What would you do....kinda long

So I have been friends with a guy for 6 years. We have never dated. We have talked about it, but it never worked out, something always happened. Well about 7-8 monthes ago him and his gf at the time had broken up and we started getting real close. Then they got back together cause she was pregnant. Well that lasted about 4 monthes, she had a miscarriage, there relationship just kinda went down the drain. So for the past 2 monthes, me and him have been hanging out alot. He stays at my house alot, he comes and hangs out with me, he goes to my son's ball games and school functions, blah, blah, blah. Well last night we almost had sex but we stopped cause we didn't have condoms. Well this morning he told me he doesn't know what/ who he wants. I ask him if he still wanted to be with her, he said yeah and no. Then I ask what he was doing with me, he said that he was afraid of being hurt again. Now I really dont know what to do. I've wanted him for years, but I don't know how to handle this. Do I wait and see what happens? or do I just walk away now and tell him that we can't be more than friends?

I really really need opinions on this one.

hey gal!!! i think that u should stay being friends with him and tell him how u feel. tell him that u really like him and have for years and make sure he knows that his heart is safe in ur hands. i mean have u ever hurt him over all the years u have known him. he knows he can trust u hes just scared of gettin hurt agen. i think he needs time to get over his ex, so i dont recommmend u two rushing into anything know whilst hes still confused. but overall i think that u need to tell him honestly how u feel about him! there is obviously a spark between u two or else u wouldnt be friends and the other night incident wouldnt have occurd either. i hope this helps. i think its time u where truley honest with urself and him! let me know what happens
take care hun

Ive never hurt him. Im always the one he runs to when someone else does. And I have told him how I feel, he knows and I think it terrifies him. I told him I wasn't going to push him into anything, I just want to know where I fit in in his life. I told him today I would never hurt him and Im not all those other girls, Im me but that I could only be there if he'd let me. So I dont really know whats going on. Thank you for the advice. I guess my only choice is to wait it out, but the more we hang out the harder it is to face the fact we might not ever be together.
