I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you both are fairly young. Don't get defensive...what I am saying is that he obviously has not been in many serious relationships. Maturity in relationships usually eliminates this constant need he has to be reassured that people like him.

You can continue to let it drive you nuts or have a mature conversation with him about how you feel about him and ask him to consider "why" he does this behavior...not that you are expecting an actual answer from him on this...but that it is something HE needs to think about.

On the other hand, if he has a good sense of humor you can reverse it and start mimicking this behavior to him, so that he can see how silly it is. "OMG that grocery guy checked out my butt...he must have a crush on me!" "Holey cow...I think that guy in the drive thru wanted to ask me for my phone number!" "Wow...I just know your Dad would totally crush on me if you weren't here."

Okay...that last one...perhaps you should not use that example.

Usually this kind of behavior stems from insecurity. He either needs to be reminded that he is yours, or that he is desirable to others. Your man may be fishing for you to react to show him that you do consider him "yours" OR he may just have the need to have his ego caressed. Either way...this is a real issue with you so you are gonna have to deal with it with him.

Jealousy... that is when some people that get really pissed when their man checks out another girls hiney. It is a REACTION. Let's face it...we ALL check out other people...hell...I am over 40 and both my husband and I do that ALL the time--and we laugh at it together. So, yeah...it feels good to be my age and have my husband notice that some young dude was seriously checking me out too.

BUT if your guy is constantly pointing it out to you that he "thinks" everyone else has a "thing" for him, perhaps it is as simple as realizing that he is really self-absorbed and has the ego of a wooly mammoth and you are caught up in his fur. He may be looking for you to finally loose it so that he can later say...."Boy she is gonna miss me."

The last guy I dated did that at the beginning, I think to feed his ego and make him look more desirable. Whenever he'd say it, I'd just smile and say "I'm sure she does," while patting him on the arm. He quit saying it after about a month.

I really like and second the advice that cheeky redhead's posted.

Hmm, people like that need to think that to have an ego boost. You could always try it and see how it goes . Ever wonder what his reaction would be, I don't mean that you should be all sarcastic with it, but just play with stuff like that. Now if he starts commenting about how cute they are and all that, that's a bit pushy there.

Sounds like a bit of a douche to me.

Second the douche comment.

I agree with red...do it to him a few times, and unless he's as dense as a marshmallow, he'll get it.

Yeah, I'd do luisamapacha's suggestion first, then if in a few weeks he's not changing, I'd do red's suggestion. Just say everyone under the sun has a crush on me LMAO.

I'd say he's a douche too.

He sounds really insecure and immature! I don't know, guys can really be idiots. Does he think you are impressed or something. LOL. I like Luisa's advice. Perhaps next time he says it, you can say oh that's funny because I think soandso has a crush on me and then start going on and on about it... then laugh. Hopefully, he will realize he's being a douche.

Either that, or just call him on it and say 'why do you think everyone is in love with you? Do you have a really inflated sense of your self, or what!?'

Dump him.

Seems to be quite into himself.

I think he is trying to beef himself up. making you think how awesome he is. it is kinda pathetic. he sounds insecure. but i think its more common than you think he just doesnt know how else to make him seem better.

He sounds insecure and also like he's looking for some kind of reaction from you. I'd humor him also as others have suggested and see if that can break him of this habit. But I'd find it annoying if it went on forever.

i definitely agree with the advice saying you should mimick it. that will solve the issue.. either he gets it, and realizes he sounds like a jackass, or he doesnt get it, and you can tell the ego inflating douche to hit the bricks.

I'd tell him "that's great why don't you date her...I am going to date Paulo from my work since I think he has a crush on me too. Cuz you know he totally looked at me when we were in line getting coffee".

Honestly whenever men pull sh*t like that I just call them on their bullsh*t and don't give them the response they want. Then they stop.

Smells like Jerk chicken to me. Tell your man to get over himself and not everyone woman he meets wants him. That should knock him down a peg or two

My ex-boyfriend does this all the time! (We're still friends). For him, he is just all-around arrogant, and he admits that it's not likely *all* of them like him. I don't think that necessarily makes him a douche or insecure? Perhaps just arrogant.

I totally agree (and cracked up at) cheekyredhead's comment. As well as luisa's comment.

My ex used to talk about his 'best friend' a lot. In fact, get this, he used to constantly tell me how he thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. As well as a brilliant girl.

Now, he may have meant it, but everytime he said that, I caught him glancing sideways at me to see my reaction. That's when I realized he was most likely just trying to annoy me or trying to get me jealous.

Giving it back is the best thing to do in this situation. I just went on and on about this college hero that I once (really) did have a serious crush on, how he was incredibly handsome, ambitious and everything a man should be. And how he tried to flirt with me once, but that I didn't respond because I was too shy (and this was the truth). I went on to talk about him as 'my idea of the ideal man' and that nobody could even come close to this guy.

Ouch. He toned it down after that.

he sounds insecure. If you make a point of telling him how desirable he is to you I bet he'd let it go.

He sounds like he thinks he's gods gift to women.

Sounds like a real egotist. Give him a taste of his own medicine and every time you talk about a guy end it with "I think he has a crush on me"

He's either insecure or a d-bag.

Help him work on his self-esteem if it's the former, dump his a** if it's the latter.

That's annoying. He's either doing it on purpose to get your reaction, or he's got a really big ego.

He does sound like a jerk.

he sounds insecure to me. i'd just ignore the comments & not acknowledge them & eventually they'll (or he'll) go away.

That would really annoy me. Either he is so full of himself that he actually believes it or he is looking for a reaction out of you that will boost his ego.

haha, some of these comments were so funny. I would def. turn it around on him, or make it into a joke. In fact, whenever he mentions any girl, YOU could say 'OMG! I bet she has a crush on you!' before he gets a chance to say it. Maybe he'll figure it out and tone it down.

It's funny how people don't realise that it's making them look LESS attractive, not more!

You must be pretty young although I dated a guy who is turning 26 soon and he used to do this ! It's just really immature and silly.

Do what luisa said - pat him on the arm and be like "yeah, I'm sure she does sweetie."

I wouldn't tolerate him though, really. You can do better.

That is definitely a jerky thing to do, he apparently has no consideration for your feelings.

Next time he says that, tell him if he has all these girls crushing on him then he doesn't need you in his life and walk away.

Nice. Real nice. I think he has the manners of a goat and the heart of a pig. If someone did that to me I would give him a warning. Obviously he doesn't seem concerned with your feelings, or he's just too stupid to know any better. You could keep your cool, but be nasty. Everytime he mentions a so called crush, gently smile, then tell him, you know the feeling. Anyway that last girl he mentioned, you heard she's only into money and he just doesn't have enough. Or maybe you heard she has herpes. Be creative. After that maybe he'll get the drift and come up with something else to talk about. Like you maybe.

Give me your phone number, I'll pretend I'm a man.. LOL

You can copy or dump him. Is not easy to put up with their crap. No matter what you do for him. He will continue to burn you.

This is base on my experience. I have no clue about this. I thought, is not that important but it does makes me feel stupid. My husband continuously doing this to me. I already knew about this which I thought he is going to knock it off before he touch my ego. I do almost everything for him when I can. I even clean his car twice or three times a month because I love doing it for him. That's how much I love my guy. I don't flirt, no male friends, and not even talking about men with him. Now, I'm kinda make him feel unwanted because I even make fun of what he says. I told him that he should convert to an Islam, so he can marry them. However, just ignore him or make fun of it. Is not worth to get angry over witch ideas. I've been in your shoes.
