Not sure how to go about this guy

Hey [MENTION=23954]Gemini[/MENTION] and [MENTION=23097]Insertnamehere[/MENTION]

Thanks so much to both of you for taking the time to reply.

I agree that I need to take a step back now and let him make the next move, he knows I like him and would like to see him again, and he's said he wants to get to know each other but take things slowly, so I guess the balls in his court, so to speak.

I know I can be an impatient person at times, and I am quite insecure when it comes to dating just because I've been messed around and hurt before, at least I recognise this I guess. It'd be great to know whether investing my energy into this lad is going to be worth it, but that's stupid and unrealistic I guess, only time will tell that.

So I think because when we left each other on Thursday we talked about doing something next week, and he said if he forgets to remind him, maybe I should leave it until mid-week, say Wednesday, and if I haven't heard from him, drop him a message? I just don't want him to think I've lost interest by not messaging him. This is the difficult thing as [MENTION=23097]Insertnamehere[/MENTION] has said, finding that balance between too much and not enough, that middle ground, is difficult.

I'm happy to take things at his pace, on his terms and go slower than I'm used to, I just know that if he doesn't make some effort, it's not going to go anywhere
