<p>
Maybe he thinks that French guys are so alluring, and that you're so godawful hot, that neither of you will be able to resist one another. ;) It CAN be a form of flattery.
<p>
Ask him to exactly define his concerns about your friendship with this other boy. Does he think you'll be seduced and leave him? Does he think he'll inevitably get hurt if you keep talking to other guys?
<p>
Listen to his answers and be considerate; but don't drop your own ideals in the process. If you're unlucky enough to have been stuck with a true control-freak, you need to end the relationship.
<p>
But since the other guy-friend is sweet, male, and most of all, French, I think your boy is probably just feeling insecure. [ yumiko's advice column | Ask yumiko A Question ]

Some of the comments said below are ptretty asinine and incorect, there isn't anything more wrong with French people than American people. But anyway, if your boyfriend is going to dump you because you talk to some guy on the internet that poses no threat to your relationship what-so-ever, I think it is time you found yourself a new boyfriend. This one sounds rather controlling and obnoxious, from the limited information I was given. [ TheGovernor's advice column | Ask TheGovernor A Question ]

Better yet, dump the jerk, since he's willing to dump you over such a ridiculous thing. Move on to something better. TIME FOR AN UPGRADE. [ MoonFisher's advice column | Ask MoonFisher A Question ]
MaxwellsSilverHammer answered Friday September 17 2004, 12:39 am: A lot of men are insecure about their girlfriend or wife talking to another man, even if it's entirely platonic or even work/business.
Before you break off contact with the French man, sit down and talk with your boyfriend about it: About why he doesn't want you talking to him...don't let him give you some BS angry answer, let him give you an honest and straight one.
If he makes some good points, then break off contact with the French person.
If he doesn't, well, how long have you been together?
If you truely value your relationship with your boyfriend, then don't talk to the French person.
But do make a note of it, if it happens to often you have something to seriously think about.
WidowMaker answered Thursday September 16 2004, 10:36 pm: Don't talk to him. The french aren't worth it anyway, he'll just end up getting you smashed off of cheap whine, knock you up when you are asleep, and then give cigarettes to your baby.
