Peeps...how to deal with a slow start in a relationship?

Hey guys. I want to know if any of you have had a confusing start in a relationship. Mixed signals. Didnt know whether the relationship should be moving faster or slower? Your hot, he’s cold.

Okey so here’s my story.

Two months ago I met a guy who is great. He is super direct. Honest. Our communication is super flowy and clear. He’s also taken a huge chance with me. I’ve had a bit of past and since the city/country I live in is super small, he knows about one or two flings of mine. Turns out, they are super close friends of his. Didnt know, aint my fault, but it sux. And they sure dont have nice things to say about me. Must be the bruised egos.

Anyway, we have gone all the way a couple of times. So for me thats not a slow start. At all.

However. All of a sudden. He’s been taking it superrr slow. And well. I dont think i can handle it. Im trying to explain this to him. But he tells me that im feeling more desperate than usual because i dont have a job and i need to relax. TRUE. but…but..but….even if i did have a job. I still dont think we see eachother enough. I usually see him twice a week. Now its like down to one. Not mention. He told me he’s losing his mojo.
What do you guys think? Stick to my guns and be patient? can i make it. Is it worth it? Is he losing interest, or is he just being careful?

Sorry its a lot of chit chatter but i got to know :)
