    I have been in a serious relationship for almost two years and I am still head over heels for my boyfriend. However, sometimes I really like the attention from other guys, and sometimes, almost even crave it. I know it is normal to like attention from the opposite sex, but sometimes I wonder if I go overboard. I chat with guys online (NEVER anything inappropriate) just in a friendly manner and sometimes give guys my phone number, strictly to chat in a friendly way. To me, it is completely harmless but I am wonder if I am being unfair to my boyfriend and leading other guys on? I have always been a “guy’s girl”, and a bit of a tomboy and I find it a lot easier to hold a conversation with a guy compared to a girl. There have been times where guys have crossed the line, and I’ve gave them the boot. But sometimes, if a guy hasn’t expressed initial interest in me in a while, I start to feel a bit depressed like I am not as good anymore, even though my boyfriend gives me so many compliments and treats me like gold. Can you PLEASE help? I have a guilty conscience sometimes and want to be 100% honest and open with my boyfriend, yet other times I feel like I don’t do anything wrong. PLEASE HELP.. Thanks!

    It sounds like you have a self esteem problem because your need for male attention goes beyond what is normal. Flirting online or at parties, etc., isn’t normally a problem if your boyfriend doesn’t feel disrespected, but when you start giving your phone number out to men, when you already have a boyfriend, you’re sending them a signal that you’re interested in more than just flirting. This is crossing a line.

    It’s important that you start being honest with yourself — and everyone else — in order to correct this problem. If your boyfriend is upset with your general flirting, then you’ll know you’ve crossed a line in this relationship. However, some men are so secure in their relationships and they know that their girlfriends would never cross any line, that they just laugh off the girlfriends’ flirting. But you have to know how your boyfriend feels to find out where his feelings fall — and to see how comfortable you are to adjusting your own flirting to make your relationship a priority.

    I hope that helps. Check me out on Facebook, [url][/url], and follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter for more AskApril!
