Just a month and a half into the "relationship"... I'd say it's not time to get too involved in what it is at this point. It's just dating! I would be spending more of this time still getting to know one another, but not so much on trying to nail down what it is.
He might be feeling that you are wanting something more (already) and so he is trying to back off and slow down. Doesn't mean he doesn't like you... just that he's not wanting to rush right into a big-time relationship this quickly. But if he's already stated that he wanted to just be friends, it might be his way of trying to let you down easily (thought it's not letting your down HONESTLY, if he isn't wanting to date any further).
What are your expectations or time lines for your dating? Meet and married at one year? Meet and marry by 3 yrs? Meet and have fun... and see where it leads? It just might be that he is thinking you are wanting more than he can give or wants to give
I would assume that if he is just wanting to be friends and he is not asking you out anymore and he is turning you down for his offers that he is not really interested in pursuing anything more. Don't take it personally - just move on to the next one. Dating is like that. Sorry for that!
I agree with the other ladies..let it go. If he calls later personally, I'd tell him I would need to check my schedule. As for filing him under "Friends", I have a file called "Acquaintances" and I would file this guy under that.

Hi Addy,
Just file this one under "Friend"
