How to move things slowly with someone you see everyday?

Question

After a month of flirting, I'm talking to a guy. Last night over text he says he loves me. (This is the reason I hate messging).

To which I reply "you don't even know me". He said "take it easy?" and I said "yes."

He admitted to having an instant and long-time crush on me.

He lives close-by and we do see each other almost everyday as a result.

It's too early to tell if he's a narc trying to lovebomb me into bed or an inexperienced, young guy experiencing a strong infatuation.

In my heart, I feel he is good guy so I want to take it slow and see but some advice on how to do so when we are in such close proximity to one another?

Thanks for your help.

It's great that you're being cautious about moving too quickly in a new relationship. Taking things slow is always a good approach, especially when you see each other every day.

One way to take it slow is to focus on getting to know each other better as friends first. Spend time together in group settings or doing activities you both enjoy, and try to build a strong foundation of trust and mutual respect. You can also set clear boundaries and communicate openly about your feelings and expectations in the relationship.

It's important to remember that you don't owe anyone your time or attention, and it's okay to take a step back if you feel uncomfortable or unsure. If you feel like he's trying to rush things or pressure you into something you're not ready for, don't be afraid to speak up and set boundaries.

Overall, the key to taking things slow is to prioritize your own emotional well-being and to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your needs and expectations. Remember that a healthy relationship is built on trust, respect, and open communication, and that it's always okay to take the time you need to build a strong foundation before moving forward.

I don't really know what to advise about moving things along slowly like you said, but I just wanted to opine that I too believe the guy to be the inexperienced, smitten type rather than the smooth fuckboy.

sometimes men automatically know the type of person who is the one for them. In this case, seeing each other so FREQUENTLY and being in such close proximity, given the time frame is actually a lot! Men do know right away. The only way you can ascertain if he is a narc will be further observation in a relationship setting - give it a month after and let me know how it goes. I just divorced a narc - I will be able to tell you then!
