writes: What does it mean when your boyfriend flirts with other women? I love my boyfriend a lot and he's a great guy. The thing is, I don't really like the way he talks with other women and the way he is with other women. He's very flirty with them. I got very upset when I found out he was talking to another woman online and they both were being flirty. He says he loves me and only me, and that he's just trying to be nice to the girls who talk to him and doesn't really see it as flirting, but I do see it that way. Why does he flirt with them though?

Asking a guy not to be flirty is like asking a girl not to make up herself. These actions help people feeling attractive (insecurity is a strong feeling, both for men and women), smart, young, healthy. That's the same ! Indeed, when in couple, men should end that "bad habit" to trying to charm every pretty girl while a woman should lose her feeling to have to make up her face, as she has already "trapped" her man and do not want one more male in her bed (usually speaking). But we all know how it is...That said, if your boyfriend keeps flirting too far, it's to say up to the point he is not far from being about to date a girl, that's a big NO-NO ! Everything has its limits ! Or is it that he treats you like a rebound ? Anyway, he has to be more courteous while you are his girlfriend, it's un-negotiable.

He is flirting online, so he will believe, or pretend to believe, that it is harmless. Well it isnt.
The first thing that comes to mind, from your short explanation, is he has no respect for you or your feelings. He needs a taste of his own medicine.

You have two options here, in my opinion.
First choice is to talk to him about this and go through all the issues you have with the way he behaves and why it hurts you. This will allow him to understand how you feel and not like you're having a go at him or 'nagging' in any way.
Second option would be to behave with other men the way that he has with other women. See how he likes it. He probably wouldn't know how it would feel unless he was in your situation.
Hope it all works out!!
