lines from friends(sitcom) Ross: Oh. Listen, do you think- and try not to let my intense vulnerability become any kind of a factor here- but do you think it would be ok if I asked you out? Sometime? Maybe? Rachel: Yeah, maybe... Ross: Ok... ok, maybe I will... what does it mean that " try not to let my intense vulnerability become any kind of a factor here"? and Can I use this sentence? If so, in which situation?

It's very specific, so I doubt you can use it. He is saying he is 'vulnerable' - i.e. that he can get emotionally hurt or upset easily. Intensely vulnerable means he has a particularly strong reaction. 'don't let something be a factor' here means 'don't let something influence your decision, or judgement'. And the implication is that since he is vulnerable, a rejection might really hurt him. So, he is asking her not to worry about hurting his feelings, when she thinks about her reply to him asking her out. So - unless you are 'intensely vulnerable', then a direct use of it probably isn't useful. You could possibly modify it - you might get an interesting reaction if you said 'try not to let my intense violence become any kind of a factor here...'
