New relationship, they are quite full on - suggest working from home together so you can both hang out after the next date (implying you will stay at theirs), they are very keen, lots of common ground and fun moments. They are also recently out of a ltr and possibly on the rebound 😑 You have a talk with them saying you want to take things slow and get to know them better before sex (couple of weeks in) and suddenly they go cold - scared of emotional commitment?! Emotionally unavailable?

I'd back off. It doesn't sound like they know what a healthy relationship looks like.

Big red flag! Those that rush into relationships at an unnatural pace tend to end them just as abruptly. You rightly asked to slow things down because it feels fake.

You have dodged a bullet my friend!

I agree!

What do you think his MO was though?

He wanted sex - hence the WFH aspect (staying over) and the cooling off once he was told to take it slow.

Just sex though? Why bother with all of the other stuff/try and fake an emotional connection/go on a few dates...?

In it for the sex

Is the same thread that has been going on for weeks, where he wanted to you to have dinner near his home and cooled off when you said you wanted to take it slow.
