Throwaway because some friends know my main. I need some honest advice because I'm feeling really uncomfortable and confused right now.
I (24F) blonde hair, blue eyes. I'm American but basically look like your stereotypical Nordic looking girl recently started seeing this really cute guy from my office (26M, South Asian background). At first everything seemed great. He's charming, attentive, has a nice smile, and we have a lot of the same nerdy interests like indie music, yoga and hiking.
But after a few dates, the compliments started getting... weird.
He keeps calling me his "Nordic queen" and says things like "Your blonde hair is so pure and golden, itโs like sunlight on snow." Or "Your blue eyes are like the ocean. I could get lost in them forever." Last night while we were making out he whispered that my "delicate pale skin" makes him feel like he's "finally touching European royalty and that he won in life."
It felt flattering at first but now it's making me cringe. I feel like heโs not dating me, but some fantasy version of a blonde Viking goddess. Like I'm his personal Nordic trophy or something. He even joked (I think it was a joke?) about how dating me is "upgrading his bloodline."
Is this fetishization? My friends are split. Some say "just enjoy the attention, girl," but others agree it sounds objectifying. I really like him otherwise, but this is starting to make me feel dehumanized.
