Yes, it’s a red flag.

A boyfriend with too many “girl friends” is constantly exposed to temptation.

Several of these so-called girl friends are women he has hooked up with in the past without a doubt.

This increases the odds that he is bound to hook up with them again.

On top of this, guys who have too many girl friends don’t bother to introduce said girl friends to their girlfriend.

How many of these girl friends has your boyfriend introduced you to?

Very few, if any.

This is an absolute red flag.

Once he chose to make you his girlfriend, his relationships with the bulk of his so-called girl friends should have ended.

These aren’t girls he grew up with of whom he has close platonic friendships with.

These are girls he has casually encountered here and there that he has kept around.

When a guy has true platonic friends that are girls, he wants to introduce his girlfriend to them, in the hopes that you get along with them and build friendships with them.

On the contrary, in hiding these girl friends from you or keeping you from getting to know them, he is demonstrating that he doesn’t have close platonic relationships with them.

They are there as his source of ego-boosting.

This is a guy who is insecure.

Insecure within himself about the person he is, and insecure about completely letting go to you emotionally.

As long as he has all these supposed girl friends, he always has somewhere to go to get his emotional needs met without having to rely on you for that.

Unfortunately, guys with this many girl friends rarely have romantic relationships that last.

How long was his longest relationship?

Not long.

What about cheating?

Has he cheated on his prior girlfriends?

With a guy who has this much temptation around him, he is bound to have cheated on a prior girlfriend before you showed up.

None of this bodes well for your relationship with him.

You would be wise to jump ship now before you become so emotionally invested in him that you find yourself incapable of leaving him.

Listen, I get it.

You like this guy and really thought that he was the one.

The conversations you have had with him have been the best you have ever had and he is ridiculously attractive.

None of this is worth the amount of emotional turmoil you are about to put yourself through in staying with this guy.

A guy with this many girl friends has his attention divided between too many women.

Who do you think he calls whenever he is having relationship issues with you?

Once a guy starts talking to his girl friends about his relationship, he is not communicating with you, his girlfriend.

That means that communication between you as a couple suffers.

Once communication suffers, everything collapses around it, like a domino effect.

You don’t want to be around when this happens.

A communication breakdown within a relationship that sets off a chain reaction puts you through emotional trauma the likes of which you can’t possibly imagine.

Is this what you want?

No?

Alright then, leave this guy and save your mental health.
