I've been dating my bf for almost 5 months and and his friend are kind of starting to get to me. They're actually my friends too, I met them before I met my bf, they introduced us. Before my bf and I started dating, they'd hit on me but in a cute flirty way. I was always fine with it cuz I thought it was all in good fun. This continued after my bf and I were official but I still just laughed it off. Now it's actually started to bother me. I'm not sure whether or not my bf knows they act this way but the comments have escalated and I'm not sure what to do. This is all talk btw, they would never do more than just talk. I'm not sure what to do because they are good friends of mine and they're my bf's best friends.
Tell them, that you want to be good friends, but they're not helping the situation, but actually making matters worse.
If they don't back off, then let your boyfriend know, and give him chance to tell them, that their behavior is unacceptable within the friendship that you all share.
Your boyfriend has the right to know, since you both share mutual friends.
Hopefully, they'll come to their senses and drop the whole "flirting game" and go back to being normal.
If it doesn't work, then they're not good friends. That can easily lead to a strain in your relationship with your boyfriend, as he wont be able to trust them when they're around you.

If he is trully in love with you and supports you then he will stand by your side and help you out. Then you need to either let him handle it, or you can both handle it together or you can talk to them on your own. I think they will take you more seriously if you two talk to them as a couple. It will keep you stronger to have that extra support. I just talked to my boyfriend and he said the same thing I am telling you. So that is two people who think this. Hope it goes well. Peace.
