Guys: is it normal for my boyfriend to get ego boost from other females?

[Anonymous]

Me and my boyfriend have been together for the longest time. He is just the perfect guy (loyal, sweet, funny and great). He is the one that loves to discuss our future together and is more crazy about me than I am about him. The only red flag for me is that he loves it when other girls hit on him, he almost thinks it is ok and tells me about it. I of course just say ok and brush it off... But for him it like a ego boost... I don't know. he just gets so happy (maybe he wants to show me that he still has "game") I'm just scared that I will not give him enough of that attention and ego boost so when he find someone that does than he runs with her..

What can I do? I just like to know

He needs to learn some things. When you're in a relationship with a girl you DON'T tell your girlfriend about HOW EXCITED YOU ARE THAT YOU GOT HIT ON BY OTHER GIRLS!. Only an inconsiderate idiot would do that. So you're in a relationship with an inconsiderate, insensitive idiot. What do you do?

I actually told him this. That I really don't care if he gets attention from girls or not. Just don't tell me. I never tell him when I get hit on or anything that happens between me and other guys. I know it would hurt his feelings

[TadCurious]

Exactly. You have emotional intelligence, and he doesn't.

Give him what he wants and be there for him and don't get jealous over the little things and like if you had a guy flirts with you he shouldn't get jealous either

Don't worry. Most men love attention from other women but I have found they never leave their girlfriends for the other woman

[Asker]

Sure? Cause I feel like I'm not doing enough for his confidence (compliments.. etc). I'm just scared that he will dump me for someone who does!

[misscocobutter]

No he's with you for a reason, otherwise he would've left you and pursued the other women. Seriously he has no intention of leaving you. He just needs the ego validation it has nothing to do with what you do or don't do

Can I ask what happened? I’m going through some thing very similar

I think everyone likes it when someone attractive hits on them.
