What does it mean when he tells me that we need to slow down?

[Anonymous]

I'm in a talking stage with this man (long distance), we enjoy each other's company, we watch movies and shows together, we play together, we spend long hours voice chatting (7 hours non stop at one point). Last night he confessed that he likes me, and i confessed my feelings too, then he said "we need to slow down though". Does that mean we're on a break? Are we not a couple yet? What are we exactly?

He means the speed limit is 25. Your going 50. He's saying you don't need to speed we will get there in time. Relax.

Or he's could really be saying hey I like you and bi know you want it but I have a little problem let me get all my ducks in a row first

It means that he knows you are not in a relationship and because of the distance he doesn’t want you to get hurt by falling in love with him. So he said that he likes talking with you but wanted to slow the emotional connection so you don’t have stronger feelings until you meet him and date irl.


Makes sense?

Exactly - you are online friends rn

He doesn't want to advance the relationship.
