You can take it slow and keep things interesting. Taking it slow gives you a chance to get to know one another and see if you have similar interests and enjoy spending time together, says Elisa Gizzo, an associate marriage and family therapist at Andrea Cornell Marriage and Family Therapy in New York City.

Is it good to go slow in a relationship?

“When you first meet someone, youre usually not your complete, full self with that person,” says Spaulding. “You stay on your best behavior and may also avoid being vulnerable.” Thats why its best to take things slow. Doing so will give you and your partner time to show your true colors — both the good and the bad.

Is there such a thing as moving too slow in a relationship?

A relationship that moves too slowly isnt good for the future of both of you. Relationships that tend to slow down or stall will immediately consume you. If youve noticed that your relationship is moving too fast/slow, it is very important to discuss it with your partner.
