Sometimes when we meet a person that we think may be "THE ONE", we try to rush things forward. When is the right time for our first hug? Our first touch? Our first kiss? Are we at a point where we can place a label on our relationship?
Usually, one person and/or the other in the relationship have been hurt and in the zeal to avoid future pain, they want to take things slow. While we may be tempted to get things moving a little quicker, if we are truly trying to express Godly love, then we should offer our prospective partner the gift of time. God did not rush when He created us, so what makes us think we know better than He in our relationships? Slow down and give the other person time to process their thoughts and feelings. Encourage them to ponder how a relationship with you will benefit them. If they are as spiritually grounded as you, God will also whisper words of encouragement on your behalf. And if the relationship is to be, then the foundation on which it rests will be more stable.
As the first token of your growing love for your prospective partner, give him or her the gift of time.
