Do you ever feel jealous in the talking stage?

I get that feeling all the time when I know the guy I like is talking to another girl. They’re not flirting or anything, just playing video games, but it drives me nuts and I hate feeling this way. I guess I feel this way because I like him so much and I’m afraid to lose him, which again is stupid because I’m literally going to see him in a month, I just don’t like it when he plays games with this girl and I hate myself for it because it makes me come off as a controlling freak and we’re not even together. I just want to stop feeling this way and I don’t know how. Anybody not in a relationship with a guy but gets jealous when you know he’s talking to another girl?

Eh I think it’s a red flag.. a guy I was talking to started being jealous within the first week of talking & I cut it off because it was way too soon.. maybe you’re an anxious attachment. Think “why am I even getting jealous, I barely know this man?”

Please don’t hate yourself for this . It’s normal , and you get better with time . Just remind yourself he’s not your boyfriend, so don’t stress too much .
