<human>: Ok, I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

I met a guy about 4 months ago, we started dating and it's been *fantastic*. Best sex of my life, have lots of common interests, just an unreal amazing connection. We spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together and hang out about once a week. 

However, he's been pulling away recently. He was upfront at first about not wanting a relationship, but I thought "that probably means 'not with me'", which is fine. But he told me that "we've gotten too relationship-ish recently and he liked it, which scared him" He added "I spent 10 years in serious relationships and almost no time in my adult life not in one." We've agreed to try and take things back a notch, but it's hard because I'm falling in love with this guy. 

How should we best approach this situation? How should I respect his feelings? I want to keep seeing him, and he wants the same, but I don't want to pressure him. The connection is so amazing I'd rather wait for him to be ready. If I met someone else, of course, I'm not going to put my life on hold; but for now I'd wait as long as he needed.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Guy I'm falling for is trying to take a break from a long stretch of serious relationships, is withdrawing a bit after getting some feelings for me. What do?
