A man sent email and started fun conversations, and finally made a woman fall for him. Then suddenly, pop up and said "I am not ready, it's too fast". Why a man bother to start something if he felt not ready for the consequences?

Sadly I feel some are not mature enough to be able to have an online relationship. The starting to have feelings for someone so far away brings on a lot of fear. The we are so far apart aspect. The planning to meet stage can be quite a long process and seem to be like one is on a road heading no where slowly. It really does take a special person to be able to go thru this process. Then you have the ones who don't know what they want. Or the ones who are players. They like the chase. And on and on and on..... Sometimes if someone says something like that you can slow down. And just except that some are not ready for the next step. After all we seem to move at different paces in life. And if that is not what he wants then just move on. He is not the one. Best wishes on your journey in life.

Is it possible you and he have different intentions right now?
Perhaps he wants "light and flirty" right now.
And this is the "dance" that we all navigate through this maze of dating, seeking. We all aren't at the same place at the same time, a "fit" is a rare thing to find, and our hearts suffer when the other doesn't reciprocate. But we hurt, learn, get up, and try again. It will happen again and again, and we will grow wiser and more self-aware in the process, and then, maybe one day, you will see that all of the men before were stepping stones to the One that has been searching for you as much as you've been searching for him.

Maybe he's struggling with what he wants like a lot of people are. The intention is there but the strength to move forward is a challenge. There's so many reasons why people will take one step forward and two steps back. He's obviously not ready, so move on to someone who has torn down their walls and will make the effort to take it to the next level.

Why move on?
If, as you say, the intention is there, should she not stick with him and make him realise that 2 steps forward and one back is so much better than the reverse?

I assumed the OP hit a dead end with him and she already took the steps she felt comfortable taking. Maybe we need more input from the OP on this.
