Cuz they are doinking 3 other women and don't currently want to trade them all in for just you, just yet.
by angry_onion on November 13th, 2008
They need time and professional therapy to get used to the in-laws.

Once burned .. twice learned that relationship isn't a race?
by VS Angel aka Mrs. Stealth Intelligence on November 16th, 2008
That happens the other way around also.
Sometimes people want to take things slow because they ARE interested and want to get to know you better before making any commitment or long-term promise. When I tell someone that I want to take things slow, it's because I am falling for them.
Promises and commitments are very serious.
If he says he loves you, believe him. Allow him the time he needs to get to know you. If he wasn't interested, he'd say so.

Because sex is better nice slow and easy. We just throw in the I love you part:)
by Thou_wilst_enjoy_it on November 13th, 2008
Well i know for a fact, the first time i realized i was in love...it was a strange feeling and i wasnt used to handling relationships like that...so i needed to take it slow..because it was a new situation for me...its the same with most other guys..they realize they love you and dont wanna treat u the same as other girls they have been with..
by Alias xsicajess on November 13th, 2008
Cause they went too fast before, and before they realized it, they messed up what should have just been friends, and they want the next relationship to be real
by jess aka babygirl on November 13th, 2008
sometimes there being respectful towards you good sign =)
by TammyBouellee on December 20th, 2008
They like you for who you are.
They enjoy their time spent with you.
They want to take more time to know you better to see how things will work out in the long run.
THATS if...he is a good man.
Some just say so to stall where the relationship is going. That may mean they are seeing someone else... or they just came out of a bad relationship and needs things slower...
It is best not to judge and just go with the flow, IF you are comfortable. If not, you can choose out.
Remember...its not him dictating where you and him should go.
Its YOUR choice too.
by CaptainHarley adores his life penguin on December 12th, 2008
Um ... be-cause they love you, but they want to take it slow?
by Vampyre Bat on November 16th, 2008
Because maybe they love you but want to take it slow.
by sarah on November 13th, 2008
Some men have had bad experiences in their past relationships so the want to take it slow so that they dont make the same mistakes again. It doesnt mean hes not serious about you or doesnt love you. Have you ever thought maybe they love you so much that they want it to be perfect and thats why he wants to take his time. However some men say they love you and want to take it slow because they are happy to see you when it suites them and theyre busy when they cant be bothered, but by saying they love you but want to take it slow they can have they cake and eat it whenever they want at your expense.
by jackrobin01 is a girl on December 22nd, 2008
They mean that you are getting too intense. They do love you but wish you weren't so needy. Give this person a bit more trust and space and I guarantee they will adore you for it.
by Lori K still ignores stalkers and trolls on December 12th, 2008
because they don't really love you. They are doing time until something/someone better comes along.
by maltissimo on December 10th, 2008
because guys think that is what the girls want they want to make them happy,
by Jessica on December 9th, 2008
O.k, no man who was truly interested would EVER say that. Find a new guy.
by chrissysdreams on December 9th, 2008
I've never had a man say that to me but if I were to wager a guess I'd say it's because they are afraid of the "V". :)
by ladyshakespeare on December 7th, 2008
it means he just wants sex and isnt sure about anything else. great way to find out is STOP HAVING SEX with him!
by ABE_EBA on December 7th, 2008
ARE YOU A HOE?
BE PATIENT AND SHOW HIM YOU LOVE HIM
by Anonymous on December 7th, 2008
To make sure that you feel the same. That your not trying to play any games. Maybe it is better that you take it slow that way you know they are the right one and not just a fling.
by Anonymous on December 2nd, 2008
Want to make sure things are real and not just lust! Or perhaps they've been at this stage before and moved to fast and ruined the relationship.
by Lori K still ignores stalkers and trolls on December 2nd, 2008
Everyone should take it slow. Don't rush into a relationship or even into an admission of love too quickly. It cheapens the real thing.
by marigold on December 2nd, 2008
one they are being honest, that they love you and are not totally ready to take that big step, its a two way street with this one and i say take it easy as if that guy is pushed he will run quicker to get away, do not burn your boats, im talking from experience.
by Nemesis on November 19th, 2008
Mostly they wait for their partners to make the next move...
by luigi on November 19th, 2008
it means, take your time in doing things.
by greenboy on November 19th, 2008
because youv scared the shit out of them some how
by suzycue on November 16th, 2008
Because they have had a gf in the past who has tried to hustle them to the altar......nothing is more scary to a guy. I would take a 'let's take it slow and easy' as a compliment....and as an indication of real interest in a long term commitment.
by Wisdom on November 14th, 2008
Because they love their partner which is really big for them but they don't want ot married them , yet.
by manda on November 14th, 2008
i thought guys only said "i love you" cause they eant to get into bed with you.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on November 14th, 2008
Do you mean regarding sex or regarding commitment? :)
by Rule Britannia on November 13th, 2008
Fear/intimadation
by meowry on November 13th, 2008
Because they want a real relationship with you! Or...they are stalling because they aren't attracted to you (I've heard of this happening). You can tell, by the way he treats you.
by CT on November 13th, 2008
Because they dont think like us!!!
by Corbie on November 26th, 2009
Why girls always ask questions like "why do man...?" when they should ask "why MY man"?
by Mimi Sweety on November 26th, 2009
May be they are so afraid of commitement!!
by TERRYTUKER on May 20th, 2009
cause a women tore their heart out and shit on it
by Angel7 on December 22nd, 2008
Could be various of reasons.. Perhaps they are afraid to commit to a relationship that may lead to marriage, ending up with someone who isn't the "right one", fear of losing their "freedom" OR some may had a previous relationship that gone bad and etc..
No one likes to get hurt and there's no cure for a broken heart.

WHY RUSH THEY WANT THE TIME WITH YOU TO BE SO SPECIAL AND YOU WILL HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIVES TOGETHER SO WHY SPOIL IT
by Sharpie on December 22nd, 2008
Cause they care, and want you to be the last one. Taking it slow means spending more time with you. why rush?
by DukeG on December 22nd, 2008
They must have watched "The 40 Year Old Virgin" one too many times.
by kittie on December 21st, 2008
They say it but don't do it.
by besmellah on December 21st, 2008
because they are slow beings:P
by Chubbychaser84 on December 21st, 2008
Because they are sensible. They probably really love you but all men will be different but if they want to take it slow it shows they are not just after sex or a fling at any rate. Either they need time to be totally sure because they are considering a big commitment or they dont want things to happen so quick that it spoils things. They may be a bit shy too or afraid of getting things wrong but keep showing you love then and if they appear to want some space give them it. Alot of women are like that too.
by CHUCK on December 21st, 2008
Beause they do not want to have those wonderful feelings of love and sex that often are confusing... to inpact their judgment and potentially ruin the relationship by over reacting and going 'too fast'. It is another way of saying my body is telling me I want to got to bed right now... but my head is telling me that I want to be sure we both feel the love and caring for each other... and when the time is right for both they can share each others love and their bodies.
by maestroanth on December 20th, 2008
If some1 really loves you they DO NOT wanna take it slow...
think about it...
by NOTANONYMOUS HATER on December 17th, 2008
they don't want to rush and they actually might even care. LOL
by Colt COAT of Justice on December 17th, 2008
A man who really loves you wants to take time and get to know you I would think!
by Anonymous on December 16th, 2008
They want buck each way...
by KNIS71 on December 16th, 2008
HAHAHA i wish i coulda met that guy LOL
by GypsyBoy7 on December 11th, 2008
if your a good and decent woman and he sees that but wants to test the waters to see if youll stray if he dosent move fast enough, then maybe you struck gold and dont know it yet
men like that arent a dime a dozen you know
HE SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO COMMIT.

i think BIG is onto something (as usual)
by ladyshakespeare on December 7th, 2008
It's what ive seen some of my friends get caught up in. They like the attention that they get from dating two or three at a time, but it all falls apart on them and then end up with no girl at all
