My boyfriend sits by like all girls in most of his classes, and he always seems to be flirtin with them. It also doesnt help that they're prettier than me. I was wondering if it's normal to feel jealous about this, and if so what should i do? I already tried talking to him about it, and he just kind of blew the subject off saying 'o no we werent flirting', evne though it looked like him and the girls were. Help please!

KatLynn answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 6:49 pm: Yeah it is normal to be jealous. You many think you're the hottest girl in the world but when you see your guy surrounded by girls, you're bound be be a little jealous. But you do need to remember that a little flirting is OKAY. Guys are aloud to flirt with other girls even if they are in a relationship. Same with girls, it's okay if you flirt with other guys too. But, if it bothers you that much then tell him. And if he tells you that he isn't flirting again then tell him that it bothers you that he acts so 'friendly' towards other girls. [ KatLynn's advice column | Ask KatLynn A Question ]

iHeartU4eva answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 6:29 pm: Well to me it seems like you just may be stressing a little. I mean i would say it's normal if you boyfriend even just talks to another girl you get kind of...well you know curious or jealous. i'm most certinaly NOT saying your jelous i just think that maybe if you just worry about your guys relationship and let him talk to girls and you can talk to boys also. having a boyfriend doesn't mean you can't talk to other guys. now if he starts getting really flirty then come back on advicenators and ask another question to me and i'll me glad to help you!

lilstrumiexox answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 6:24 pm: well of course its normal to be feeling this way. but if you tried to talk about it and he blew it off, then there is obviously something that he doesn't want you to know. confront him again and tell him that if he doesnt listen to you then its over. tell him that if he wants other girls to be in his life, then you wont!!!!!

xomegaroni answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 6:13 pm: totally normal to be jealous. hmm..idk guys do that sometimes. it really depends on what hes like though. since you already tried talking to him and he blew off the subject, it might be a sign that he really was flirting, sorry to say. if i were you, try bringing it up one more time saying you don't really appreciate how he acts with other girls. it might be harmless to him, but probably not to you. maybe you should ask the girls? i think your friends can help you on this one, er maybe his. if he doesn't seem to talk about it much, er pushes it aside, you need to try and see it his way, and maybe express how you feel by telling him you don't like it and you really think it is flirting. if all that fails, then maybe you need to break it off. if he wants to be with you though, he'll explain it. i wouldn't worry.
x_pink_x109 answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 5:53 pm: Hey!
It is normal to feel like your boyfriend is COMPLETELY rejecting you by maybe talking/flirting with another girl. Lets face it... boys are flirts and there's NOTHING we can do about it.
What I do when MY boyfriend flirts with other girls is I ASK those girls if they think he WAS flirting, then I confront my boyfriend aboyfriend about the issue.
Your boyfriend still loves you but he justs likes to flirt. Sometimes, guys AND MOSTLY GIRLS flirt only to be nice. That's sometimes what I do, if a REALLY cute guy is hitting on me, even though I already have a girlfriend.
This may seem like it doesn't help much but that is what I do and USUALLY it works. I can't guarentee that it works but usually, it does. I know you're kind of suspicious about this... DON'T BE! Men are pigs... they have to get what they want (which is usually sex, if you're older) or they aren't satisfied with what they have.
Here is what your boyfriend is most likely thinking: He wants to flirt and give signs that he likes that girl and if she gives signs BACK, he knows she likes him. Therefore, if he breaks up with you, he'll have another girlfriend soon after.
I know this kind of sucks but that's the way men think. Women are more into LOVE and ROMANCE but guys aren't. Now, I'm not being stereotype because there are A LOT of guys who would KILL THEMSELVES for their girlfriends. They are the kind of guys that don't even LOOK at other women, except you. My point is not all guys are interested in looks or a great body. Some are more interested in you as a person.
You might be thinking this has nothing to do with your boyfriend but it does. Your boyfriend is not like the one who cares about only love and who plans to stay with you for as long as he can. He is, unfortunately, the kind of guy who moves from girl to girl. He has to get backup for if he breaks up with you.
Talk to him about this again and tell him that you love him and you want to be with him and he doesn't want to be with you, speak up because you are sick of him flirting with other girls and not with you. Tell him that if he really wants to be with you, he has to love you and care for you, and you will do the same for him. Tell him that you love him and you want this relationship to work but if he can't respect you and love you (like you are supposed to in an intimate relationship) than he needs to get himself together and realize that he doesn't know what he's missin' out on.
Just because those girls have their nails done and their done or whatever doesn't mean that they're prettier than you. You are prettier than them on the outside and on the inside. I bet if YOU saw someone elses boyfriend flirting with you, you wouldn't flirt back. That's because you don't want to hurt his girlfriend and YOU KNOW how it feels to feel like she would, right? You are better than those girls, no matter what they say or how they look!

orphans answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 5:51 pm: well honey, when boys say that they werent doing something they usually were doing it. but you need to sit him down and talk firmly and say were you flirting or no? then say dont blow me off like you did last time. look at him with a staight face and dont whine! but just to let you know boys do have friends that are girls so you know he will talk to them. other than that just spend more time wih him and it will be all good!

ViTaChaN answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 5:39 pm: Yes, it's so normal. You're his girlfriend, right? Hmm.. I think your boyfriend doesn't feel like he's flirting with other girl, or maybe he's trying to make you jealous. So, you should tell him that you don't really feel comfortable of the way he flirts/ talks to girl <or anything> Hope I helped!
karenR answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 5:28 pm: Yes it is normal to be jealous. He probably means nothing by it though. He may not even realize what hes doing is flirting. Try not to let it bother you to much, if hes a real flirty guy he probably won't stop. That doesn't mean he feels different toward you though, or even that he likes the other girls. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
