So I've been talking to a man for a while now, seen him a few times but always been quite Friendly, it took me months literally to bring his walls down and open up a tiny bit to me and he finally admitted he did "like me" and was impressed I never gave up? Anyway things finally started to heat up a little bit, only a little bit, but he started flirt, hug, message all day long, finally start asking about me. Then... He has suddenly slowed it all down and I feel like we've gone back to 4 weeks ago when it was like pulling teeth. And since I mentioned it to him it seems to have gone worse also. He said he wants to take things slow but this is like watching paint dry đ there are signs of hope or I wouldn't have invested all the effort I have done to keep talking to him and get to know him. However, it is me who always messages first, I reply really quick, maybe if I back off he may become interested again? It's literally doing my head in I can't think straight.
