"Let's take it slow." "Let's be friends first." Blah blah blah. Headgames'd! They're cookie cutter cushy verbal shortcuts to an escape.
Yeah, girls usually say that when they don't want to rush into sex. This is completely fine as long as they're up front about the relationship progressing to that point in the specified future instead of just using the cliche phrase to signal that you're not getting into her panties at any time period.
If you have any questions about cliche phrases and need clarification, request it. Call 'em out on their bullshit. You can't use a canned phrase and expect it to settle anything. Frankly, I'd feel like a total sellout if I was a girl and said that to a guy. That's just so lame. I would be ashamed of myself.

FWIW... I've never actually been with a girl that wanted to take it slow. I wouldn't know what it's like to see someone for a week without ending up with her diagonal on my didjeridoo. I've just heard stories from my friends... and the utterance of the phrase was indeed the kiss of death.
