yes I have. We are working on it together but I felt like this was a good place to come to for additional support/advice since there are..umm...more mature people on here who have more expereicne than me. 
My advice is to keep on doing what you're doing; discuss it at times when the timing is right (so it doesn't seem like an instigation or an attack), talk about how to hone things, and just be consistent in your day to day interactions.

Actually, his bluntness may be a good thing. It's better to be honest than to live in a Disney Candyland. Rather than dislike his bluntness, I would encourage you to emulate it.
Like my father always says, "sugar coated speech can only ever bring dysfunction. If you want a real relationship, you have to get down to the nitty, gritty, and brass tax in how you talk."
Honestly, I would actually advise you to encourage him in his wonderful talent (for honesty) and try to copy it as closely as possible. Heaven knows, we probably need some more honest people like him in the world.
After all, a straightforward man is better than a liar. And someone who chooses not to be blunt is no better (if not worse), than a liar to themselves...
I'd stick with this guy. He sounds like God's type...

I have several Hispanic friends, and they don't seem to regard very many things as off limits for conversation.
They are not rude but they are outspoken and direct.
If you consider this relationship as having potential to become more intimate; you would do well to try to be more open and direct yourself.
If this is likely to remain a casual friendship; it may not be worth that effort.
PTSD can cause significant disruptions to the social life of those who suffer from it. I know that it is very debilitating and that nobody chooses to live with it.
I believe that the LORD is able, and willing to help you overcome your PTSD. IF you sincerely ask His help, and believe that He can and will help you; I believe you will see either sudden or gradual changes in the way your PTSD effects you.
The Lord is able to make PTSD go away; but may choose to help you cope with it better.
