writes:MY girlfriend and I have been best friends for over 5 years, though we only really started seriously dating last March. I am in college about an hour away, and she is in her senior year in high school. Recently, this guy we both know suddenly started taking an interest in her. He invites her to his house, offers to take her places, 'flirts' with her online, and is starting to make me uneasy. I am secure enough to trust her, but that doesn't help with how this new situation is making me feel. What, if anything, should I do?P.S. I am considering sending the guy a non-threatening 'back off' message.

reader, anonymous, writes (1 February 2008): It's really important here, I think, to tell your girlfriend exactly how you feel. Tell her you totally trust her and everything, but you're not happy about how he's acting. If she's been your best friend for 5 years, then surely you can talk easily about anything now? That's what being a best friend is all about. Talking freely is the key element of any relationship.
And it would be a good idea to send him message, presumably an email, or on msn? But I disagree with hello1 - he shouldn't laugh at all! Why would anyone laugh. That would just be down-right nasty.

 No, don't show him you care. He may just laugh at you. Tell your g/f how you feel, she's the one you should be worried about, there will always be more guys.
