What does the man text he does not want to lead me on mean?

It means that she doesn't want a relationship with you.. If you guys are friends, she probably doesn't want to ruin the friendship you two have.

Trust me on this one- don't pine over someone who doesn't want you. It's never worth it. There's someone out there who is perfect for you *Basically that she accepts that you like her but she doesn't like you back. She feels bad about it but doesn't think it would be fair on either of you to go out. Also take the advice of everyone else. I'm a girl. I would know ;p
