Dear Poppyxo:

My answer to whether you are “protecting myself a little too much” by having told him that “I don’t feel like we’re at that stage at the moment and I just want to take things slow & see how things pan out”-

no, you are not overprotecting yourself by having stated that to him two months into the dating. Take all the time you need. Get to know him further, more, at different contexts. Have more conversations… get to know him.

(“Wonderful” and “adorable” are not indicative of knowing him enough…)
