“not ready for a relationship”?

txgirl432
Last night my guy came over to talk and tells me how he’s got so many problems, he’s so stressed out and wishes he could disappear at times.. and he does. we stood there hugging and talking- me being positive, patient and understanding. And then he tells me how he wishes he had met me sooner. I asked to elaborate, and he tells me he doesn't know how to put it into words but I’m everything he’s wanted but he’s not ready for a relationship. He was living with a woman before me for 8+ years, he lied to me about being broken up with her for a year (it had been 3 months when he met me) and we’ve been “official” for a month. I know guys mean what they say, I’m not in denial. I told him I would leave him alone for a couple of days to think things through, and then we can talk if he wants. I don’t want to force him and I am not trying to change his mind, however, I’ve caught feelings and i would love to make things work out. What would be the best way to go about this?
