there are several things to know before answering this question, so i'll pose them for you:
has your boyfriend ever cheated on you? is he loving toward you, cares about how you feel? do you trust him?
has this girl been friends with him longer, or befriended him before your relationship?
i have plenty of good, healthy male friendships- but there is nothing worse than losing a good friendship because of a jealous or distrusting girlfriend. if she isn't bitchy towards you, extend YOUR friendship to her, too. if she isn't out to steal him away, and you haven't been straight up rude towards her because of your trust issues, she might be overjoyed to befriend the girlfriend of a good friend. i know i always am. there's always an air of tension between female friends and the girlfriends of their friends... until they bring it out into the open and relax.
if you decide to trust him, and you love this man, trust him fully. if you want to deal with your jealousy, get to know this girl and really think about how she feels. relating to other women is how we deal with each other! lol

We'd need to know why you don't trust him. Because whatever the reason, that is the problem you have to address and come to terms with.
