FAQ
More about taking it slow.
Does taking it slow mean he’s not that into me?
Not necessarily. Genuine slow still moves forward with steady effort. It’s only a bad sign when ‘slow’ comes with shrinking contact and no direction. DearHim helps you read the pace.
How slow is too slow?
When it stops moving at all. Slow with consistent effort is fine; slow that never progresses is a stall you’re allowed to question.
How do I respond when he says he wants to take it slow?
Agree to a pace that also respects your needs, and watch whether his actions match his words. DearHim can help you say it without sounding demanding.
