How to deal with a popular boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is flirted with constantly. He's had a lot of girlfriends before me. He is only my second boyfriend (pathetic I know?) I get jealous whenever he wants to hang out with his best friend (whom he told her she loved her this past summer) ugh. what do I do?

Yeah I know exactly how you feel. Even though I was my boyfriends first girlfriend... he had a little bit of a past with girls.. (still grosses me out) and he is certainly mr. popular.. but I did things the wrong way. I was really insecure about things with him since I thought he could get prettier girls than me and all that. But you have to be confident. Wear something that gives you an extra oomph one day and basically let him know that your a tenn and act very confident about it even if you arent. Don't act like a snob but drop hints that your a girl that's worth it. It worked on my boyfriend. But be careful, popular guys are common douchebags so don't do too much for him if you aren't getting much in return. =)

I would confront him about it to make sure they really are just friends and to make sure he doesn't still have feelings for her because if he does then he would be lying to you and that's bad. Have self confidence. Show him what you are all about and that you care.
