I started dating a really beautiful and attractive man a couple weeks ago (he is actually a model, and about 6'6 and in great physical shape and physically imposing), and the problem is that he is so attractive that he always gets a lot of attention everywhere from other girls.
There are always girls who gaze at him, whisper about him and flirt with him in various ways, and sometimes they can even do it when I am right nearby.
He always makes sure to either ignore them or politely reject them, but he is a total magnet to girls, so I always feel like some girl will end up charming him.
I don't know him very well yet, since we haven't dated that long - we have had several romantic one-on-one meetings, and he seems like a great guy, but it is hard for me to relax with him when I often feel jealous around him.
I was wondering if you have any tips on this?

@meliiz welcome to MSF. I hear you about having a magnetic person for a romantic partner. That can be rough.

It is not easy to be involved with someone and live with the thought that it might not be a permanent relationship. It sounds encouraging that he is rejecting their advances when he is with you.

Find out in subtle ways what he is looking for in a partner. He may be turned off by people treating him like an object. Maybe he is looking for an emotional connection, not just a physical one. Maybe he really wants to be able to talk to someone he is close to.

You may not wiin the game people play to attract a person with physical flirting but maybe you have something else that he finds really attractive. If you can let go and enjoy this relationship without trying to own him, then maybe something deeper and more long lasting is possible.

Those are just some thoughts. Glad you joined the community. @CANDC

Thaanks, yeah I feel that he does care a lot about me, and that we have a very strong general attraction to each other.
We always make sure to meet in the afternoons, when both of us are free from school, and we spend a lot of time together on different things.
We also sit and kiss very often, and we have sex at least 2 times every time we are together, lol, so it is great in that way too.
