Advice

Helllooo!!!! So about a month ago i got out of an abusive relationship. But Im not gonna let that relationship stop me from trying to find the one. So recently ive been talking to this guy. He is the most sweetest thing ever! Ive started falling for the little things he does. Over the weekend we met up and one thing led to another and yeah you get where im going with that. But i sent him a text last night telling him about how i was starting to feel. (I also dont usually have sex with someone unless i intend to be with them) and he told me he sees me the same way but doesnt want to rush into a relationship.... is this just him letting me down gently or what? Im confused
