<human>: Tonight the guy [M/25] I've been dating for two months told me he doesn't like me like I[F/22] like him. He said that in the beginning, it was different, and he was definitely interested in me romantically. But after a month, he slowly started feeling different until a week ago when he decided that he wanted us to be friends, cause he really likes being with me, just not romantically.

Needless to say I was really hurt, and I wanted an explanation because we've never had a bad time together. Our dates have always lasted around 6 hours, and usually just consist of us talking and hanging out, or maybe playing sports. And we always have a good time. 

Part of me thinks it's just because of bad timing. He got out of a bad two year relationship about 6 months ago, and his grandma, who he loved like his mom, died 4 months ago, and he watched her die and took care of her for 8 months prior to her death. He told me that since her death, he's had trouble connecting emotionally, and has had erectile dysfunction, which sounds to me like depression.

Also, I'm leaving town for nine months in a little over a week to finish university. He started getting distant after I brought up the possibility of a long distance relationship a month ago.

Given all of the above, I'm tempted to say we could be great together, but he's not at a point in his life where he could deal with a long distance relationship, and that since he's suffered so much emotional trauma in the past 6 months, he's closed himself off to new relationships and feelings.

But on the other hand, maybe there's just something about me which makes him think of me as more "good friend" material, than girlfriend material. Cause he told me, if it's not too painful for me, he hopes will become tight again.

Thoughts?

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: He [M/25] says he likes being with me[F/22], and wants us to remain close friends, but doesn't want to be in a relationship.
