What to Do If Your Boyfriend is Talking to Other Girls; Should You Be Worried?

Dealing with a Flirty Guy

Marie Dubuque
So your boyfriend likes to flirt; is that such a big deal? Yes! Especially if his behavior is in any way undermining your relationship. It's fine if he wants to talk to other girls. You shouldn't be worried or upset. But if you see changes in your relationship, then the red flag needs to go up. If suddenly he seems distant and not really present when you're together, you need to sit down and have a talk....Not about the girls, but about you and him.

When to Call it Quits

If you are getting nowhere with him; and he still seems distant and not really himself when the two of you are alone, but he won't admit to any problem whatsoever, then take a break. Tell him you need some time apart. That you feel there is a change in him and you don't like it. That will give you both time to re-evaluate the relationship. Maybe give the separation three or four weeks. That should be enough time to figure things out. When you get back together and you see no change in his behavior, break up. That might sound harsh, but really, it's not. Put two and two together. He's distant with you, and he has this sudden urge to talk it up with the ladies. Remember, you don't ever want to find yourself competing with other girls. It's you or nothing. You must at all times be number one in his life.

He Realizes He Misses You

Say after the separation he realizes the error of his ways. He's back to his old self. He's really there for you and puts you first. Then kudos to you for putting this relationship back on track. But if you notice after a few months that your man begins to again detach himself from you and he's back to his old distant self, call it a day. You tried, and he is just not right for you. Because obviously this behavior is turning into a pattern. And you want no part of it. If you can't trust someone you're in a relationship with, and you are constantly worrying about what he is doing and who he is talking to when you're not around, it's time to move on.
