I just read this again...
" If we take our relationship further, I may talk about it; but people are in a rush to link us together. I will not lie or hide a relationship but I will not stand on the rooftop and announce it either.''Clearly, he's saying that they are in their initial stages of dating and coming out wont be the best idea right now. So, when their relationship gets stronger he may talk about it. Even if he does, he wont scream from rooftops and disclose every little detail about his relationship.
