Re: Taking it slow
He’s being cautious, either because of parents or he’s scared himself.
I say the second part because I am personally super cautious. Wouldn’t say those exact words, but wouldn’t want the person to fall head over heals when I know I am taking it slow.
In my experience, when the guy is “cautious”, it doesn’t work out. I am even more careful and then I get tired. Hopefully the situation here isn’t the same.
