Not knowing what to do...so I'm asking Dr.SW for advice

Someone I met in dating arena- we had nice conversations and blah blah. well he shared his past which was so bad, i felt compassion for him but then i felt like maybe he has too many "issues" which is really silly because i have issues too, so how can i judge him? (sorry for run on sentence). so i ran away from him, and told him it wouldn't work out. tonight he posted something really romantic to me in front of his friends and family and i wonder if i have made the right decision?

Do you think I should give him another chance? I just don't want to hurt him, since he has been hurt so much in his past.
