Opinions about liking pictures of other girls?

[Anonymous]

This seems to be a popular question nowadays. Anyways, I don't know if I should call him my boyfriend since we're not in a relationship but we like each other a lot and we are openly dating. It hasn't been for that long so I don't feel like I can get too jealous about this but I can't help it. This barley happens but sometimes he likes picture of other girls that he knows. Maybe they're just his friends but I don't see why he keeps liking pictures of other pretty girls and this particular girl. I think I'm overreacting but honestly, what does it mean? I feel like it's a way of saying that you find someone attractive especially if they look hot. He doesn't know that I know but I do. I don't want to be seen as a crazy chick but I can't make up my mind whetever this is right or wrong?

Okay, please do not take this wrong- because I am going to be brutally honest with you for a moment. You clearly stated above that you two are not dating AND that you are in an open relationship. I am not too sure which is worse, but that's not my situation. An open relationship is just that. Open. You can do whatever you want with whomever you want and he can do the same. Meaning that if you agreed to that open relationship to begin with then you shouldn't be getting jealous of him liking other girls photos. Even if they aren't his friends. And since you stated that you two are not dating, you really have no room to be upset about it at all. Until he asks you to be his girlfriend, you have absolutely no say in what he does or who he talks to. Now, there are a couple options on what you can do. You can either, A) Walk away from the situation entirely because an open relationship is NOT healthy, especially if you want more than what he has to offer. OR B) You can try to ride it out and see where it goes. But chances are, you are in this on a much deeper level than he is. But you also have to remember that him liking someone else's picture is not a crime. Dating or not. I like other guys photos, even while being 100% committed to my boyfriend and he does the same with other women's photos. Its all about trust.

A like means absolutely nothing. And even if he is seeing this girl that he's liking her posts you two aren't dating which means you don't really have any type of claim on each other and he can kind of do whatever he wants without thinking of your fling first.

We are dating.

Openly dating. You're not in a committed relationship yet is what I mean.

It means they are pretty. Let it be. He isn't doing anything wrong.

It's just a like, I don't see the big deal.
