Told a guy I liked him but he said he wasn’t emotionally open

What does that mean. That you don’t like someone but don’t want to say “I don’t feel the same way”.

To put it in context I was seeing a guy but he wasn’t giving me time or effort, so I just said “I like you but I know you feel the same way so I don’t think we should see each other as I want a relationship”. In retrospect I shouldn’t have said “I know” but he replied 24 hours later saying I was great but he wasn’t emotionally open for a relationship .

Thoughts?

He’s just not that into you.

Don't waste any more time. This stage should be effortless

It means he definitely doesn't want a relationship with you.
He might well not want a relationship with anyone.
I wouldn't try to find some hidden meaning.

You can do better. Time to move on.

He just wants a shag.

he's a pretentious prick ..

He's an absolute dick. Next!

He wants sex only. If he said he wasn't into you then you might bin him off completely, but this way he might still get to have sex with you and not have to commit.

@Ruraldream has nailed it 😂

Definitely doesn't want a relationship

Probably open for a shag

But as he is enough of a cock to use the term "emotionally open" I'd chuck him in the bin.

Next.
