No, he's afraid of dating other people because he would lose the sex, intimacy, etc. with me. He's hesitant to date me because he'd have to pull back/redefine his friendships with a couple of his FF's. (They are genuinely currently non-romantic, but after the last few years, his own A, etc., he recognizes the potential for trouble there.)
Is that more clear??
BTW, I realize a lot of this is just him sort of 'dumping out' random thoughts that come across his brain...I don't really believe he gives them all equal weight ...it's just interesting for me to review it all.
