I think this guys is trying to in a nice way move away from your friendship. Honestly would you really want to hear "I don't want to be your friend anymore"? In social situations there are nuances that you have read between the lines. If we all said what we really think we'd all hear a lot of things that do nothing more than hurt and don't serve any purpose.
I once had a friend I simply tried to create space with. I didn't invite her to one event and she started calling, IM'ing, emailing me constantly. I finally had to ask her not to be my friend anymore. It was a sad situation. If she had simply accepted I didn't want to see her one night we'd probably still be friends.
