Should I continue to move forward with this?

I told a guy I have been chatting with and who I like and who likes me too that I wanted us to get to know each other better before we got intimate (sex) with each other. His response was that he’s okay with that and he’ll go at my pace and doesn’t mind taking it slow because he genuinely likes me but he also said this exactly “But, you have to understand that my love language is touch.” In other words saying I won’t take it as far as us actually having sex but you must know that I still want some physical connection/intimacy with you. Which is fine, my only worry with that is that touching will lead to sex eventually anyway, which is what I wanted to avoid as of now

Hmm, that is kinda tricky. I understand where you're both coming from. On one hand, it's cool he said he'd respect your pace and go slow. But yeah, his comment about touch being his love language is a bit worrying.

I'd say try not to move too fast physically for now. Maybe keep your interactions public for a bit until you really get to know him better. No shame in protecting yourself too. Could you compromise by holding hands or hugging for now? That way he still gets some connection without moving straight to more intimate stuff?

Ultimately trust your gut. If being physical at all feels risky to your boundaries, don't be afraid to say so clearly. Better to be upfront now than deal with stress later. Hope it works out alright! Just go steady and do what feels right for you.

Then limit the texting to whatever makes you feel its time to stop.
