What does a guy say to a girl when he wants to take things slow?

[Libra89]

is the term "take it easy" a way of brekaing up or does the guy wanna take things slow with the girl?

[Popnlock]

Guys are very direct people, we mean exactly what we say... Like if we say we don't want kids right now it doesn't mean we don't ever want to have kids it means just not now but maybe in the future... Women say things to guys and expect them to read Inbetween the lines and figure it out but for guys we are to logical and direct to say stuff that your gonna have to predict the true meaning that's not how it works for men. So my advice is don't over think it because that's exactly what your doing... If he's gonna break up he will literally tell you

[Libra89]

the guy spoke to me , and when I asked him to hang out he was saying "now isn't the best time"...what did this staement mean? at times he also desnt respond altogether yet he has still kept in touch with me...im confused...

[martyfellow]

Ify ou're already in a relationship, saying something like' take it easy' is a polite way of suggesting a break up, as you surmise.

It's only in the early stages of gettting to know one another than 'take it easy' or 'take it slow' has a positive meaning.

[Libra89]

it was after the 3rd date that that was said...

[martyfellow]

Tha'ts still early..he's saying he tthinks you're good, but he wants to get to know you while thinking things through throughly, ...

[Libra89]

were still in contact but he seems "busy" - that what he says (but he does work). and at times he doesn't even reply to me...whats up with that? do guys ignore girls they like? or has he developed feelings and can't handle it?

[Libra89]

he even told me that he cares about me...

[martyfellow]

He just doeshn't want any misunderstandings, which happen when people rush into affairs without knowing the other person.

[Libra89]

he backed away to think things thru? or has he lost interest? he still has a photo of the 2 of us under his tagged pics but deleted the one of his ex...

[martyfellow]

Yes, he just wants to be sure he knows what is happening...he learned the hard way from the break up with is ex.

Best Answer, no?

Well, see thing is it could mean either way. For me, it would mean I def want a relationship with you but I don't want to dangerously rush things getting there. How girls have taken "I want to take things easy" in the past wth them is that I'm not at all interested in a relationship at the moment with you and might not be at all, I just like you as a friend. They took it the total wrong way.

So, question...as a girl, if a guy definitely wants a relationship with you, but just wants to take it slow and cautiously getting there, what should he say so it doesn't sound like rejection?

[Tigurinn2]

"They took it the total wrong way" This I can, sadly, confirm!

And more often than not it's like girls have then thought "Hmm, he wants to take things slow?! Well, I'm gonna force him into a relationship with me asap!"; and that, of course, backfired for them. Those girls are no longer part of my life

[asdaven]

I mean I just like to take it slow because if you jump into a relationship too fast, it ll just be a mess and end before it really takes off. I'm speaking from experience. I like to be slow and cautious about it even when things are headed that way. If things are for sure headed that way, what's the rush? A guy doesn't rush means he has standards and desires to be in a relationship that works and not something for short term comfort.

[Premonition]

sound like slowing things down,that way won't feel rushed an confused. Its a way to determine he's in love an know he's in love.

[Libra89]

ok so basically taking things slow and not rushing

[Premonition]

yup,last thing you want to do is scare him off

[surferstud]

"I really care about you, baby, but I think we're moving a bit too fast. Let's try and take it slow, ok?" (Said in a loving voice, showing affection)

[NickInVideo]

I thought "take it easy" was something you'd say when parting company with someone.

"see you later, joe."

"Yeah, take it easy."

I don't see the context of what he said to you, so... I don't know.

Thanks.

take a look at my other questons..

[DeepBlue]

He's not ready for commitment but he likes you. Just be careful he doesn't play that game for too long. At some point you have to be in or out.

[posted]

He doesn't like your house decorating and DOES NOT want to move in..

Slow is usually I don't want to move in and blahblablah.

Time apart is like "F*** you I'm leaving, but there's a 1% chance I'll come back" in a 'nice' misguided way.

[Racez]

Take it easy is a good way. It's like forcing the pace to turtle steps, and to take one's time before rushing into anything.

It's not about what he says, it's about what he does
