It's been awhile for me, but getting back in to relationships - I'm advising myself to go slow, mainly because I have less experience than others at my age. So, in this specific case - that is what I would recommend. If this changes, I'll post again.

it entails long long long conversations about how the other person has issues or wants to take ages to say they like you heaven forbid when they will say they actually love you lol some men and women have been so hurt they are unsure if they want to go deeper and so want to take it slow its hard being on the recieving end as you never quite know where you stand with them but if you care for them you will persevere with them and it may be worth it ..

I define it as wanting to get to know someone first. It takes time to get to know someone's character and disposition. I prefer exclusive relationships, but even if I have the guy picked I want to go slow.

it totally depends on the peps involved i mean i said it to my current boyfriend when we started to go out only because i just came out of a relationship after relationship one of thous a marriage and i didn't want to rush anything and get hurt again so in my book it meant just to get to no each other spend time together and just have a great time spending time together till i was comfortable with my feelings dose that make sense

The exquisitely agonizing tension builds up, causing major chemical heat between the two; if the friendship is developed first and each person wants to bond on that level prior to dating, such smoldering electricity is incomparable. It brings something irreplacable to 'puppy love'. It is both cute and mysterious.

The mercurially stolen glances, ever-so-feathery brushes of the hand on an arm or shoulder .. a barely restrained grin around the other person while primly maintaining public decency ...

Why the heck would I want a quickie? I love the Victorian hush-hush of a threatening volcano.

HAPPY upcoming VALENTINE'S DAY!

Last weekend my kids and I went for a long country drive...I was driving SLOW...I was amazed to see that there were so many sights that I had never noticed before...

Which is why the same could be said when getting to know someone, slow gives you time to see things you most likely would never notice when trying to rush.

Go slow...hmm I'm an expert on this one methinks. Go slow is the speed at which both parties are comfortable in thier closeness, needs, and intimacy. If one lags behind the other it is likely to end abruptly. Case closed. Next?

Going slow can be interpreted in different ways:
1. We need to take our time and get to know each other
2. I am confused don't know what the hell I want
3. Maybe we should just be friends
4. I am interested in someone else sorry better luck next time.

I always feel its number 4, I feel its best to go with the pace of your instincts and if the object of my affection is lagging behind she is most likely not into me.

For me it means I'm not going to rush things. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

In most cases it always ends up in number four. And I believe what you said always trust your instincts because they never lie to you. But In all always keep your options opened if you are not feeling a vibe from the person you are talking to.

Going slow always means, "I'll keep you around until something better comes around."

Now there's an intelligent, balanced post without the negativity. It's a wonder anyone posts anything on here with all the the negative, hostile, unkind responses. Anyway, Cedar One, I agree with you that we should all just take it as slow as we can. Sometimes when you are dating you only see someone three times in a month so of course you don't feel like you know them very well. Other times we might spend two or three days a week with a person and after a month know them very well. It doesn't come that natural for me but I'm trying to go with the flow and not overthink things and I'm probably the happiest I've ever been.

going to have to agree here. best way to put it.


go slow=.......grass MAY be greener somewhere else. let me go look and get back to you because you are nice and i want you just in case it's not better there.


no, i,m not bitter, just honest about some. probably the same on both sides of the fence.

Exactly. It's meaning is as individual, as the individual themselves. It can mean a lot of things. Don't assume.

If in doubt, ask for it to be defined.

Staying in the moment. With no expectation reguarding the OUTCOME. Making plans is O.K. because you are in the moment, making plans.

ahhh this damn statement of going slow---im getting annoyed and it seems like a broken record to me.

Another dude told me that he wanted "take things as it comes" and the"go slow" drama.
But tonight--he wanted to sleep with me --I halted him and told him...you want to go slow right, so my understanding of go slow that includes go slow with sex too.
Well tonight..he got blueballs.
I also sang a song to him "We dont have to take our clothes off to have a goodtime.
Poor guy--all he had to do was to drink beer and watched hockey --- lots of actions between Ducks and Sharks but he didnt get a score on me.
I wasnt sure why he was in a "silent mode" it could be that Anaheim lose the game tonight
or something else??? hmmmm.......

I figure it means what it says, "Going slow." Of course that relates to boredom so perhaps that has something to do with it. I suggest asking the source of the matter: All you're going to get here are other beliefs of what it means and not the answer from the core of the issue.

It depends which end of the relationship you are in...in the beginning it means:

"Ive just met you, I dont know you, lets take our time to get to know each other"

At the end of the relationship it means " I don't quite know how to say Ba-bye, adios, arivadeci, astalavista" (sp) movin on ...........>>>>>>>>
