giving up?
Generally, when a guy says that he "doesn't date anymore" or is "putting off dating for a while", if he meets a girl that he likes, will he go for it or not?
He said that the reason for that is his last girlfriend screwed him over big time and most girls that live around here think they have to spread their legs to get attention and he isn't into that. He's 17
I'd prefer a guy's opinion.

He means it. Women are a big pain in the ass. Period. His last girlfriend probably did screw him over big time and he's tired of girl's bullshit. And yeah he's into it when girls spread their legs. All straight guys are. But yeah, why not? Ask him out.

It means he's putting up a pretty high barrier to dating, at least for the moment. Or, to be honest, it could mean that he just didn't want to date you and is trying to be nice about it.
If it's the first meaning, then he's being uncommonly decent. And it's certainly possible that he'll come around; at 17, that wouldn't be surprising. Male hormones at 17 are amazingly powerful. If you give him time, as little pressure as possible, and show him that he can trust you, that should certainly increase the chance that he'll feel able to date you - if he wants to.
I will say that in my experience a guy who has been really badly burned by a bad relationship can take many years before he gets over it and trusts women again. And he may NEVER be able to trust completely.
With marriage, it's even worse.
Good luck!
