The very first rule when it comes to the fact that he is texting other girls is to confront him! It might be difficult to do it right up front, but girls, once you get it all out in the open and ask him straight out if he is texting other girls, you'll feel better. Trust me on this!

Being direct can be intimidating, but it's essential to communicate your concerns. Approach the conversation calmly and without accusation. Say something like, “I've noticed you’ve been texting quite a lot recently, and it's been on my mind. Can we talk about who you're messaging?” This invites an open dialogue and shows that you're coming from a place of wanting to understand, not to control. Remember, your feelings are valid, and addressing them honestly is a crucial step in any healthy relationship.
2. Be Completely Honest
After you confront him, if you aren't comfortable with the fact that he is texting other girls, you've got to just tell him! Honesty is the best policy here chicas! After all, you want to make sure that the lines of communication between you and your boyfriend are completely open!

Express your feelings without blame or anger. Directly say, “I feel uneasy when I see constant texts from other women on your phone. It makes me question where I stand in your life.” Remember, communication is a two-way street. Listen to his side of the story, as he might have legitimate reasons. But at the same time, set clear boundaries about what you deem acceptable. Trust is built on transparency and respect, so make sure these are not just words, but actions that both of you are willing to uphold.
Frequently asked questions
There could be many reasons! Maybe he enjoys their company, is just being friendly, or he doesn't see it as a big deal. But remember, what's important is how it makes you feel. If it bothers you, it's important to talk to him about it.

3. Be Clear about Your Expectations
When you are dealing with a guy, you've got to be really clear girls! You've got to express exactly what your expectations are, that way he knows he has to do and what you expect out of him. That goes for him too, he should give you his expectations too when it comes to texting.

Setting boundaries early on in your relationship can alleviate so much confusion later. It’s not about laying down the law, but rather, having a mutual understanding about respect and honesty.

Express your feelings openly and see how he responds. Remember, trust should be mutual, and if he truly values your relationship, he will understand your concerns and make an effort to reassure you. Nonetheless, always listen to your intuition—if something doesn't feel right, it may warrant a closer look into the nature of his interactions with other girls.

Prepare what you want to say ahead of time so that you can express yourself clearly without letting emotions take over. It's important that he understands this is about your feelings and the boundaries and respect you expect in the relationship. If this texting behavior hurts you or makes you insecure, he needs to know. Remember, it's not about accusing; it’s about seeking to understand each other better.

Remember, transparent communication is a two-way street, and you both need to feel comfortable with how it's handled.

Ken: If a girl started texting others when we were on a dinner date, I would suggest that she say "hope this is not an emergency for you, but I'm on a date, let's text tommorrow SEND". If she stopped texting in a minute or so, I'd thank her for the exclusivity and promise mine to her on our times together. If she didn't take the hint, and I was REALLY interested in her, I'd sit very close and try to position her hands so we could both read the screen, and engage her in talk about who this was. I'd give it a chance to be fun. But when the flurry of texts stopped, I'd talk about my preference for exclusivity on our dates. I'd also see if she could change my mind about my perception that it is rude to text others when on a date. I'm an old guy, but not so old I can't learn.
