Thank you for the responses.
I know that he recently ended a relationship (like the same week I met him)...not due to me but he was ending it before he met me. So I'm sure maybe the timing of us meeting was not the best. He said that he does not want to push me away that he just needs to go slow. That he usually doesn't go from one relationship to another but that he likes me.
I'm just trying to take it at his speed for the time being and see where things go...wish me luck!
