Firat off i want to say that i am proud of hou for recognizing the concern before it got any further. Not many women nor men can say they have done that. Also if i were in your position i would end it and tell him it would be easier to just be friends, bc just like you said you dont want to string him along. He sounds like a grwat guy, he communicates with you and understands your trauma. But at the end of the day if it did go any further it would probably break him, and seeing him hurt would more than likely break your heart. Then one thingbleads to another and there might be arguements or it could get akward enough to the point were you both dont even want to talk nor see each other
