What is an appropriate response to someone saying "merci" in French?

When someone says “merci” we says

We say "De rien" (It’s nothing) in casual responses.

We say “Je vous en prie" (You’re welcome) in formal responses

Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?

We say “Il n’y a pas de quoi" (Don’t mention it) in casual responses.

We say “Pas de problème” (No problem) in casual responses.

We say "Avec plaisir" (With pleasure) in formal responses

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?
