Hey fellow Virgos! Help a girl out

Ok guys so I need some suggestion. I'm dating a Taurus and things are going pretty well from what I hear is the Taurus standpoint. He does all those things that they say to look for in a Taurus (i.e. affection, staring, sensual blah blah) but he's also going through the typical Taurus "getting his finances together". So he's taking things sloooooooowwwwwwww and when he's in work mode he can be hard, aloof, distant. He's told me that he needs to go slow & that right now his main focus is getting his life in order, to which I respect, accept and do my best to my remind myself of when he gets so distant with work. I've met all of his close friends, his father and 1 of his brothers (the rest of the family lives out of state) All of these people have my number and I there's as they will call me looking for him or if they need info. He (I think accidentally) told me he loved me last week, spoke about buying a house together and decided to give himself a drawer in my house today so I know that we are moving in a good direction albeit slowly. BUT ever since he told me it had to go slow, all the virgo in me (who likes instant gratification) wants to do is push it. I am struggling against myself to not sabotage with the need to have what I want WHEN I WANT IT. Here's the kicker i'm actually happy just dating as I'M not ready to be in a full blown relationship yet. But once he told me I couldn't have something all I could think was I GOTTA HAVE THAT NOW! So how do you Virgos keep yourselves in check when you see yourself pushing for something likely even sabotaging it with pressure just to get what you want?

P.S. He's in SERIOUS work mode now and I knew it was coming I just didn't realize how time consuming it would be and I feel like a petulant child wanting his attn when all he can see is WORK. I have a life I actually don't bother him at all and allow him to contact/see me when he has free time (which he does spend only with me) I am definitely suffering in silence. Sometimes (like last night) my frustration is soo deep I just want to explode with questions and demands (which I know would be the start of a downward spiral) So I need some tips to help keep that in check. Because I can get so frustrated with the "bad" that I totally miss the good and that's not a good trait to have. Help...

@uker83 I'm definitely keeping my eyes open to the point of still trying to date other people casually. My gut tells me that's not the case since he's so busy and has a hang up about cheating from the last girlfriend. But if it is that will be revealed to me at some point and I will drop his sorry arse!
