It's the same thing that anyone means when making excuses not to do something; they don't want to hurt your feelings by saying that they just don't want to hang out with you. This type of response from a guy should always be taken as a sign that he isn't interested in you and you should just forget about him.

It may mean exactly what he has said -- that's he's confused and needs time to think. True, he may be struggling with whether you are a good match, but he may be struggling with something entirely different, even unrelated. His friends may be pressuring him to be single or his mother to get married.

They prefer having a smaller circle of friends, and they do not mind spending time alone, being with themselves. ... Loners are very self-aware, and perhaps this is the main reason they prefer to be alone.

It means he wants you next to him. He wants to hold you, cuddle with you, and essentially love you. It's the feeling of filling that void, that is you not being there with him and him missing you.

He's happy spending time with you. This has a double meaning: It means he wants to spend time with you, but it also means he's happy while he's spending time with you. ... If he wants to spend time with you and tells you how happy he is when he's around you, that's a sign he's falling hard.

If he's making excuses as to why he can't be in a relationship, it really means that he's not interested in being in a relationship with you. That might sound blunt, but if I gave you sweet sounding lies you would be stuck in the same situation weeks, months, or years from now.

It means one of two things: He's pretending to "have no game" i.e to be a bumbler or socially awkward, to disarm a woman before running a game on her, or.

When a guy says he needs to find himself, he's not being very honest with you. He's actually using one of the typical breakup excuses rational guys use in order to ensure a guilt-free breakup for themselves. I say guilt-free because an ex using this excuse hates making you cry and seeing you hurt.
