Dating a beautiful woman has its challenges, and one of biggest, if not, the most annoying, is to have other men hitting on your girlfriend. While you may react in one way or another depending on your personality, it is worthwhile to think about how to respond to those looks of longing toward your girl without seeming overly jealous.
Lighten up.
If you've been catching a few glances your way, it helps not to take it seriously at all. Make a joke to her about how that guy's lazy eye got cured just by looking at her. Women love to laugh. Lighthearted and witty jokes bring the problem to her attention without giving her the impression that you're feeling threatened. Make a quick direct eye contact with the guy to let him know that you noticed.
Keep her close.
Whenever you're out at a crowded place, ensure that she does not stray far from you. Otherwise, she will risk looking single and may be approached by interested men. Stay close to her and wrap an arm around her shoulder when possible so that other guys know she's taken.
Give them a show.
Public displays of affection to your woman are sweet but it can also be a great way of letting other men know that your girl isn't available. When a guy glances at girl's way, give her a kiss or an embrace to shut down his hopes. It also helps to be honest with your girl. Tell her what's up so she doesn't lose trust in you.
Give her a nudge.
You can also ask your girl to join in on your crusade of letting other men know she is already taken. Have her tell her admirers that you're with her. The message is clearer if it's coming from her and it should promptly stop the glances from coming. Don't leave her to do it herself, however. Stand with her and look the guy straight in the eye while she is talking to him.
Keep it fun.
You shouldn't have to worry about unwanted glances if you are confident in your relationship. Don't feel threatened, and trust that your girl will not return any of the glances from her would-be suitors.
If it annoys you, don't complain to her about it but instead, focus on making her happy. Remember that the best way to hurt your enemies is by living well, so smile with her and they should buzz off.
Take action.
While the methods above can work for stopping playful glances, there may be cases where you will need to approach the admirer. For instance, if you notice that he has begun following your girl, it's time to shut him down yourself. Tell him that you notice how he's been flirting with your girl. Remember to be respectful but firm so that you assert yourself as the man who is loved by that beautiful woman.
There may also be cases where your girl is used to wearing skimpy clothes which can attract more admirers. While there's nothing wrong in wanting to look sexy for you, it helps to tell her respectfully that she should tone it down a little bit if she gets hit on more often than usual.
Instead of feeling frustrated, you should see the good side of having a girl who draws attention. It only means that other males want what you've got and only wish that they were you. By responding in a dignified manner, you show your girl and those men that she made the right choice in being with you.
