If this guy Steve had come here for advice, the vast majority of it would lean towards him working on himself before building up a romantic relationship. He's not in a place where the extra work that comes with it is going to help in my opinion.
It is entirely up to you whether you want to keep in contact with Steve or not, but it is not in your best interest to have a relationship beyond that of friends as things currently are.
