I was once or twice in a similar situation. I made a better decision the second time. Its rough when it seems like you only have one choice - this or loneliness. But if you had a choice between this and something or someone you REALLY wanted, would you settle for this guy? If the answer is no, then dont waste your precious time with this guy.

Growing up the way we did, our parents convinced us that what we wanted didnt matter, we werent going to get it, and we better be grateful for what we get, and my mother actually told me, afterwards you force or trick him into giving you what you want. I guess i wasnt cute enough to force anybody.

Slow down and look around for what you really want. Not something fancy - but somebody who believes in you, who treasures you, who sees the good and strength in you.
