<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Hey guys, in case you dig through my post history, the update is that I found out the M28 I wanted to be in a relationship with - who admitted to having feelings for me - told me last week that he is not looking to date for a while, due to abusive relationships in his past (I do not think he is lying to get away from me, btw!).

So we ended it. 

I still care about him, however, and was wondering if there is any hope? Should I be there for him as a friend once a few months have gone by? Should I just stop speaking to him forever (we're NC right now)?
<bot>: Broke it off with kinda BF because he can't handle a relationship right now. Should I even bother holding out hope / trying to stay in his life?
