Why Is My Boyfriend So Friendly With Other Females

Q.

Dear Meredith,

I’ve been dating this guy for three and a half months now. We’ve said that we will not be dating other people, and that we are going to see how things go for a little bit before we have the boyfriend/girlfriend talk. I’m 26 and he’s 31. I like him, and from what I’ve seen so far, he is the kind of guy I see myself getting serious with. He is attentive, communicates well, makes effort to see me, and is a nice guy.

My issue: whenever we go out in groups, he gets a little too friendly with other women. I’m not next to him for all these interactions, but from what I see, it seems like small talk and some conversation. I didn’t say anything at first because I didn’t (and don’t) know if he’s friends with these women or just met them. The other day we were at a smaller group gathering where someone introduced both of us to three women. He and the girls kind of branched out and were talking for some time. Then we all gathered to play games. During these games, he seemed to be competing with them, and I felt kind of ignored, to be honest. At the end of the night, once we were back at his place, I brought up how it bothered me that he was being too friendly with women he just met, specifically one of them. We had an argument and I explained how he would not have liked it if I branched off and talked to a guy I just met and was being too friendly.

Matter of fact, a while back he saw a guy talking to me at a bar while he went to the restroom, and he said it made him feel uncomfortable. In the end, he apologized. He said he has a friendly nature and will work on this issue. Yesterday, a week after this discussion, he was at a brunch party that he didn’t invite me to (I was OK with that). At this party, he was posting videos and pictures with him and a bunch of women, just smiling. Multiple stories, multiple women.

I think/hope these are just his friends, or friends of friends, but it kind of seemed like he was doing it on purpose. It felt like a slap in the face, to show me he can do whatever he wants. He has been single for a long time and my concern is that even though he told me he is ready to be serious with someone and settle down, he is not there yet. Am I being unreasonable to think it was unnecessary for him to post these kinds of stories on social media? Especially after I told him his extra friendliness with random women bothers me? And he agreed that he wouldn’t have liked it if things were reversed? Should I walk away accepting that this is going to be a bigger issue in the future? Should I bring up this conversation again? If so how should I approach it? Am I being unreasonable in my concerns?
