Undecided Question

Should i give him a chance?

I met a guy a few weeks ago. He tells me that he fell in love with me the first time he saw me and that I'm all he's thinking about since then. Until now I told him I just want to be his friend so I can get to know him first. We spent a lot of time together talking etc. and now he wants me to decide whether I want to date him or not.
I don't feel in love with him right now and other factors makes this decision hard, such as the fact that he's black and I'm white and that my parents will resent me for not caring about that. I don't really care about his skin but I also don't feel totally connected with him. Plus I'm still heartbroken over another guy i dated.
But I know he cares about me, and I'm scared that if I don't give him a chance i'll regret it someday. But then again, I don't feel like getting hurt all over again.

I'm not talking about becoming his girlfriend, just dating him…
What do u think? Should I give him a chance? thanks for reading anyway
