Based on these statements, here's what I think it means. He likes you BUT not enough to date you. He said it twice. Once to you in person and again to your friend. Take the hint.
When he says "didn't want to hurt me" to your friend it means he doesn't know how else to let you down easy. Valkyrie is right he could have easily lead you on but he's actually being honest and respectful of you. That's a rarity these days.
If you can't be friends with him right now because your feelings are too strong for him then tell him so. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, some people can't switch gears that fast. It happens sometimes. Cool off and move on. You're still leaving the door open for continuing the friendship at a later time.
