do you get it?

so, he's sending all the right signals, but he says he doesn't want to go further. i don't get it. i mean, on the one hand he obviously likes me. and in the email he sent me to explain that it wasn't a good idea for us to move on to another type of relationship, he also said he really liked me and really wouldn't mind spending more time with me than he already did. does anyone get it? cos i certainly don't. and no, he's really not gay.
