Taking it slow?

Well, my first thought for you to consider, is let him talk. Let him talk first and see what he has decided to do. This way you get a general idea of what he's thinking, and not just a bounce off of what you're thinking so he'll make you happy. Ask him what he thinks, and if it's close to what you think, then you should bring it up then. Tell him your thoughts, then make an intelligent selection of agreements that will work towards a relationship that is comfortable to you and him that will still respect both of your values.

If what he says doesn't come close. . . It's time for a rude awakening for both of you then. Stand up for what you think regardless. Let him know your boundaries, and DON'T WAIVER.

Too often in decisions like these, people go in without a clue, then for fear of messing things up, they just agree with the other side. Don't! Make up your mind about things now, prepare to compromise on little things if you must, but make all your decisions pretty solid.

When you come to him, you'll be prepared, and the relationship can go in a direction you like, or you'll know to get rid of something harmful to you. Either way, be prepared!

God Bless!
