Is there a chance for us? Or is it over?

I've been dating this guy since June, and over the last month we have gotten very very couply. We started in a space of course where we both could date others, though he never did that, and I did, which he know. So over the last month, he's been very openly with me...arms around me in public with little kisses, seeing me 3-6 days a week, chatting and texting every day, came over and met my parents for a few hours when I mentioned they were over, hanging with me and my sister, went away for a weekend together, etc etc. I started feeling guilty about a month ago about going out with anyone else so I stopped, though we didn't have the exclusivity discussion. Then now, after all of that, he now says that he feels we are getting more serious, and that before getting into another relationship, that he wants to make sure he's doing it for the right reasons and not just because it's easy. I'm the only girl he's seen since his last breakup,when he dated a girl for 2 years. I totally get that actually and agree that he needs to do that, however, he also wants to date me at the same time. I've decided that I can't do that...I think that's a recipe for disaster, at this stage to know that we are dating other people. We can't really go backwards now to just being casual daters again as far as I'm concerned, nor is that what I want. Thoughts? Think there's a chance we will continue? Think it's just over? Since, he has posted pics of us from a recent function to FB and I have both talked and texted with him a few times. I've stopped that since I really don't think staying in touch right now is healthy. I know for me, I'll always be wondering if he's out with someone else when he's not around.
