He said the truth, and that's a good thing - He is honest. A lot of men aren't honest, they'll say what she wants to hear...

Staring, smiling , and giving attention, is it his way of showing politeness as well? I don't see any touching or "blowing kisses". I HATE when my man gives attention to anybody else other than me when I'm right there too, believe me we all feel some jealousy, but that's part of building a relationship and getting to know each other.... but I cannot control what he feel/thinks, nobody wants to control their partners. You were right to tell him how you felt, but I just can't agree with others saying be quick to leave him because of this, unless you feel you totally cannot stand it, you decide when to draw the line ultimately...
