He doesn’t want to commit to you and wants to keep his options open. Sorry :(

Either A: he doesn’t believe in himself nor his ability to be a good boyfriend to you, he doesn’t feel good enough deep down, or maybe he feels like he can’t change and he’ll just end up hurting you. Or B: he was letting you off easy and not hurting your feelings - “it’s not you it’s me”

He’s just telling you that he can’t give you what you want because it’s something he thinks would lighten the blow but definitely don’t give him your time anymore

In my experience guys usually say this when they want to stay single and keep options open

he doesn’t feel like he’s in the best place in his life rn. now if that doesn’t matter to you then say it but yeah that’s my interpretation
