he wanted sex. I told him no. So its not about being intimate. He's tryin to make his ex jealous, I think. So I'm done with it

Depending on the type he could mean several different things. He could mean that he's not interested but doesn't want to say "no." He could mean that he's interested but he hasn't quite figured out what he wants yet, or he might have some issues he needs to deal with right now and he needs to get things figured out before starting a relationship. He might also have feelings for other girls and he needs to sort out what is what.

Taking it slow means not rushing into things; being cautious and not jumping into something you're not ready for.

I depends on both of you. I said that to my girlfriend (ex now) but it was the 3rd day of dating and she says I love you soo...lol it depends on both of you

I would say "He wants to keep his options open", taking it slow can let him know you and at the same time meet other people, because he is not sure if you are the one he wants to be with and maybe there is another girl for him and he wants to figure that out but it doesn't mean he is not interested in you.

See how things are going, and maybe you can figure it yourself what he meant by telling you that.

he does not want to get serious, he does not want to get attached emotionally, he wants to get to know you but does not want a relationship yet.

I do not think is to keep options open.it depends on what type of guy he is.

[Deeplove55]

He needs space. Things are going to fast and he doesn't want to get serious right now.

[margorita]

So can I still see other people? I'm so confused. I've never been told to take things slow before

[Deeplove55]

Yes that's what that means. He may not expect you takin things slow cause guys are selfish like that but yea he definently is saying he wants to see others and be free. You do the same since he wants to take things slow. Don't wait for him or no one cause they may never come back. Just go a long with it

[ButterflyMusic]

He doesn't want anything heavy. Like he doesn't wanna get tied up

[iLissa-chan]

He wants to take it REAL slow. like, on the second date he wants maybe a kiss on the cheek, NOT you lying on his bed naked. no rushing is what he means.

[andrew]

He's still got feelings for an ex & is scared of further rejection.

Depending on the context, I would think he meant he didn't want to rush into anything, especially physical stuff.

he just wants you for sex...
