Trust issues with my boyfriend and a random girl?

Hi, so I have been dating my boyfriend for about 3 years and he told me a while ago that he was hanging out with one of his old friends one day who is a girl. I have never met her, but he was telling me that he wanted to be honest with me and let me know that they were flirting with each other the night they hung out. I don't really care about flirting but then he told me "but don't worry I'm trying not to like her anymore, we're just friends." Well excuse me I didn't think he liked her more than a friend until he said that. I don't know what to do. I am happy that he was honest with me and had the guts to tell me, but I really do not feel comfortable with this at all. Especially because we go to different schools and I'm not there to keep him on check. To be honest I don't even want a boyfriend that I have to be watching over, but I don't know how to tell him that without him considering not being honest with me anymore and thinking I will freak out. I want to be honest, but I don't feel good knowing what he did and feeling insecure.

    Are you for real your still in school haha. I'm 18 and I'm dating lorde the singer but I live in Australia and her in NZ and she trusts me completely I talk to other girls all the time there is no problem. But if he has kissed her or had a sexual relationship with her then you should be worried. Looks like you are just a little paranoid

    Well he was honest about it and didn't try to hide it from you. Maybe he isn't to good with words and what he said to you didn't come out the way that he intended it to. I think he meant to say that he was just going to be friends with her and not to give her any indication that he liked her any more than that. To be honest he really said too much about what he was doing and that does make me wonder that was getting on really well with this other girl, flirting, etc. but then he was seen by a mutual friend and so he is getting in first, with his version of events, before you hear stuff from other people.

    In view of his honesty and would give him the benefit of the doubt and trust him - good luck and take care :)

    If he loved you he wouldn't have wanted to flirt with her. He obviously has lingering feelings, even after 3 years. It's good that he was honest but flirting could lead to something more.

    He needs to stop hanging with this chick.
