writes:My new-ish boyfriend is really flirty with other girls. He's always been like that but ever since we have been dating the green monster of jealousy has been getting the best of me. He's a really funny guy and he likes to joke around but its always a bit over the top, and with the same four or five girls. I have no idea if i should let it go, or talk to him. I know if i choose to talk to him our relationship will be really awkward though. What do i do?

Just mention quite lightly that he seems to be flirty around other girls, and that it's starting to bother you. If he picks up on the fact that you're bothered, he should care about you, and carry on the conversation and not back out. All you can do, is do your best to innitiate the conversation and keep it going. He's probably just being friendly to them, but as you're his girlfriend, it's natural to feel jealousy. I still do, when my long term boyfriend's around other girls!
Just keep the conversation nice, and not accusatory, and hopefully you'll see a change in the way he acts around them. Good luck! :]

 In the first place, it is those qualities in him that attracted you to him.He is that way and he may not be able to change or give up those habits of his. In time , he may slow down because he needs to respect you.
If he is single , it is OK. But when he has a steady g/f , he should tone down or give up for the sake of your relationship. You should also tame your jealousy and have more trust in him.
