How would you take a relationship slow?

[OneLemonOrca]

Imagine that whilst young and naive you rush into a relationship without getting to know them first. After some thought you are thinking about asking them to try again but slowly this time. How would you do that this time around if you had been so intimate the first time? Or is it really difficult to do and not worth it?

I guess you just treat it like any other new relationship where you wanted to get to know them better before having sex with them?
Go on dates, talk, etc etc just don't sleep together. Simple.

And make sure you communicate that to them as well. Then you’re both on the same page!
