There is a man that I like very much. He lives far away and is at the moment to old for me but he is definitely a possibility for the future. The only problem is that while I am a virgin and I have never been in love or even kissed someone, he is not a virgin and he has been in love.

Usually this doesn't bother me because I don't think about it. As far as I know he has only been in love once, and I am friends with that girl and she knows my feelings for him and hasn't shot me down. But sometimes, he'll just mention something about how he knows a certain position is hard, or another is easy or feels better, and it really upsets me. I guess it's not so much knowing he's had sex that bothers me, but the fact that I know more specifics. However, if I tell him to stop talking about it, he will as he doesn't want to hurt me and he doesn't talk about his past relationships usually unless I ask, which I've learned not to. He also doesn't like hearing about when I hang out with other guys, though he wouldn't tell me to stop if I did.

I guess my question is: Is it unreasonable to ask him to stop when he talks about it? I always feel like I'm being a jealous girl, especially because we technically aren't even dating and he never asks me to stop when I talk about guys (even though I'm not interested in any of them.)

Thankyou for you're answers, I'm used to be worried that I wouldn't be good enough in bed if we did get to that point, but he's told me not to worry about that, I really don't know why knowing bothers me as I have had feelings for other guys as well, even if they haven't been full on love.

Thanks again!

Spades agony auntUnder the normal circumstances, It is completely reasonably to ask one to stop talking about their past relationships. But in this case I think it would depend on your relationship status with this man.
