Friends with benefits to something more

So couple months ago i got my heart broken by a guy who i loves and it was weird Bc we didn’t even date. But we had a strong connection and he met family members and when we’re together it just felt right even when we fought. However, he basically broke up with me (weird i know cUz we never dated) but anyways i started to hang with a new boy and we started to have a lot of sex and we became friends with benefits (which is what i wanted) but anyways last week he told me he wants more and wants to be something beside friends but the thing is I’m hesitant Bc he has a lot of personal shit going on that i don’t know it i can handle.
