What does it mean when a guy says he wants to take things slow?

What does it mean when a guy says that he wants to take things slow and not rush into anything? In other words, we've been dating for a few months and he has been a gentleman and confessed that he really likes me.
But he said that he really wants to get to know me as a person before we would have sex because he didn't want to rush things.

Is this a sign that he's actually interested in me and considering me for the long-term?

It probably means that he has been in a previous relationship in which the sexual aspect developed quickly, he got feelings invested in the girl, and then he got his heart broken. That will make a guy slow down!

Yup that's exactly right, he thinks you might actually be the one.
