Take his word or dip

Hey everyone,

Recently got back on the dating scene and connected with a guy the last couple weeks. We have similar interests, discussed our green/red flags, upbringing and what we’re looking for. He seems great on paper and our dates have been filled with intellectual conversations plus good chemistry.

Last night, was my first night being full on intimate and spending the night. We watched a show, he made dinner, we exchanged small gifts from our travels and all the good stuff that occurs between adults lol

There is a current freeze warning which led me to spend the night on his request. We get to bed and everything is great. We make love, talk and everything seems to be flowing pretty well. One thing: he left to sleep on the couch in the middle of the night. He said he enjoys sleeping on a bed with a lot of space. Is this a genuine reason? Should I really take what he said or could it just be intimacy issues?

I really like him but this completely threw me off. I felt like we were both vulnerable with each other and were able to emotionally connect. Was it too soon? Even though he’s the one that wanted me to stay?

Clarification: he came back to bed around 6am to cuddle and made me breakfast
