As of late, I just seemed to stop caring about my boyfriend because of all these stupid little things that he seems to do. The latest thing has been talking about other girls. In the past two weeks or so he's basically listed off every girl that's ever had a crush on him, or wants him, or a girl where there has been 'sexual tension' as he calls it. Just the other day he told me how smokin hot he thought our boss was. I just don't get it. Why is he telling me all this? I asked him about it and he said he's just being an idiot and apologized, but the thing is... he seems more excited by all these other girls than me. Am I over-reacting? Help please. I'm socially retarded. edited for quotations.

Honestly, I think you are doing the right thing.

If the guy has the insensitivity to act like that around you and not just his guy friends (technically one could argue he should not even act like that around him either, but guys sometimes act different when they are with other guys) than he really should be kicked to the curb.

That kind of happened to me before my last bf and I broke up. He kept syaing that there were all these girls that liked him better, but ever since we broke up, he hasn't stopped liking me. He's jealous that I like a new guy, and he's not even with another girl yet. I'm planning on making a move on this guy, but he's just holding back because he wants me back. I'm sooo not taking him back.

I think this could be one of 2 things. He is either feeling insecure about your relationship and how you feel about him or he is a total jerk. However if you know longer have feelings for him....you shouldn't be with him regardless of what his problem is.

hes doing this because he wants more (sexual) attention from you.

i think thats the statistically scientific explanation.

Funny thing is, the more attention I give him, the more of a douche he becomes...

Hmm I believe that means we are back to kicking him to the curb....

Have you asked him why he keeps saying these things?

Yeah. He said he doesn't know. He's just being an idiot, he says. =/

Hm. Sounds strange. He can't be saying those things about other girls without thinking about what he does.

And in my opinion, "being an idiot" isn't a good excuse. I just lost a long friendship because my ex-friend claimed he'd been an idiot, and hence refused to take responsibility for the bad things he'd done to me.

My boyfriend kind of does the same thing, only he informs me on how hot Jessica Alba is whenever we watch a movie with her in it. I don't really care because, well, she is hot and he doesn't go over the top.

Anyway my advice is, when he starts complimenting these girls, just respond with the same thing. If he says a girl is hot, tell him how hot you think some guy is. e.g. celebrity or random friend.

He might just get the message that you don't like it. Unless he is really thick ... or bisexual. haha
