Guy I’m dating just said he wants to be celibate…

So I (22F) have been talking to this guy (23M) I met on bumble for 2 months. He is in a great career field, super smart and ambitious, and very good looking. We’re also both new grads from out of state who are looking for long-term relationships. The only thing about him that I’ve struggled to get used to was how much he yaps/nerds out. From our first conversation, he would yap and yap about his job or philosophical questions or bill gates or how great the Amazon business model is. I’m an introvert and prefer to listen to people so I didn’t mind it at first. But then I quickly began to feel worn out bc it became too much. It seemed like he had an opinion for everything and he even said part of what he’s looking for in a partner is someone to have deep, life-changing conversations with. He’d also never ask me questions about myself but would wait for me to engage him so he could talk more. Or he’ll ask me questions because he wants to answer it so he’ll wait for me to be like “what about you?” and then go on and on.

Yesterday he took me out which was nice as we hadn’t seen each other in about a week and a half. We went on a really nice scenic walk and then in the evening, he took me out to this ice cream place which was the first place we’d met. Honestly I thought he was about to ask me to be his gf bc he started off with asking me how I’ve felt about our 2 months together which I told him I’d had a good time. He then asked in the event that I ever wanted to end things with him, how would I do it? I thought it was a weird question but said I’d just be straightforward. He then finally dropped the bomb: that he wanted to be celibate.

Now this conversation wasn’t new bc the first time we almost hooked up (which he initiated), he paused and then went on a whole rant abt how he wants to actually abstain from sex and how humans don’t inherently need sex and he wants to prove it by abstaining blah blah blah. In my head I’m like, are we fucking or not?😀 We eventually did start sleeping with each other - however, whenever we did, he’d finish in 10 seconds and then say he was tired. He would make absolutely zero effort to make sure I finished from sex so I could tell he wasn’t into it at all. I sometimes would ask if he’d be down to go two rounds which he only agreed to once.

Anyways back to the present, he essentially said he did some thinking over the break and wants to gain more discipline and self-control by cutting out sex. He explained to me why it was necessary for an hour and half and why it’s the lack of discipline around sex that causes men to cheat in marriages. He made it seem like this a really good thing for him to do. He’s the second guy I’ve slept with in my life so while im not very experienced, I’d like to think not having sex is not a deal breaker. But I wondered if this a sign to let him go. It’s funny bc most times we had sex, he initiated it lol.

Anyways wondering if it’s time to let this guy go? I told him I would get back to him on how I feel and honestly thought I would end up telling him it was fine if we abstain. But we’re also not even in a relationship so I don’t know if he deserves that commitment from me. Would you guys go celibate for someone you just met? I really wish he put celibacy on his bumble profile to avoid this mess. I think my fear of letting him go is that idk if I’ll meet someone else. I’m alone in a big city and while I have a great career and ambitions etc, I’m scared to end up alone. Don’t know if I should just settle. Need some advice…🥺
