I really fancy this man! He's said the same! Do his 'sexting' attempts indicate he just wants a shag?

Hi all
I've Namechanged for this
I'm in my early 40s & happily single with a very busy life.
Met a guy randomly who was doing some work for me.
Gorgeous. Connection. Texts started to not be anything about the work....
V complimentary & quite lovely to receive. He's asked me out but since I said yes his texts are basically along the lines of my arse/feeling horny/etx
I don't know how to answer!!!!Obviously not planning on marrying him but quite soon for sexting (only met him 3 times) or is it too early?
I've been out of 'the game' for a while and now wondering if he's just after a shag!?! Any advice welcome !!!Confused

Yes. Getting sexual over text with someone you don't know that well sounds like he's trying to assess whether you are up for it.

A nice guy would at least want to date you a bit first. But, if you want a FWB, it sounds like he'd fit the bill!

Shoxfordian · 29/11/2017 13:28

He definitely wants a shag! If you want more than that then suggest meeting somewhere public in daytime, no alcohol and see how it goes.

Horsemad · 29/11/2017 13:28

He probably is after a shag, most men are. But, if you are both single and fancy each other why not? Wink

Just be careful and TAKE PRECAUTIONS!!!

Shouldileavethedogs · 29/11/2017 13:30

He wants a shag

Myheartbelongsto · 29/11/2017 13:57

Shag

NoCanoe · 29/11/2017 14:02

He's clearly sussing you out to see if you are up to shagging on first date.
I find it a bit 'Ewwww' that as soon as you said yes to the date , he moves his texts up a gear to sexual rather than being lovely/complimentary.

TheNaze73 · 29/11/2017 14:41

I think it’s sex he’s after. Nothing wrong with that if you’re on the same hymn sheet

spaghettijunctionrocks · 29/11/2017 17:35

Ha! Thought as much 😉
To be honest I don't have the time & headspace for a relationship so maybe I need to just have some fun!
It's been flippin ages!!!!!

Shag

But if you're single/he's single....Go mingle! 😆

spaghettijunctionrocks · 30/11/2017 11:29

Gonna mingle I decided.... 😉
But now the texts have gone kinda 'tell me more about you?' & disclosing a couple of his vulnerabilities .........

A year is a long time

RidingWindhorses · 30/11/2017 17:43

Inappropriate sexts would put me right off tbh.

John89 · 30/11/2017 18:45

Some people like it.

WatchTheFoxes · 30/11/2017 18:55

He sounds really sleazy. Stay well away!

LesisMiserable · 30/11/2017 19:15

Now dh and I had zero sexting before our first date, he was respectful to the last...we s*ged each other's brains out on the first date though 😂 I'd say the only problem with sexting before meeting is that expectations then might not be met. But single, horny? Why not??!

christmaswreaths · 30/11/2017 19:19

God I would hate the sexting
If it was me I would blank totally
But if you like it, go for it!!!!

John89 · 30/11/2017 20:12

If you like it then do it and if it helps you get what you need or want

Guiltybystander · 30/11/2017 20:17

Sexting before shagging is not a good idea.

John89 · 30/11/2017 20:25

Have you had a bad experience

Ragusa · 30/11/2017 20:55

I'd find it too much if I didn't know him before. Of you knew him for a while as acquaintances and suddenly there was a mutual acknowledgement of 'hey, you are hot, shall we go out somewhere' then I think sexting in that context may be ok. From a standing start... nope. Too much too soon, I'd worry he just saw me as an object.

Be3Al2Si6O18 · 30/11/2017 21:00

Yes. And so do yours.

John89 · 30/11/2017 21:17

What ever makes you happy 😊

John89 · 01/12/2017 17:34

What did you end up doing
