<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I met my boyfriend at university through a mutual friend. We became friends quickly and confessed to liking each other. We talk on skype every night and fall asleep with skype still on, he was my first kiss etc etc. He's really sweet and very caring/considerate, the problem is that he's moving really quickly. We've talked a lot about saying 'I love you' and he really wants to say it but I've asked him to hold off for now, it's not that I don't love him it's just that I don't think I'm in love with him.

I really like him but my parents think that it's moving too quickly/it's too intense and I'm inclined to agree with them. They suggested that we take a break for a while to cool things off and we tried it but only lasted about a week and a half, since then we have sporadically been not speaking and then talking nonstop. We've been on a physical break for 4 ½ weeks which is meant to last until the end of January, but he's putting more and more pressure on me to meet him.

We have a lot of conflicting views (religion, politics etc) and we come from different family backgrounds (his family are very hands-off, don't get involved at all. My family is very close and we all know everything about each other and have an opinion) and I'm just not sure that I see this lasting long term. He's been throwing about words like 'soul-mates' and 'meant to be' and I'm not sure what to do. He knows how I feel about it and he's trying to hold back somewhat.

I guess my question is, are we wasting our time? I really don't want to hurt this guy but sometimes I wonder if I'm just hurting him more the longer I wait.
<bot>: My boyfriend and I have different backgrounds and beliefs, he's more invested than I am and we both know it. Are we wasting our time? Will I hurt him more by letting it play out rather than cutting it off now?
