Q: be prepared, its a bit long.


my boyfriend have been going out for about 5 months. he's amazing. it was actually one of those best friends for life, turned love, things er whatever. but the thing is: he has jealousy issues like no other. he always tells me that guys are flirting with me, and he doesn't like it. i admit, i do flirt with guys, but its my nature. i grew up with guys. and i dont see flirting like most people do. i know its bad, but i cant seem to get it through my boyfriend's head that i only like him. and not anyone else. i try to explain i dont mean to flirt. but he just says 'okay' in that sarcastic, i know he's lying sort of way. and to top it all off. he 'flirts' with other girls too. if he wants to say that i do. but i know he doesnt mean it.

[bt the way, "flirting" in the sense. would be me pushing a guy. or pretending to throw him in the water. or the definition of childish flirting. i'm not even talking about like, kissing other guys or anything]

..and i definitly don't want to screw things up with the one guy that i dont have any problems with [well, besdies this].


so, im asking.
could anyone give advice on how i could possibly.
try to stop "flirting" with people.
or how to get it through his head, that i dont mean to.
because i think he only partially believes me.
Let him know that hes special, and that hes something set apart from all those other guys...that doesnt mean you have to ignore all other guys, just that, say, when your kidding around with other guys and your bf shows up, or after your done talking to the other guys, go over and kiss him, or cuddle, or tell him you love him or whatever you think will let him know that even though you know other guys, that he is YOUR guy, and that hes the only one. that hes special to you. introduce him to people as your boyfriend. dont be scared to kiss him in front of your friends (guys or not). just constantly remind him that he is something special to you, and that he has nothing to be jealous of the other guys about.

thanks. :)
