What does it mean when a guy says he doesnt want you to "walk outta his life"?

My friend tasha began dating this guy and fell in love and they guy said he was falling for her as well. Well be broke up with her a week ago and said that he had “alot of things to work out, but once he does its him and her” He says his feelings for her havent changed and that he doesnt want her to “walk out of his life”. Is that a way of him trying to lead her on? Or is he sincere? Or does it all depend. I dont know what to tell her because my heart says hes being sincere but my head is screaming GAME. Help please?
