When someone constantly says/writes things about their new boyfriend/girlfriend, is there anyway to tell that they're really just excited or if they feel insecure and just want to make people jealous?

Unless the person has a history of trying to make people feel jealous or being very insecure, I doubt that they are going on and on about their significant other just to be spiteful. Don't you remember when you really liked someone? How you felt like telling anyone who would listen how gorgeous their eyes are, or a sweet thing they said to you, or how nice they smell? Ok well maybe that's just me, but trust me, the person most likely has no ulterior motives, it's just a part of this love business.

Dear Just Wondering,
You can never be positive, but there are ways that you can make educated guesses. Most of the time, if they are simply excited, they will tell about things that have actually happened between the two of them. You can usually tell if they are trying to make others jealous if they say things comparing their boyfriend/girlfriend to other people's boyfriends/girlfriends, and if they try to make their guy or girl sound superior. Most of the time, if they are telling other people about him/her, they might not be only aiming to make people jealous, but there is usually a little bit of everyone that wants to be envied.

Dear I Wonder,
This is an odd question. Why do you care if they are trying to make you jealous or not? They are better than you, and so is their date, so get over it. Why don't you go out, snag a guy/girl off the street, and go online and pretend they are the person of your dreams. Then, when that other person comes here and asks the same question, I can save a lot of time and just copy and paste the answer into their reply box, and pretend that I care.

It's hard to tell. Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's the other, and sometimes it's a combination of both. If the person is really smiley and excited, chances are it's the first. If they're smug and snobby about it, it's def. the second.

Well I guess that they are so exited they feel that they need to make someone feel jealous. Im not to fond of those people.

It could meen a bit of both, some people get really excited and carried away sometimes, otheres just want to brag.
