No, it's not weird if a man likes you a lot.

You probably need to honestly evaluate whether you like him too.

maybe he still lives with them, and wants to break the ice early

So I guess I can pretty much say that it's a semi-red flag, a normal 26 year old male would not show someone he just started casually talking to, pics of his family that soon. Because he sent me pics of his family, and showed me family photos, I felt compelled to show him pics of my family as well. I just showed him pictures of my sister, and dad, and I did show him recently a picture of my son(to which he said "aw he's good looking, etc". I don't know, I guess it was weird moves on both of our parts lol.

look at it this way at least he did not anthony weiner you

Lmao. I think this generation sees everything as a twitter snap shot event. They want to capture every moment in their lives and share it. He sent me pictures of what he eat for dinner. He sent me a pic yesterday of a jacket he bought for his 11 year old sister. Last week he sent me pics of him topless and asked if I thought he was meso-ecto or ecto-meso. I just think some ppl really are vain and want to take pics of everything even petty stuff and post it on either twitter, facebook, or I guess in a texts.

I do this if I like someone and am with them too. I just like to share. I am not on facebook or twitter though. I don't post stuff to the public or if am not with the guy though.

It depends on the parties involved.

I met my boyfriend's father after a couple weeks. I was supposed to meet his brother, too, but he was out at the time. His brother has asked about meeting me from the beginning. He also met my kids very early on. However, we weren't "dating" or anything like that from the beginning. We were together. If I'm legit interested in someone, or where there's mutual interest and objectives, there is no "dating."

I'm 29 and he's 38.

With my last partner, I'm sure I would have met his parents early on had it not been for the distance. I "met" his kids via Skype the day we met. I Skyped with his parents within the first month, I believe. He's 40.

Unless these are pictures depicting a story he was telling you about in a conversation, I think it's weird for him to show you pics of his family. I think it might be different if was his kids pics but his siblings and parents? What's the point unless it was a picture with some story to attached to it.

I also think it is not a good sign that he WANTS you yto meet his siblings right away. Wait. First, how long is "just started dating"? I was thinking maybe two weeks but you could mean two months. If it is two weeks, I would be skeptical. He sounds like he is part of an enmeshed family where everyone needs everyone's else's approval, etc.

It's been a month. And when he sent me the pics of his family, he was just like "I'm going to meet up with my family for breakfast downtown" and then sent me a pic. Last week I had asked him how he was in highschool
And college in terms of personality, and that's when he showed me pics of him in college and hs. He also showed me his brother and sister and pics of him when he was a kid and then even showed me a pic of him as a baby naked with his member exposed but with a blooper over it and he was just like "yeah that's the type of kid I was".

So I think maybe its just like twitter to him lol. I'm not a pics person so to me it's odd but now that I think about facebook and twitter and the amount of people that post pics of themselves doing the most minor things, I think that's how he sees it.
