I have a very handsome and sweet boyfriend and it's like I couldn't ask for more!

However, I feel so blah everytime I see some single girls posting their pictures on facebook and in just 5 minutes, you'll see so many likes and comments, especially by other guys. And it's obvious they're trying to hit on her.

It's not like I want to cheat on my boyfriend (he's my 3rd bf and I never had any flings before even when I was single).. I've got some guys asking me out on dates before.. and it made me feel so likeable (but lonely because I thought I'd never be in a long term relationship again, until I met my bf now)..

I don't know what is it that I am feeling... I don't want to break up with my boyfriend just to see how many guys will start to ask me out just to make me feel like-able again...

I just feel like I've turned uglier just because I'm taken.. even though they tell me, I've blossomed and got more beautiful!

Is this normal? That even though I'm taken I would want some guys to "like" me (but I would not cheat of course)?

Is It Normal?

    It's not that you want other guys to like you, you're just looking for affirmation.

    Talk to your boyfriend; tell him what you need.

    Maybe your boyfriend needs to tell you more often how beautiful you are..? Boost your self confidence or something.

    You're not enough of a flirty attention whore to get internet stalkers.

    What you do about that statement, I leave to you, and advise you to exercise your better judgement. Just a quick reminder, though, that your value as a person is not necessarily based on the feelings of OTHER people.

    I think I understand this. Sometimes even though my boyfriend is sweet, and devoted, and is always telling me how gorgeous I am, I wonder if it is just because he is unique, and I happen to be his taste. And I think maybe he has to say that, because he loves me. I wonder how many other guys really find me beautiful.

    I think your boyfriend doesn't give you enough compliments, or attention.
