This. And they stem from a much bigger issue.

You're weird. That's a weird thing to text. You should have addressed in person or made the first move, etc.
Maybe he has herpes and does not want to disclose unless he has decided he really likes you.

I texted him afterwards to let him know next time he can kiss me and do more. He responded that he won’t go too far unless he knows there’s something there, so we have to take our time.
Red or green flag? I don’t mind waiting, but I know men typically have high sex drives and want to get in bed as fast as possible. I don’t want to spend months dating him just to find out he doesn’t like sex. He’s also not religious.
DH here: Impossible to answer without knowing more, particularly your ages. But men sometimes do get gun shy if they are the sort who gets attached after sex and have had some bad experiences as a result. While the stereotype is that men are just in it for the sex and can compartmentalize no problem, there are actually quite a few that can catch feelings in that way. I had a rather painful ghosting experience once where we went from super-hot-and-heavy for a couple of months to “do I know you?” So, some men learn caution the hard way.
