I don't think he's messing around with her. The two of them have developed a relationship, a deep bond, much deeper than in the books. Besides, look at what he's saying. "I have wished you joy ever since I first saw you." A line transplanted from the feast in the ROTK book. I think it certainly implies his pity for her, which is present in the book as well; she rejects Faramir at first because she thinks he's merely pitying her as well.
It doesn't get much clearer than "I cannot give you what you seek."
