I was talking to this guy online and we hit it off pretty well really quickly and ended up messaging privately, then we exchanged social media after a while and we talked for hours. I really like him and we realised pretty quickly that we were getting really close real fast, since talking turned to flirting but we just got each other. I had a breakup a few months back and wanted to take things slow and we both agreed. We decided on not talking for a while and I started missing him within a day.
How long should I wait? I was thinking maybe distract myself for a week at least so I don't come off too strong but what do you guys think? We joked about who would end up messaging first. I know he checks for my message often or if I said something if that helps?
