<human>: I have been talking to a guy that I go to college with for about a month now, and we have truly bonded and gotten to know each other well quickly in that time. He's been my confidante and vice versa for essentially every instance of emotional turmoil once we met, and although nothing was ever confirmed, it was obvious that our view of each other was much more than friends. We became an important part of each other's lives and we spent most of the day corresponding somehow, be it in person or through text. 

Around two weeks ago, out of the blue, he told me that he had romantic feelings for me, but that he was afraid of commitment and relationships. He said that he didn't want to stop talking entirely though, and asked for a little time to think things through before making a permanent decision on the matter. We agreed to cut off communication for a couple days until the weekend, just to have the space to sort out our own thoughts on the matter. This upset me a bit, but I understood and agreed to leave him to his thoughts for the time being. 

However, his grandfather died the next day, and I broke the agreement to comfort him as I have always been accustomed to. We spoke briefly about how he was feeling, and I checked up on him again twice the next week, being careful not to overstep my boundaries and to keep the conversation strictly platonic.

Selfishly, I've broken down often in the past two weeks, feeling overwhelmed by his emotional stress as well as my own unresolved stress about the nature of our potential relationship. He's been shutting everyone out, not just me. I realize that he has much more important things to worry about than a girl, but I'm just not sure what else I can do at this point. Should I just continue contacting him once or twice a week while he grieves? I truly do care about him and his emotions, but I'm not sure how to tell if I'm being more of a burden to him than a source of support.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: The guy that I'm interested in recently lost his grandfather, and I'm not sure if I'm being overbearing or helpful, and my lingering thoughts about the nature of our relationship are detrimental to my ability to support him.
