I met a wonderful man who I talk to on the phone 3-4 times a day. For the last month we have had some really intense, romantic conversations, and talked about a lot of personal things. Now he says he needs some space and some time to work on these personal things (I know what they are). He wants to slow things down between us. He wants to continue to talk and stay friends but doesn't want to speak romantically anymore, at least not until he gets his personal life straightened out, to be friends and see where it takes us from there. Is this possible, to move backwards and forget the things we spoke of in the past? Is it possible to slow down and continue talking and make it back to the romantic feelings we both feel for each other?

yes this can totally work. sometimes people have things to deal with and while they do this they dont need romantic complications. sounds like he really likes you which is why he's being careful not to mess things up while hes sorting out his personal problems. Take it as a good sign and just do as he's asked and slow things down a bit. I'm guessing if you give him this time he needs you'll be together properly in no time at all.

yes it is possible to 'just be friends', but don't try to forget the conversations you have had. men can be such scared little boys, let him get his life in order. he may have been hurt and don't know if he take the chance of being hurt again. give him time, if it is meant for you two to be together, you will. be there for him. talk to him. you are a woman, use it............!

I would definitely slow down and let him resolved his "issues." Just be careful that he is not backing out now. Stay in touch with him and make sure you make it clear to him that HE needs to be honest with you about how he feels about your relationship.

this could be his way of testing you. to see if you will be patient and tolerant and there for him.just listen and respect him enough to do this.
