Man really cares for a girl, but doesn't want to stick around forever for her; but would date her in the drop of a hat if she so decided. On one hand, he is afraid of losing her, but on the other hand, he knows he has to live his life and not let her detract from it.
Oh yeah, and my interpretation:
