It sounds like what you are questioning is whether, given your differences in backgrounds, he can maintain your interest. My advice is to date him a while longer and see what happens. You can find out one way or the other before you decide one way of the other.

I think she meant “fixer upper” in terms of not standing firmly on his two feet in his age. In the US line cooks make only a bit more than minimum wages and he is already 40. If i cohabitated or married someone who makes that little, I’d have to support him or totally give up my life style. I am not materialistic but I always think if I want to take someone on and support him/her, I’d do it for someone I already know or related to, not a stranger. That’s maybe what she is thinking. I might be wrong of course
