From my own experiences I have found out that there are 2 things that guys like to show off to all the other guys around: the car and the girlfriend. They both gotta be flashy and make others jealous. That is the highlight of their day I guess!!
Your boyfriend is still a boy in the brain. He is not looking and maybe even not interested in you as a person. Maybe he is interested in your image as it seems. If you are ok with that, then write down his directions and follow them to the word. If you would like a deeper connection with a guy, check out of this relationship and don't waste your time.
