Does boyfriend want to show me off or what is this about?

[Anonymous]

We’re going to a family function of his as a couple for the first time. He asked me do I have a nice dress, and a few days later he mentioned the dress again out of the blue and asked what does it look like. We’re going to meet his extended family as well as some other acquaintances of his. Does he want to show me off to people or why this interest in the dress?

He wants you to look nice and dress for the occasion. If you want to spin that into 'showing you off' that's pretty unrelated, but that's what girls do.

Yes I think so, so where something that really looks nice on you.

How long have you been a couple?

[Asker]

19 months

[Tunasub]

And you've never worn a nice dress in 19 months?

[Asker]

I have, but I haven’t met most of these people before

[Tunasub]

But your boyfriend hasn't seen this dress either?

[Asker]

He has, but I don’t wear dresses often and apparently he wants me to look extra good for this event

[Tunasub]

Well then he want to show you off
