[Need help from guys] What does it mean when a guy says ';Let's focus on being friends for now';?

I was talking with my guy friend the topic of us going out came up today. It wasn't awkward or anything, but he said: ';Let's focus on being friends for now.'; What did he mean by ';for now';? Does it mean he wants to be ';just friends'; but doesn't want to say it too directly, or does it mean he's not ready for a relationship or he's hot sure how he feels at the moment?[Need help from guys] What does it mean when a guy says ';Let's focus on being friends for now';?
Ususally means you're ugly/unnatractive/hideous or the like. Dont get me wrong tho, you could be the one exception to this rule i guess... [Need help from guys] What does it mean when a guy says ';Let's focus on being friends for now';?
Depending on your age, I would have to start by saying that if young, then maybe he has his sights on someone else and doesn't want to show it to you (and still keep his lines open with you).





If he is older and you have been friends a long time then maybe he is reflecting on the past and doesn't want to ruin something that he has with you and didn't want to say it directly.





If neither is the answer you are seeking, then I would have to say, just ask him directly and then you will know from the source. right?
Perhaps you should go ask him, it wasn't awkward for you to ask him you guys going out, it shouldn't be awkward for you to ask him why he said that. What I think is that he is not ready to develop a relationship.
The real meaning: He does not like you more than a friend


meaning he likes you as a friend, ';just a friend'; but he does not like you more than that

He probably doesn't want to rush into a relationship w/you and ruin your friendship, so he just wants to let it happen if it happens and if not, it doesn't.
Let's focus on getting to know each other more now.
OUCH!





hunni, means he doesnt like you. He told you he just wants to be friends to let you down slowly.
Hate to say it but most of the answers are right.


Let's not worry... there is someone belongs to someone.


Yours will come before you know it.


Cheers!
There might be someone els.
this means your ugly
