OK what does this expression mean? I have gotten 1 opinion but need more. This is a guy saying it to a girl..

You are not on the back burner I moved you to the front burner and you are on a low simmer.

He's watching his pot. I'd go find me another pot to watch, unless he's the catch of the year!

I think it means there is interest but he's taking it slowly.

She has to lose 30 lbs in 30 the same as Gwyn was losing. The rules are the rules and the rules are for EVERYONE! This is for people who are trying to lose weight with exercising and healthy eating which is 1200 calories per day or more depending on your weight.

BBBBUUUUTTTTTTTSSSSSSS.............if Missy loses the 30lb she has to so she could have her surgery sure as sh*t I am sending her a FQ. And maybe it would be nice if all her friends who have been with her on her journey the past year would do the same.
I totally, completely agree with this. I will send an FQ to both Missy AND the regular winner this month. This totally feels like the rightest thing ever!

OK Tru, the answer to your first question. He's waiting and seeing if it is worth prusuing. He's still looking at his options. He's not ready to commit.

Now, do you really want me to answer your second question? :)

Tru,
I have a different take on your question/answer.

Moving you to the front burner is moving you up in priority. Having you on a low simmer?? Sounds like "heat" and chemistry are building, but not combustible yet.

This doesn't necessarily mean that his other priorities were other "dates", it could mean that personal relationships were on the back burner and work was on the front burner.
