my boyfriend likes other girls?

ok, well...first of, DO NOT tell me to break up with him. i am NOT going to do that.

i knew my boyfriend liked a girl, one of my friends, but i know she doesn't like him so i guess it's not that big of a deal...i guess since he's a guy he will like other girls...

anyways yesterday my boyfriend told me that he also likes his brother's girlfriend's cousin, whom i have not met before, which really makes me worried. i know he won't cheat on me...but i'm just scared...since i don't know her so i don't know if she likes him. and if she did...well, that just wouldn't be good. but he swore he wouldn't break up with me for another girl. i've been worrying about this all day anyways. should i be worried, or am i just being paranoid?

we have been going out over 4 months and we both do trust each other, but i get worried since i'm that kind of person.

Update:

uh...i kinda made him tell me

    what the F#$%

    THATS your boyfrined.

    which means he's not suppose to be LIKING other girls. unless its a casual dating thing..not a real relationship

    but if it's a real relationship that's a problem, if he has feelings for you he would not like other women.

    instead he would pay more attention to you and treat you like a queen.

    Ugh, boys can be such pigs sometimes. I think the answer to this problem lies in how serious your relationship is and how much he means to you. I am also a big worrywart, and I analyze everything, so this would bother me too. I think that the fact that your boyfriend is telling you that he likes other girls just shows his true colors- he's obviously not as committed as you and isn't treating you with the respect that you deserve and that you're giving him. And, I hope you don't find my brutal honesty offensive, but the way that you are so sure that you don't want to break up with him and are so afraid that he'll dump you kind of makes it seem like you like the idea of having a boyfriend more than you actually like the boy you are dating. It's just a thought, I could be wrong. I just know that if it were me, I would talk to him first and tell him how you are feeling. If he understands and is more sensitive towards your feelings in the future, than you can still make it work. I just know that if it were me, and he was talking about how he likes other girls, I would want to be with someone who could make me feel special, like their one and only, and you deserve that too. So try to figure things out with your boyfriend, and if you can't, then don't fret- there are plenty of other boys out there who will appreciate you for who you are and not ever need or want anyone else

    Good luck

    Don't worry about it. Guys will always check other girls out, even if they have the most wonderful woman on their arm already. People seem to have forgotten that guys are wired for sex in the first place.. they think about it, what, every 5 or 6 seconds according to whatever that one study was a few years ago, lol. As long as you know he loves you and won't cheat, I'd just go with that. And if the girl does start making moves on him, let him know you're not comfortable with her advances and ask him to tell her to stop. Don't try to make her stop because that will only cause you and your boyfriend trouble.

    If he doesn't tell her (unless he's shy or worried about hurting her feelings) then he was lying about loving you in the first place and you need to dump his *** like a ton of bricks. If he's shy or worried about hurting her, help him figure out something to tell her that won't be too rude. That way he'll already know what to say, which will make him braver, and he won't have to worry about hurting her feelings.

    If it makes you feel better, have your boyfriend, his brother, his brother's girlfriend, the cousin, and yourself all go to some public place together, that way you can all get to know each other and it will get it all out in the open. But if you choose to do this, be careful not to be mean or jealous or judgemental right away. She might become a good friend. Keep your options open.

    when he tells you that he likes somebody else, does he mean it in terms of - yea i met this cool person the other day and i like her, she's chill,

    or

    does he mean it like - you know how you're my girlfriend and i like you? i like that girl too.

    ??

    if it's the first one i guess your problem isnt even a problem.

    but im getting the impression that it's the second one from your question so here it is from my perspective as a bystander:

    it doesn't matter that the other girls like him back or not. it's your boyfriend's feelings that matter. what would he do if the girl liked him back? does that mean that he would get attached to her? even if he doesnt cheat on you, having feelings for another girl is just as bad. personally, that's even worse. i would protect myself and just cut him loose but since that's not an option, you need to ask yourself something here.

    why share your boyfriend with other girls? does he like YOU and respect YOU enough to give you his undivided attentions/feelings/love?

    if he really likes YOU shouldnt that be enough? just because he's not physically cheating doesn't mean he's not cheating.

    nobody deserves anything less from somebody that's supposed to love you.

    If you are not going to break up with him then that is sad for you. He has it easy with you! It is not normal for a boyfriend to like multiple girls, but he does because you let him. I would be worried, but I would have walked away the first time it happened. It doesn't matter if the other girls like him, they aren't the ones in the relationship. Respect yourself and find someone who respects you. Imagine a relationship with no worrying...

    Come on now you have every right to be worried about him cheating. What makes you so sure he wont cheat on you? Him telling you that he likes other girl will only arouse insecurity in you. Trust me coming form a Mans perspective if he is already telling you about liking other girls, and he hasn't cheated yet he soon will. Consider it a pre-warning! What kind of Man would tell his girlfriend he likes another girl and not expect her to say,"well then C-ya, go like her then". 4 months is not a long time, think about how he dishonors you when he tells you these things!

    Atleast your mans keeping it real with you but honestly majority of the men in relationships like other woman.As long as your keeping your man happy you shouldnt have to worry about another chick you understand.If you and your boyfriend have a clear understanding of your relationship and the level you both are on then you shouldnt worry.Dont be worried just be aware no reason really to be paranoid....

    Be Honest.....you don't trust him and you know it!!! Plus, since he knows that you WON'T break up with him -AND- he's told you he likes other girls, you've just given him PERMISSION to cheat on you (which he will), because he has nothing to lose! He can cheat all he wants, but he knows you'll be his little puppet and stand by him. Don't kid yourself, he WILL cheat on you. My poor daughter has been dumped on by guy after guy since she was 14, and believe me, if you let a guy walk on you, your self-worth will quickly disappear, and your life will quickly spin out of control. I know what I'm talking about! By the way, you sound very young and probably shouldn't even be dating yet. Save yourself for something real!

    if i were you i would be worried. it totally normal for men to be looking at other women. the only problem comes when they start to develop feelings for them. it seems like your guy spends some time with this other girl especially if its his brother's girl's cousin they are prolly all hanging out together. it's great that you have been together with him for 4 months and all but you need to ask yourself if both of you are taking the relationship seriously. just because you are together for that long doesn't mean that you were meant to be together forever. be careful and talk to your guy about how you feel.

    A great way to get your ex back is https://tr.im/Pl0eK

    They might realize they need you and come crawling back!

    If you do get back together, don't let the same issues that destroyed your relationship crop up again. Have a good, long talk about how you're both going to make it right this time.
