What does it mean when a guy breaks it off with you using the "it's moving too fast" excuse?

I was seeing this guy for about a month and a half. We were both previously in a long-term relationship before we started dating, spent New Years together, and even went away for a weekend. I really like this guy, and I still think he likes me. He said he'd still like to hang out as friends if it wouldn't feel too awkward for me, and I agreed I would. Does this mean he just needs some space for awhile, and he may want to start up something again later on? Guys are so hard to read!!

Update: Ok...so this guy broke it off with me because he said it was moving too fast...this was five days ago. When is it too soon to call or text to see if he wants to grab a drink as a friend? Ive been holding off...is this a good thing??    6 months ago

Well, I hate to say this but you are being placed in a comfortable distance so he can date other women without totally loosing you. I know because I am guilty of this behavior when I was younger. It is really common in my line of work as well since it is hard to stay attached. It's not that you aren't a great girl to date but rather he is trying to play the field without loosing connections.

Several things can happen honestly at this point. He may just want to keep you as a friend and it may stay like or things can spark up again. The other is you sort of stay as friends but go your separate ways.

Ultimately, it boils down to being commitment issues. Some guys have a tough time dedicating themselves to just one woman. Especially young guys. Though you might have said something to scare him off. Saying "I love you" too early is a real nuke to the relationship.

On a brighter note he might just be telling the truth and thinks it is moving too fast. I have see numerous younger types in many units fall in love fast then re-think their situation. If you honestly like him stick around and watch his behavior. If you suspect other women then move on for you are now a back up girl. If he doesn't date around you are in the clear.

It was probably hard for him to let go of his previous relationship. I once dated a guy who had a long-term relationship with a girl before me and we broke up because he wasn't over her. It sucked, but we ended up being on and off for over a year and now I'm the one he's not over. He may be trying to date other women, but if you like him and he likes you, try letting him go for a little while and see what happens. He may come back to you on his own. Hang out with him as friends, nothing more, and he may realize that he wants more than a friendship with you. If he doesn't then at least you know and you can try to move on as soon as possible. Also you'll find out if he likes you for you because if you two hang out as friends and there's no kissing or messing around going on you can get a sense of whether or not he was with you for your body or your personality. Hope this helped :)

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I would wear a nice shirt,with a good pair of jeans,with my favourite sneakers,I would start the night out at some place chilled where we could get drinks,and get to know each other,then hit a karaoke bar,have a good time,
stay till we get kicked out,and then I would drive her home,walk her to the door ,thank her for the night and give her a goodnight kiss

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
She will learn that,I can't sing lol,but I do like to make people laugh and have a good time.and although I may seem playfull,I can be very mature and gentlemen like (:

Would you date me?
