jealousy
Posted: 05-02-08 10:18am

Ok, i am talking to a guy that i go to school with, but we are not in a serious relationship cause we both feel like right now is not the time. what i mean by talking is, we hang out at school (hold hands sumtimes, hug, and before we go home we kiss.), we hang out outside of school mostly on wknd & spend hours on the fne together throughout the wk. So were pretty much going out, but its not really serious..... Just wanted to make that clear. Aywys, I have noticed that we are both jealous... Ive always noticed he is jealous even when we were jus friends. It dosnt bother me cause he dosnt take it too far. Hes only said anythin about it like 2 or 3 time, but you can easily tell by his reaction that he get jealous if another guy comes up to me and hugs me or talks to me... Now here is the thing that my post is mostly about.....
ME! He is a tall 6'4", fit, built, popular black guy and in my book he is really sexy! Well i get so jealous when girls flirt with him, or he's talking to a girl and she makes him smile and laugh. O gosh it makes me jealous. I have never, never said anything to him about it, cause im jus not that kinda person and he never reallys goes out of line, but a couple time i think he knows i got jealous cause i just got really quiet and didnt want to talk. He is also a big flirt with everyone, its just his personality. I for real HATE when girls are flirting with him..... Idk, I really care about him & I just feel like he belongs to me & i dnt want no1 else to have him...

So i want to know have any of you girls ever felt this way with your bfs and how did you control it and is this normal?

Thanks for any replys.

So are you boyfriend and girflfriend? Isnt that serious to where you are only with each other? If you were only dating then you both could see who ever you wanted to see.

But how old are you? Are you still in high school?

If you are boyfriend and girlfriend then neither of you should be flirting with anyone else. Or you need to make it known that you are a couple. That way all the other girls and guys know that you are taken. Its natural to get jealous but you need to learn to control it. As long as hes not doing anything then dont worry about it. Cause a good looking guy or girl will always have others checking then out.

We are boyfriend & girlfriend. To me we are in a serious relationship but when we first started talking he said he didnt want a serious relatoinship right now, cause he has his football career he is trying to concentrate on right now, he is trying to get a football scholarship & he take it very serious! Yes we are still in high school, were both 17, Im a senior & he's a Junior. We do make it known that we are together, i have people come up 2 me everyday telling me that we make a cute couple! I know we shouldnt be flirting. I dnt flirt cause im veri happy with him & i dnt want no1 else. Like i said he is a flirty person, so I kno he flirts, but i hope he dnt mean anything by it. It just makes me so mad when other girls flirt with him and try to make him pay attention to them. It happens everyday & i feel like i could kill someone! Its mostly black girls, cause almost all the black girls @ our school have a prob with us being together, cause hes black & im white........

Thanks for the reply!

Well the only solution would be to let everyone know you are together. Is because of the black/white thing?

No matter where you go there is still people out there that are recist and people that will object to your relationship. It sucks but thats the world for you. but who cares...your happy together and thats all that matters.

but until all these girls know about you they keep trying to get him...and im sure he likes the attention.

We are very happy together... He lets people know we are together. The other day, i was testing him to see what he would do. I was coming down the hall & this girl was standing infront of him talking to him, but it was like she was all up on him, and there was also 3 other girls around him, so i walked around her & came by his side, beside another girl, didnt say anythin, just waiting to see what he would do, & i was so happy & proud of him, cause he reached around tha girl that was beside him and he put his arm around me & pulled me up against him & kissed me on my forehead. Then ended the conversation with her, so we could have a few mins together before another class started.. It sucks cause we only have 1 class together, but most of our classes are close so we can see each other before and after.
Aywys, im tryin to control this whole jealousy thing. Its jus hard sometime. His ex which is black found out he is with a white girl & now she is trying to get back with him. Really makes me mad, but i trust him, so im not worried. I know how a lot of people are about black & whites together, most of my family dont approve of it, but i dont care. Im happy and I wouldnt change who im with for the world.

Well thanks for you replys!

Ok, now i have a reason to be jealous, but mostly i have a reason to be mad....... A couple days ago, I was walking to class (a class that i have with my bf) and he was standing at the classroom door with his back towards me. I guess he didnt know I was behind him. Well he had his hand on another girls butt.... Mad Omg, I got heated. I just stood there, then someone told him i was behind him and he tryed to play it off. It almost cost our relationship. We faught about it all that class period. Now i feel like i cant trust him. I just think, that if he has the nerve to do something like that right before a class that we have together, then what does he do when im nowhere around? I just dont kno, i care about him so much and I dont want us to break up...

Any advice from anyone would be a lot of help.......

Try not fighting about it. Sit down in a setting other than a loud, busy school hallway and talk about how you feel and have a good talk about your relationship. A classroom is really not a place to talk about relationship problems, you have an audience and nothing ever gets settled the way it could have in private. Do you see eachother out of school?

You say he's a flirty person and wasn't interested in a serious relationship. I would certainly ask just what he wants to get out of your relationship with him then.

Break up with him. His hands were on another girl. Thats really all you need. And when your not around hes probably all over other girls. His actions prove it.

Sorry you had to go through that. I know how painful it is to see the man you care about with someone else. But dont be blind, see it for what it was and move on. If hes done it once he will do it again. Hes young and in high school and probably doesnt want anything serious....hes proven that by touching someone else.

You are a senior.......you are graduating this year.... this leaves him behind, because he is a junior. Lets just say you two make it through the rest of this school semester, then summer......whats up for next year when you are not there to SEE ALL AND HEAR ALL??????????? he's a flirt. And, if you logically see it for the way it is....if you were in a serious relationship. neither one of your should have your hand on anyone elses butt.............Sounds like a JOCK PLAYA to me........I'd say keep up your guard to protect your heart.........its gonna get broken if you let it!

Well, he told her he didn't want anything serious.
I'm just not sure exactly what the relationship is, what is being serious if not being considered boyfriend and girlfriend in highschool?

It just seems like he's been pretty upfront with her. If you don't want to break up then you have to make sure you two are on the same page. If you're together then you're together. Make sure he gets what being together means to you. And make sure you know what he's thinking.

I guess in my mind, serious for a high school relationship is being boyfriend and girlfriend.

Sometimes we ride together either he will drive or I will drive and we usually see each other every wknd and sometimes a couple times a wk we will hand out after school, get something to eat, etc. The day this happened we both had drove, so when I got home I waited for him to call me, but he didn't, so finally about 11pm I called him and he said he had been waiting for me to call him and he always calls me first. I hardly ever have to call him. We talked about it, but I never really got anything out of it. he just kept saying sorry and he was just playing around with tha girl. I asked him how would he feel if he saw me doing that to another guy. He wouldnt answer me though.

The thought of breaking up with him came to mind, and I do wonder what he does when Im not around. Your right it is painful. That day I went home and cryed for hours. It would just be difficult leaving him right now, cause i would be heart broken and I have so much going on the next couple wk like Prom, graduation, then im going to NY for a week and I feel like if we were to break up right now, i wouldnt be able to enjoy myself like i should.

Ok, did you ask just what he wanted out of this relationship? What does he define as serious? What does he think being boyfriend and girlfriend meant? You can't ask questions like "Well, what if I did that?" What on is that going to solve? What do you get out of that question? It gives him the opportunity to keep apologizing. Ask questions and if he can't give you answers other than a barely audible sorry then maybe you should rethink being with him. If you're together, I would really hope you are able to communicate your simple expectations in your relationship.

Everything you said about who calls who and when? A relationship isn't a game. If you want to talk then call. Its as simple as that.

Thanks for your advice! Im going to seriously talk to him tonight and get all of this situated and find out exactly how he feels. I know if i dont, were not going to be together much longer, cause we are getting agravated and frustrated with each other tha past couple days. So im goin to his house so we can set down and talk about this face to face. If things dont go well and if he dont talk to me and let me in, then I guess that means goodbye. and thats the last thing I want...
I know a relationship is not a game. But you know when your young and when someone you really care about calls you, you get butterflies and smile, plus he has his own ringtone and i love to her the phone ring when he calls!
Aywys, thanks again!

I know the feeling when the guy you like calls and you just get excited, but he deserves that feeling too you know? Relationship is two way, you call sometimes and he calls sometimes. But you should certainly call if you need to talk about something. He's not a mind reader Smile

Write down some questions to ask before you go to talk to him. You don't need to take the list with you but it will be easier to remember that way. In my experience, guys don't just open up so you need to ask really good questions to get him to talk.

Hope everything goes well!

Ok, sorri it took me another day to reply, I was realli busy yesterday! and yea, i have 2 computer classes and I always get on ehealth when Im done with my work!

Aywys, so instead of me going to his house, he came to mine and we talked about everything! To make it short; he said he realli cares about me and he didnt mean to hurt me and he was ready to make the committment and be in a serious relationship. I told him if he really didnt want to be with me then we could just end it, but he said thats the last thing he wanted.... By his reaction i could tell he wasnt lieing and even though this is only the second day since he's told me that, I can see an improvement on his effort. Very
Happy So everything went well! Just hope it stays that way and this is the only 2nd chance im giving him, if he messes up this time, im done. I truely care about him, but I cant keep gettin hurt over and over by the same person. I went through that for 3 yrs in a past relationship and I wont let it happen again.

Aywys, thanks for everyone's help!!!!!
