My girlfriend and another guy?

So, me and my girlfriend have been together for about 8 months, and are both 18 years old.

We have a very strong relationship, talk everyday, both each other's first boy/girlfriend, and we love each other completely.

So, my dilemma is:

She has received texts from a guy who I've never met, and she's never mentioned him EVER, in any conversations. She never brought up his name at all. I could see him texting her because I usually hold her phone in my pocket because her pockets are too small and she hates taking her purse. I felt her phone vibrate in my pocket once when we were together and I took it out for her to check, and I noticed it was this guy again.

I brushed it off as nothing more than just a friend, as I didn't want to come off as too suspicious and controlling. However, this continued on and on and I just got more irritated, as she STILL didn't mention anything about him.

About last week, they were texting apparently and he called her out of nowhere, and she quickly grabbed the phone and put it on Silent. Since then, I've been very worried and suspicious so I decided to ask her about it. I asked her who he is, and why she's never mentioned him before.

She said, "He's just a friend who I lost touch with and I never found a reason to talk about him. I didn't think it was a big deal for me to be texting him since I know he's only a friend".

I trust her and believe that he's just a friend, but I just don't understand why she decided it was perfectly normal to not mention him at all.

So anyways, she tells me today (after I've asked her about who he is and everything) and she says' "Oh, well, me and Alan are going to lunch on Wednesday". I was like "Okay, sure". I thought it was odd how she never told me anything about him but all of a sudden, she makes plans to see him.

I imagine if I never asked her about him, what would she have told me she was doing when she goes to see him?

MY QUESTION IS: SHOULD I BE ALARMED AT THE SITUATION? SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

I'm sorry if it's long, but I just thought you'd be able to understand it more clearly.

    Whoa. CALM DOWN. Im a girl, I understand your situation. But chances are, this guy and your gf are just friends. If they had a thing, chances are, she wouldn't tell you they were going to lunch. We girls let you hang out with your friends, guy or girl, so why can't it be the same in reverse? I'm not a feminist, just a girl with a sensible brain.

    She might be innocent and just not know how to handle this. She should have told you, but perhaps she honestly didn't find a reason to tell you. Some people are naive in this way.

    But it could also be that this guy is trying to talk to her, and she's liking the attention and going along with it, which is pretty disrespectful to you.

    I don't know what the truth is. She does. And you have the potential to know too if you sit her down and make her talk to you. Ask her how it would feel if you were doing exactly what she's doing. And if she says, "I wouldn't mind" then ask her again because she's probably talking out of her ***.

    Well, this does seem a little bit suspicoius, but it could very well just be a childhood friend she lost touch with. If you trust her, then you should believe her. However, do not hold back what you are feeling, and tell her if you are uncomfertable with the situation, other wise you are going to resent her for doing this, and you will be angered and hurt from it. So the main question is do you elieve it is just a friend, and are you okay with them going out to lunch without you? If so, then good. If not, thats okay to its just important to talk things out with her.

    Good luck

    I see why you're worried, cause she didn't tell you about him, but she's telling you about him now. I'd hold tight. Don't be controlling, cause that could push her away. There's some saying that goes "If you love something set it free, if it comes back, it's you're if not, it never was." or something. You can't keep her by force, you have to hope she choses to stay with you, and being clingy can make things worse. Tell her you trust her. That's important, and she's lucky and should respect it. If not, she's not worth it anyway. All you can do is your part.

    since u are worried/alarmed, just talk to her about it. after her lunch with him say something like, "i dont want u to think im hovering, but can we just talk about alan? i just dont really understand who he is and who he is to u." and then shell explain it better. and mention how if hes her friend, ud like to meet him sometime if u want to check him out. if shes TOTALLY against it, then well...sorry dude :(

    i think of that she particularly basically likes the attention she gets from this different guy. this is obvious she likes him too or she does no longer have sent him that photograph of her in her bra. she particularly could end texting this newborn. how would she sense in case you sent a photograph of you shirtless to a distinctive female. i think of youu could boost your relationship. marvel her with a cute date, purchase her some rings, hit upon a sparkling trick to creating out. what i think of is that she likes the buzz and interest she is getting from this guy and you are able to teach her which you 2 are nevertheless mutually. solid luck. :] edit: no areas, how can he have faith her whilst she is texting different adult males and he already is familiar with with regard to the photograph she sent? who is familiar with what different stuff she is doing. i think of he had the properly suited to try this. plus it became temporarily and it is not like he hacked her facebook or something.
