<human>: I met this guy last week, so this is a seriously new relationship. I was actually planning on crashing on his couch for a couple weeks because I'm in a new town and still saving up for an apartment. Didn't expect an attraction to develop, but it did. We are really into one another and it has all happened so quickly.

I worry though that he's not ready to date. He was with his last girlfriend for over 4 years, and after knowing me for a couple days started to freak out that we were moving too fast. 

I am willing to give him all the space he needs, but I'm worried that I'm just screwing myself over emotionally if I wait around for him to be ready. Last night after we hooked up, he left the room and insisted on sleeping on the livingroom couch. I heard him crying. It felt so terrible and I had no idea what to do. I wanted to comfort him but was trying to respect the signals that he needed space. It was very confusing and uncomfortable.

Any advice, guys?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I just met a man, and things are moving too fast, and he's freaking out because he's basically a widower.
