Yea, that doesn't neccessarily mean that he doesn't want to hang out with you. I would have said that he's just not that into you as you thought, BUT you talked on the phone with him alot, and that's usually a big sign that he does like you. It seems that you might be the kind of woman that can easily start arguments and frustrations in a relationship just because of your partner's play on words. Allow him to be a little bit more vague. When he said 'maybe' he might have had something already planned but wasn't sure if it was going to turn-out right. Don't judge so quickly.

And just because he said 'everyone' doesn't mean that you should get all riled up over it. He's a man. He has friends. Associates. You two aren't 'married' yet, give him room to breathe. If you sufficate him, that's a big turn-off. I know from personal experience.
