Worried I'm not posh or rich enough for him.

I'm seeing someone that I really like and he seems to be really into me as well.
He has a great job and I work a minimum wage job, I also live in a housing association house.
I know he comes from quite a posh background. I'm just worried he will judge me for this or will decide that I'm not for him.
We are getting on great but I just feel intimidated by him in a class sort of sense and I hate feeling like this as he has done nothing to make me feel this way. He is so lovely.
Don't know what I'm asking here , I guess I'm just s bit embarrassed for him to come to my house even thought it's in a nice street etc.

You are good enough as you are.

Being described as posh is somehow cringe inducing, I recommend that you don’t use that word around him. It’s all relative and no one, probably not even King Charles thinks of themselves as posh.

You shouldn't feel like that, he's not better than you because he's been more fortunate in the money sense.

Yabu to worry.

Posh is a really cringey word. Please don’t use it!
We are a solid Middle Class family but with absolutely no extra cash , mortgage paid etc .All children well educated and good upbringing . Son’s partner comes from an extremely wealthy family,educated at a top private school and generally a privileged background. She absolutely loves coming and spending time at our house and enjoys our company.Her family love and admire my son and he has never felt uncomfortable in their company.
It's all about how you present yourself and not your background.
