Advice on friendship/relationship

So I met this guy on a app. He was looking for a girlfriend so I messaged him. We started talking as friends for like weeks, all was going good until he realized he wasn’t over his ex. He realized this days ago and told me about it. He realized I was becoming dependent on him too and didn’t want to hurt me more if he hid it. The moment he realized he wasn’t over her was because he went up to talk to her to ask her for the passcode of his phone, he got it disabled somehow and didn’t remember his passcode because she was the one that changed it. So he says he still wants whatever we had but doesn’t at the same time because he doesn’t want to hurt me more...if there’s not really a high chance for us making it to the next level..a relationship. He said he can’t give him self completely because he still has feelings for her...that if we keep going what we had and he has feelings for her still..that there’s a minimum chance of us being in a relationship. They’ve been broken up for 5 months now. We also knew we weren’t going to date for sometime...we wanted to get to know each other more first and see if we were good with each other. He also knows that it’s selfish of him to want me to stay and fight and see what happens when there’s not a 100% chance of us not working out because of his feelings for her. He also said he’s not emotionally available..that’s understandable. I want to keep trying but then I don’t because of the possibility of getting more hurt. What should I do ?
