Are you trying to impress him, or do you feel like he is sufficiently impressed and you need to impress others?
In most cases, if a guy is getting possessive, he feels like you are slipping away from him. It isn't necessarily about control, but he wants to be the person you want to impress. He feels threatened.
If a man spends time telling a woman she looks beautiful; eventually he tells her that even when she's having an off day. Such is the nature of attraction and relationships.
If he says you look great in pyjamas, he'll mean it, but he'll still be upset when you dress up and do your makeup when you go out with other friends.
If you feel like he's smothering you, tell him that. You're allowed to have your own freedom.
But still, not only will you be his number one, he'll want himself to be your number one.
Be careful. A lot of guys get attached to women very easily.
Some, if not a majority, of guys complain when their woman does the exact same thing she gets jelly if the guy has friends who are women or talks to other women. So I think, to be fair, both sexes get protective quite easily. But it also depends on the attractiveness of each partner. If the woman is really good looking (good for that him, lol) then of course she's going to get attention from other guys, and her man would be well aware of that. Same goes if a woman knows her man is very attractive to other women. So, window shopping from others, is unfortunately the price couples must pay. Other people are going to look at them, even if they see they are already taken. Hence I enjoy the single life. I am free from paranoia that faces a man even if he's lucky enough to score the most beautiful looking face, he's gonna be constantly on his guard. Sucks to be him.
People get jealous in relationships. It’s normal, a normal human feeling. It doesn’t mean anything but that you have feelings. You don’t have to be insecure. I know I get jealous but I’m not insecure

I struggle with jealousy all the time. But for me it's coming from good intentions that go too far. When I would see a girl I cared about having fun and being happy with some other guy it's not a big deal. But two variables can make them (and me) jealous the first being that they want more from you. They want a relationship or something another guy has. It might be as simple as you liking their sense of humor or appreciating something about them that you appreciate on someone else. Sometimes guys just want to be the most important thing in peoples lives. Whether they know it or not that's an ill fated desire.
Well if you arnt dating then the reason this guy friend is protective over you is probably because you haven't made it Crystal clear there is nothing going on between you and he probs likes you. If he is genuine about being your friend its because he is a guy and all guys know what guys want, and he does it cause he doesn't want to see you get messed around by an asshole.
It all comes down to self esteem. If a guy is possessive, it means he feels you're out of his league, and so will try in his own way to make sure you don't meet a "better looking guy".
That's what it basically is.
Just the fact that there is an attractive girl that could potentially be a life partner is enough to bring out the primal instincts of a guy to make them territorial. "I saw her first therefore she is mine" and "My property, hands off" are the subconsious montras of all guys. It sucks and it is genetic (very difficult to control). Despite myself not ever having a girlfriend before, I am all too familiar with this feeling.
Every thing about her and who she is would be all mine. Possessive and Protective.
Simple really.
I'd never let her go if I loved and cared about her a lot.
I'd be jealous/ angry if she was looking/ checking out other guys tho...
Would make me more insecure...
Either a guy is a prone to jealousy and possessiveness or he is not. I tend to think that insecurity has a lot to do with it.
Because there is always a chance that you will start dating the other guy and completely ignore the one.
I usually don't get jealous until she starts fucking him... lol.😂
No way id settle for a girl that makes me feel negative jealous is a shit feeling kick that shit to the kurb i say
I can get jealous but id never be a weirdo im not gonna show it or trip at all lol thats weirdo ish but if u givin it up that could be why
If he thinks you're gonna leave him for someone else.
I actually think possessivity is toxic, and for idiots. Intelligent people who trust their partners won't be toxic to them, at least about possessivity. I do think so.
Lack of confidence that such and such girl won't run off for a 'better man'
If other guys are flirting and she's laughing at how charming / loud they are. Also fight the urge to rip his dick off
I look better than him
From experience again i can be like that but its because I've been cheated on a lot
human nature and insecurities
immaturity and insecurity
His insecurity.
the fear of losing them
