I’m (f/26) currently in the talking stage with this guy (32 y/o). Our relationship is not exclusive, but we are also not seeing anyone else at the moment. We’ve been seeing each other at least twice a week the past 3 weeks and we talk every day. We have slept with each other. I’ve met his best friend. We both initiate seeing each other. More often it is him initiating to see each other. We both reply very fast u less busy. We communicate openly with each other and we are learning each other.
But he says wants to take it slow. I personally don’t know how to do this because I think I have the tendency to get attached too easily.
Should we see each other less? Should we talk less? I do feel as though the initial endorphins are starting to fade. But things are still consistent. We still talk. As an anxious avoidant type this does make me nervous. When he doesn’t reply for 1-2 hours I get nervous and start thinking that maybe I did something wrong. But I think that’s a me problem.
Tl;Dr : Help! I don’t know how to take things slowly.
