When I am out with my boyfriend, I often catch him staring at other women. This hurts me. Aren’t I good enough for him?

If your boyfriend is looking at other women, there are two possibilities: you haven’t captured his attention, or he’s just being a guy. Either way, this behavior is completely rude on his part.

Tell him that his actions bother you, and if he continues, you should consider moving on. You deserve a man who is more respectful of your feelings.

I’m dating this girl and she keeps comparing me to her (male) best friend who she no longer talks to. No matter what I do for her, she doesn’t appreciate it and tells me that her “best friend” would have done something else. It is starting to bother me … what can I do?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she is obviously not into you. When a girl compares her significant other to someone else, it is because she is hoping to transform him into the guy that got away. Obviously, she has strong feelings for her “best friend” and may not realize that her comments hurt your feelings. In any relationship, you should accept your partner for who they are. You should communicate your discomfort to her. If her comparisons persist, I suggest you move on and find another girl that will appreciate everything about you.
