You should share your thoughts with him...tell him what you think he's afraid of and get a dialogue going. He may not talk about it, but at least you tried. I did that with SR- 71, telling him what *I* thought his reasons were for breaking up (fear). It really didn't do any good, but I feel better for having expressed it. And now we're the absolute best of friends.
Good luck. Maybe if you talk to him about it, you can reassure him and he will be willing to make a go of it. And tell him that as long as you are both honest and open with each other and act like adults, there is no reason you couldn't remain friendly and even recapture the friendship in time. He's right about the possibility of ruining the friendship if you go for more. But, if you have a solid friendship and you make it a priority to protect that, then it's possible to maintain it, even if a love affair doesn't work out.
