When a guy says he respects you, likes you a lot, and is attracted to you, BUT he cannot be in a relationship?

He says he is afraid that he cannot be faithful and does not want to hurt me, he wants to be with me physically and it's hard to be around me because it's difficult to control himself. He has been respectful and says he respects me and knows I'm not like other girls.

We communicate every day, see each other a couple of times a week, have done nothing more than kiss because I will not go any further unless I'm in some sort of a relationship. He literally cried because he has never liked someone this much before and said it is too difficult to be around me and control himself. he was in a bad relationship before where the girl tried to control every minute of his life and turned psycho, and he said he cheated on her and is afraid that he would cheat on me and hurt me. I don't understand if he is just trying to hook up with me, is afraid of how he feels, or is just an ass who just wants the single life.

He is a very nice guy and the problem is that I have feelings for him now, I am committing too much time and effort into him, and I'm not sure if I should bother because I really do want a relationship.
