Go with the flow feels like 'laid back and easy going' or content with whatever may come'.

You'd have to ask him what he meant by it because in not asking him, you are not having a discussion that may be very important as far as what you want from the relationship and what he wants if both wants differ drastically.

If a guy is in the mode of searching for a long term relationship or for their life long partner in marriage or otherwise, then that man will not have a problem with commitment and letting you know early on of how he is feeling about you.

If a guy is in no hurry to commit to a girl, but just wants to enjoy dating without any strings attached or expectations like commitment from her, then he will be of a mind to not want to hurry things. If in this process he eventually gets to the point of not wanting to ever lose her, he will make a commitment. It's this type of person that generally will want to go with the flow, no expectations, and just be content with what there is now, not thinking of the future.

You say you're dating a few months. So that is reasonable. However if you are simply looking for a man to fall in love with you and want to get married because you are ready Now, then keep that in mind. It depends how often you spend time together and get to know each other more. If you see each other several times a week, thats more experience than once a week or less. I saw my 2nd husband probably 4,5 days out of each week when we first met. Of course we were both divorced and older and knowing what we wanted. We both were ready for a new relationship so after about 5 weeks we knew we had found the right person and made a commitment to each other. We are now married.
So I can't tell you without knowing how much time is invested right now in each other daily, whether at 6 months he should know what he wants, to continue with you or look elsewhere or if it would take a year. It shouldn't take longer. If he can't commit, then you may want to break it off and look elsewhere. Love not returned isn't going to make you happy.
