I understand that the Knight of Pentacles is typically associated with slow movement and waiting. So, if I drew this card in response to the question, "What is this person's next move/action towards me?" I'm a bit confused about how to interpret it. Could it mean that he's waiting for me to reach out first, given that the card reflects waiting? Or is it advising me to be patient and wait for him to contact me, even though it will be slow? I'm not very familiar with this card; in fact, this might be one of the few times I've ever pulled it. Therefore, I'm seeking more insight. Thank you, everyone.

I sense that he's grounded and proceeding cautiously. You asked about his next move: it might be so gradual that it seems like he's not making any. However, the Knight of Pentacles is also known for loyalty. I wouldn't assume that he's forgotten about you; rather, he's likely being methodical and taking his time.

Admittedly, in the past, when the Knight of Pentacles appeared in this context, it typically indicated that the person would either take no action or move so slowly that it's nearly indistinguishable from inaction. Either way, I'd advise you to be prepared for very, very slow progress. The Knight of Pentacles prioritizes standing his ground and operates with defense as a priority.
I agree with MichaelTh159. In my experience, the Knight of Pentacles has never been one to move swiftly. While he may indicate a desire to act when representing action, he tends to stick around (loyalty), but rarely demonstrates the obvious actions I would have hoped for.

I would definitely describe his progress as "slow," maybe even as slow as a snail's pace. It likely indicates that he's a patient, cautious, and very thorough person, which isn't necessarily a bad thing overall. However, waiting in such circumstances can certainly make you feel like you're going mad. Well, speaking from personal experience, that is.

I've definitely been going mad... I'm someone who definitely has zero patience, haha!

If there's nothing really preventing you from getting together, such as major distance or other relationships, then go ahead and reach out. Taking the initiative could make a big difference if you're more direct and take the lead a bit. Earthy/Pentacles people can be very shy about their feelings and don't tend to enjoy risk-taking either. So, you might encourage him to open up and be less hesitant if you calmly state your interest in getting to know him better and suggest a casual place to hang out. Don't overwhelm him; just make sure he knows you're interested in building a stronger connection.
I would say he'll be so slow that it'll likely annoy you to the point of giving up. That's how the Knight of Pentacles always shows up in my readings. Sometimes I just want to yell at him, "Get off your butt!"
