had a once off friends with benefits fling. It didn’t really go to plan and he was embarrassed. I wasn’t going to contact him after that but he seemed like a really nice guy and I have a lot in common with him.
He replied to my texts a few times after but then said I’m sorry for now I’m not available with friends with benefits but happy to chat as fiends. How can I make him comfortable to know I’m not judgmental and think he is a great guy? How much space should I give him or does it seem like he isn’t interested in friendship?
