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

I recently met a guy (I'm 30, he's 33) who is recently divorced. I was his first date after their 10 year relationship. He expected to get back out into the dating world and see what was out there....and then we met. For lack of a better word, it was kizmit. I knew from that first date that I had felt something I had never felt before (and I was almost married at one point). 

For the next two weeks, we spent a good amount of time together and we talked about the future and just how both of us had never had such a strong connection with anyone. There was always a part of him that worried that maybe he should see other people, but he just couldn't imagine dating anyone other than me. Of course, I also worried that would happen but our connection was just so amazing. 

Needless to say, one day before one of our dates, he told me that he had been thinking a lot and was so scared of hurting me down the road that he felt like he needed to see what was out there. He thought I was perfect, but just felt like settling down right away was the wrong decision. I was devastated. I'm not angry with him because I can't really blame him for feeling this way. I guess it's just hard for me to comprehend because of how strongly I felt and even a week later, I can't imagine dating anyone else.

I know it will pass and time will heal everything. If its meant to be, it will be. I don't want to hold out hope that he'll realize later on the mistake he made because I need to move on and let this go. I'm just having a VERY difficult time with it. I feel like maybe everything I felt (we felt) wasn't real and that is the hardest part. How could he feel that way and just leave?

I guess I'm just looking for other divorcees who have maybe gone through this or other people like me who have had this happen to them. Just curious as to what the outcome was or any further insight would be extremely helpful. 

Much appreciated!
<bot>: Got dumped by a recent divorcee who wasn't ready to settle down. Anyone else with the same experience? Insight please.
