I'm not one to take things slow for anything, but I think for my Prince romance is definitely something that cannot be rushed. I've already decided no sex until I'm in a committed relationship, and it's taken me five years of celibacy to understand why. But to confess love and spark a romance? I'm very direct with my feelings. I know that when sparks fly like fireworks (in past dating), the feelings are very strong but they also fade very fast. With my Prince, I have strong feelings for him, but at the same time it's not the same fireworks I've experience in the past that fade away when I see their "true colors". I feel like the more I get to know him as a friend, the more I grow to love him as a person and the feelings are solid, like a foundation.

But how do I "take things slow"? What does that even mean? How do I grow more and more in love by putting friendship first while still sending signals that I do love him?
