15/f
okay so me and my boyfriend have been going out for three and a half weeks. and i have a lot of guy friends way more than girl friends. i'm always hugging my guy friends just as a nice gesture you know? Then with my bf i never see him hugging other girls. so sometimes i feel awkward when i hug my friends and he's there.
he's a sophmore on the JV football team and like today i met this new guy "d" and he's a junior on the Varsity football team. we're just friends. then when i was waiting for my boyfriend "T". d came up right before t could hug me d did because he was closer. And when i saw my boyfriend's face he was starring like what the heck? i don't think it was in a "you just stole my hug" thing but rather like he was a lil intimidated and jealous. He's given this look before so it's not that new.
I'm just wondering if i should i talk to him about it or just let it blow over.
thank you =]

Let him know that you don't see anything more in these guys than you do in your girl friends (unless, of course, you are bi and interested in the girls too, but somehow I don't think that is the case here). Tell him that you understand if he worries that it is more, but that he is the only one you want and there is nothing these other guys can do to change that. You are just an affectionate person with your friends and it isn't anything more than platonic. Then kiss him passionately, smile coyly, and say "you're the only one who gets that." That tends to help. [ blwinteler's advice column | Ask blwinteler A Question ]

He's more than likely feeling insecure and wondering why they're getting so much attention from you, as he may be feeling that he gets little attention or a smaller amount than the other guys get.
