Try to stay at pace with your partner. Even after a while, if it's still going too slow, maybe suggest things.

试着和你的另一半同步前进。一段时间以后，如果恋情发展依然过慢，那你可以提些建议。

If it's not going where you want it to go, then you can talk to the person. If they're not comfortable doing what you want to do, then maybe you should find someone else.

如果你的恋情并没有如你希望的那样发展，你可以和另一半谈谈。如果他们对你想做的事情感觉不舒服，那也许你应该去找新恋人。

恋情的关键是沟通。如果你认为恋情进展太慢，你应该和另一半沟通一下。如果沟通无果，世界那么大，你会找到和你恋情合拍的那个人的。

Talk about it. Get together and be reasonable. Your conversations are very important.
