When your girlfriend gets very close with another guy, play fights/chases him around, and constantly jokes with him, how should you react?

Its at a point where people we know make comments about how close they are such as “Aww you two having alone time”? Or “you two having fun over there?” Anytime they’re joking amongst themselves

Its your girlfriend, give her a kiss on the cheek or a short hug or laying your hands on her shoulder or waist. "Claim" her and talk to them a bit before you leave. she's your girl you just gotta project that to her and that guy from time to time just dont cling on them.

If she's doing thinks with him, that makes you uncomfortable like getting to touchy etc its fine to talk to her about it after the party or during the event if its extreme. Saying it directly is the last resort by the way, if she doesn't respect it afterwards she doesn't respect you as a partner.

I wouldn’t be okay with my girlfriend doing that. We’re okay with friends of the opposite gender to an extent, but that kind of playfulness and closeness is off limits.

I would react by being somewhat angry, but I wouldn’t blow up on her. I would just firmly tell her she’s taking the friendship too far and it doesn’t make me feel good.

If she dismisses your feelings as petty insecurity, that’s a red flag in my opinion.
