Could I be his back up option?

I joined a dating site a month ago and got chatting with a guy. a couple of week ago he told me he had decided to see how it would go with someone he had already met so he was honest and didnt want to string me along. He said hes still on the site as he wants to be friends with me and i asked doesnt this woman mind , he said if she has any issues he is happy to show the messages he has , i dont mind this as we are just friends ( we never got to meet and just keep it polite and casual like friends do ) i am looking at other guys and seeing who else is out there ,but he has kept his profile public . Maybe he wasnt interested in me and didnt want to hurt my feelings so made up this other woman up. I know he is most likely giving it a few week with this woman and if it goes great he will leave the site but do i sound like a back up option for this guy ? i cant think of any other reason to why he is still on the site and wanting to keep me in his life even just as friends
