When one guy asks another why doesnt he ask the girl out all ready, and the other guy responds with: "I like her but, i have commitment issues"?

My guy friend found out that i like another guy (their considered to be “ok” friends). So of course my friend took the liberty of bugging my crush in the locker room about it, and now, he texts me and flirts with me at school, but i don’t see it goin anywhere. What exactly did he mean by “commitment issues”...Should I just forget him?
