Have you explained it to him? If you did, then he should understand. I'm gonna give you advice based on what I would do.
I would like to get to know him more as friends, and tell him that eventually we could be more, but for now I am still hung up on my ex and I need more time to move on. And getting to know him more in a could-be relationship stand point would give you a chance to see if he really loves you or not.
Sometimes people like to guilt-trip people back into relationships even if you don't want to be in one right at that point. It's happened to me before, and it sucks.
I hope this helps!
