I told a friend I like him and I wonder what does it mean, if he says "I do not have a crush, I do not know you well enough for that. But I want to stay friends and get to know you better if you still want to be friends." ?

Means exactly what he says.

He doesn't like you, but he's interested and open to getting to know you.

Don't overthink.

I'm not a man so I may be off base but it seems like he's saying he's not really interested in dating you but he likes you well enough to be friends with you. I think by telling you he didn't have a crush on you he was letting you know nicely that it wasn't going to happen. Maybe I'm wrong. I'd move on though.

Either he is not that into you, or he is guarding his heart. It really could be either. Maybe he is one of those guys who can develop feelings slowly.

I for one take quite a bit of time to develop feelings for someone. And when they develop, they develop deeply. At the same time, I had my heart broken, so I often find myself resisting the fall.

Sounds to me like he's saying he wasn't gunning for you but is open to the possibility and is willing to see what happens

Typical guy...if he'd noticed you because of an attraction then he'd have likely taken action by now. Since he hasn't noticed you, for whatever reason, he SAYS he's willing to get to know you but be prepared for a lukewarm reception because it wasn't HIS idea so he discounts it.

Thank you for your responses!

In any case I should move on I guess, not to brake my heart. If we will remain good friends, I am happy. If he will get some feelings later, that is another case (that I have to keep myself not waiting to be happening).

As other users have said I think he means exactly what it says on the tin. That he is indeed interested in pursuing a relationship with you - but not a romantic or sexual one.

Uhh, I wouldn't wait around.

Anyone that flat out says they don't have a crush on you is telling you point plank he is not attracted to you.
