That's something I understand really good, it doesn't sound stupid.
I don't know the exact situation but (in general) it seems that having someone around you all the time is something you can't stand. Now you say that "I am not at all ready for being so close to someone". In combination with the fact that you need time for yourself just think about a possible future. If you let him even closer, he may want even more of you time.
Just my suggestion. But think about it. I made the mistake once that a person came into my life too fast and I regret it. This has to take time to develop, otherwise - especially in your case - it may cause serious problems.
EDIT: I hope I didn't come too close (to your feelings or personality). Just trying to give one or 2 points to think about.
