First off, is this guy out of his mind?
Second of all, love is complicated and full of feelings that get tangled up in a false reality we construct in our minds. Love is that thing that is created and becomes, not the thing we expect or imagine and idealize and cling to. There is so much suffering with that attachment, because the final picture often does not look like the thing we dreamt it up to be.
This guy sounds great; like a good, beautiful person that is storing a lot of hurt and insecurity. Let him walk that path. Be there in the way that you can, but do not let it obstruct you from yours. You have work to do on this earth, keep doing it.
Play small for no one. Let no one distract you from your life's purpose; you will feel it when you find it, or when it finds you. Feel no shame in giving yourself to love and being so honestly vulnerable in it that you risk shattering your own heart. Also, reject the idea that it shatters. Your heart is a fierce, ancient thing that has suffered bigger blows than this and will continue to face them. Have faith, sweet sister. This path is full of challenges.
Meet yourself where you are at. One day you might be ready, it is okay if today, you are not. There are other things to be overcome. Slowly everything is created. This person you are becoming, you will keep growing into her. She is already there, already speaking to you. But do know she will wait for you as long as you need, and that she is beyond fear, beyond reason, beyond the rational. She is in your best interest. She will guide you if you listen (so, listen.)
There are people on your path who are sent to protect you. It is your job to decipher between the ones projecting their own fears and the ones who will offer you guidance that you need to hear. Tell them you love them often. Remember that you are worthy of their love.
Be gentle and patient with yourself. Slowly everything is created. Creation lasts forever.
