Need advice/opinions

Okay, ladies... there’s this guy I’ve known for prolly 5 years or so. We started to hangout and things took off from there. He lives about 2 hours away at the moment, so we would see each other on weekends. We liked each other a lot, got along so well, and had the best time together. We were never official, but a couple months into “dating/talking” he got scared about starting over with someone new and got back w his ex shortly after. We’ve been texting again on and off for awhile now. He has told me many times that he’s sorry for how things ended with us and he knows he made a big mistake. He asked for the chance to hangout and see where things go. There’s still some feelings there, but I’m scared to put myself out there again. What do you all think I should do??
