About that guy he doesn't seem to be serious from what you said. Now, you mentioned something, which is your vulnerability and fear of rejection and brokenhearted. So I will leave you with this YouTube video to Dr. Brene Brown and I hope it will give you some insights how accepting our vulnerability is the only way to love.

Heh, thanks. I am pretty awesome in the non-dating realm and even in the dating realm, on paper (i.e. in a profile and in the first few messages), I'm still alright. It's just when I have to trust someone that all hell breaks loose.
It's kind of like when your mom tells you, "They tease you because they like you," or "Ignore them and they'll go away," and you're like...no mom, it is not that simple.
I think he wants something serious with someone at some point; he's had three very long-term relationships. I just think (and he's said) he's still healing from some recent things--there was a lot of loss all within a year including his mother, and then the demise of an engagement. I think this was probably less than 3-4 years ago. I think the timing is bad, and while we'd be good friends (might still be, idk), I think I'd probably be the worst thing for him right now as a girlfriend.
