I think that, if he has specifically mentioned his girlfriend, then that might be because he senses that you have a crush on him, and wants to make it clear that he isn't available.
Of course, things may change.
If you are only 17, and he is your teacher, then it might still possibly be frowned upon ~ I don't know.
I think that you may be right to try to be just friendly ~ for now, at least.
