How do you slow a relationship down?
My boyfriend and I have been together for two and a half months. We already say we love each other and have both made comments about the future. We see each other every day and talk almost all day. 
It seemed like everything was good and that we were on the same page but he has asked to slow things down. Says we don't need to act like we are getting married next week (and I completely understand that). I just feel a little blind sided and confused. How do I feel like he isn't leaving or like he doesn't want to? How do I be comfortable with taking things slower? He can't completely explain what slower looks like. I'm scared that I'll overwhelm him and ruin everything. How do I get it together before I ruin every relationship like I always do? I want to be fair to him.
