AIBU? Been on 2 dates and he keeps saying sexual things which is making me uncomfortable

This is kind of a AIBU one. I (late twenties) started talking to a guy (late thirties) around a month ago and we are getting on like a house on fire. He’s literally great; everything I’ve been looking for and seems to be super into me. We are both after something serious and want marriage/children. We’ve been on 2 dates but haven’t kissed yet because I haven’t been ready to. We speak on the phone, message, and send voice notes multiple times each day. He started saying the odd sexual thing which I kind of ignored or laughed off each time, but it’s started getting more and more and it’s making me feel uncomfortable and making me back off which I really don’t want. I am quite a reserved person and I’ve made this clear to him.

He said something really sexual yesterday about what he likes done to him and I told him nicely that it’s too much and too soon to be saying stuff like that to me. He then replied something sexual again to me!

I appreciate everyone’s different but I won’t have sex with someone unless I’m exclusive with them and can see it (hope it will anyway) going all the way with them, and I don’t tend to kiss someone until at least a few dates in when I’m more comfortable around them. He keeps saying it’s lucky he’s so patient. I mean, we’ve only been on 2 dates I’m not really sure what he was expecting.

Anyway! This is THE only thing I’m not liking; everything else couldn’t be more perfect. How can I tell him to stop sending messages to me like this without pushing him away or making him feel embarrassed or annoyed with my response? Am I being over the top and this is very normal?

Usually guys I date don’t talk like this in the beginning; it’s only when I’ve got to know them a lot better and then the ‘other side’ of them comes out, and so does mine! Obviously the more subtle odd comment here and there is nice but explaining what he likes sexually and what he wants me to do to him and how to act is a complete turn off at this point to me.

Definitely bin this one. If he's this bad two dates in, he will only get worse. This is a very serious non-compatibility issue, even if everything else seems great.

Hedonism · 28/09/2024 20:56

It's lucky he's so patient?

Ewwww. Bin.

BirthdayRainbow · 28/09/2024 20:56

Bin him. He's already pushing against your boundaries and not respecting you. You're lucky he's so patient? Cheeky twat.

I know not the same but my first boyfriend was when we were both 15. He had to wait six weeks for a kiss and longer for anything else, yet he never once said a word about it. Even now he says everything at my pace.

That is the right response.

He has shown you exactly who he is, you asked nicely and he ignored and came straight back with more. Also URGH to you being lucky he is patient. It is great that he has shown you this side of him after only two dates, you can bin and walk away without having lost too much time. Trust me this side of him isn't going to change and it's not worth all the good points, next!

Ugh. I'd bin him for that. Look for someone more on your wavelength.

PickAChew · 28/09/2024 20:58

Throw him back. You've told him it makes you uncomfortable yet he persists. He has no regard for your boundaries.

BrightYellowStar · 28/09/2024 20:58

The fact you are even asking on here worries me.

You need to seriously raise your bar. Do not settle - value yourself better!

Ethylred · 28/09/2024 20:58

You have different views of what, when and where sex is in a relationship. You should both move on.

Comedycook · 28/09/2024 20:59

Don't waste anymore time on him.

Pinkbonbon · 28/09/2024 20:59

He's pushing boundaries to see what youll tolerate.

You told him no. He ignored the no and continued.

Everything else sounds too much too soon too. I know everyone dates differently but this sounds like a love bomber to me.

Also 'lucky hes so patient' yuck!!!

He's very bad news. Hes telling you your boundaries are not ok. Making out it's abnormal for men to be respectful of the normal time it takes to get to know you. He's trying to convince you it's not ok to say no or that you have to be ok with him going fast.

He'd a massive red flag op.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 28/09/2024 20:59

You just aren't suited at all.

ObieJoyful · 28/09/2024 21:01

I’d tell him you aren’t ready for this kind of talk and so you’re bowing out.

He needs to know that what he’s doing is unacceptable.

RaininSummer · 28/09/2024 21:01

He sounds like a one track minded sex pest. It would put me right off.

Pinkbonbon · 28/09/2024 21:01

TheYearOfSmallThings · 28/09/2024 20:59

Creepy weirdos like him generally aren't suited to anyone.

Emmanuelll · 28/09/2024 21:02

This is a big thing for an 'only' thing. You have to get rid of him.

powershowerforanhour · 28/09/2024 21:04

"He keeps saying it’s lucky he’s so patient."

Bin. Bin bin bin.

It's lucky he's patient cos if he wasn't then what what? He would dump you? He would rape you? Ugh.

You set the boundaries, he walked through them, so get rid.

Honestly a lot of people are hoping for sex when they go dating, especially after a month. Certainly he should have shut up when she told him to stop, but long before that it should have been obvious to both of them that they want different things

Grendell · 28/09/2024 21:07

Sex pest. Will not improve. Attention to Penis is his #1 priority.

Weekendsonly · 28/09/2024 21:07

Judging by his behaviour it’s possible he doesn’t want kids with you or anything. It sounds like he’s telling you what he wants to hear in an effort to speed things up on the physical side.

This may also be the reason he’s dating a woman a decade younger than him. Not saying that’s an outrageous age gap as I’ve dated men 7 years younger than me, but in some cases the older person is predatory and deliberately seeks out someone they see as younger and more naive than a partner closer to their age.

StMarieforme · 28/09/2024 21:09

He's a sexual bully who will never respect your boundaries or ensure he has your consent. Run!

IfYouLook · 28/09/2024 21:10

I’m no prude. At all. But sexual messages before you’ve actually had sex - and are at that level of intimacy are a hard no. He’s being disrespectful and not listening to you. Throw him back.

Pinkbonbon · 28/09/2024 21:10

Also op for future reference:

  • someone who you describe as 'perfect' at two dates in - most certainly is not!
  • similarly 'everything I've been looking for' ? Consider he might be 'love bombing' and 'future faking'.
  • speaking on the phone, messaging, voice notes (again live bomber alert) every day with a man you've only met twice? Yeah...don't. It's a bad idea all round. Narcissists do this shit to keep you constantly thinking of them. To Foster intimacy far too fast.
  • you have no idea if he wants marriage and kids. Men will say whatever you want to hear in the beginning. Only time shows the truth. Also, at 38 if he'd wanted marriage and kids...wouldn't he have done that already? (Of course some people don't until later but...something to consider).
  • you have no idea if he's anything like what he says because people can say anything online. You've only met him twice on person.
  • decent men don't bring up sex stuff just teo dates in. Let alone continue after being told not to.
username0489 · 28/09/2024 21:12

Tell him to fuck off and block him.

EVHead · 28/09/2024 21:13

Yuck. Fuck that. Dump!

I NEED to know what your secret is to be this wise. Great advice.
