It’s not intrinsically a problem. Lots of people can enjoy saucy photos, and even full-on porn and experience no negative effects on their relationships.

So is it a problem for you? That’ll vary from person to person. And only you can decide. If it is, know before hand where you draw the line. Any bikini pic or just sexualized ones? Is it just the liking or is the viewing a problem? What about porn? Remember to think about how you draw this line affects his life, banning him from seeing his sister’s beach vacation photos would be too much. Tell him you want to discuss y’all’s sexual media consumption and be ready for him to tell you what he’s not comfortable with you viewing either. And remember he can choose to walk away from the relationship over this, but that just means you’re not compatible.

I’m gonna be honest, if you’re not willing to handle someone not wanting a relationship with you in a mature way she made a fantastic decision. Furthermore, dating someone you’re not attracted to is never a regrettable choice. The alternative is to waste everyone’s time in a doomed relationship. Move on

What’s his engineering degree in? It’s not unusual for companies to have weird domain-specific engineering titles and for people to refer to themselves as a more general engineer. Was it production engineer on the title? Pay’s still suspicious if that’s gross or net without really high deductions set.

The phone grabbing’s more disturbing to me. How long have y’all been dating? Also no, not all men lie and you should shoot for better for yourself

There’s a good chance part of this is just you’re sexually frustrated, again.

Waiting for marriage comes with a real risk of finding out you’re not sexually compatible. If that risk isn’t worth whatever benefits you see in waiting for marriage, you’re not compatible.

Are you even interested in casual sex in general? People are all different and painting everyone and their relationships with a broad brush doesn’t work. Your gf needs to understand you’re a person with your own needs (that aren’t just sex with randos) and wants and you don’t see yourself wanting to branch out in a few years.

Doesn’t text you much when he’s out socializing with people and inviting a mixed gender group to his house isn’t necessarily a problem, but you’re the one who knows him and if he’s trustworthy. Are you getting a bad vibe because he’s given you a reason not to trust him or because you’ve had bad experiences with other people in the past?
