    The co-worker likes you, and your boyfriend sees this and is afraid of losing you, of you losing interest in him.

    I suggest having a talk with him on how you are with him having female friends, and what you would like with you having male friends; if any at all. There's obviously worry about jealousy here, so it needs to be addressed.

      sometimes i can get alil jealous with girls because i know how other girls can be. My boyfriend had a girl he was friends with before we met, that he used to hang out as friends. The girl was jealous when he started dating me, and she liked my boyfriend, but he had her in the friendzone. I felt uncofortable with her, and let my boyfriend know... He stopped talking to her for me and gave up that friendship.

        If he gave up a friend because you felt uneasy, why wouldn't you give up on a guy wanting to hang out with you for your bf? Things work both ways, don't they?

          This is true.. however im not going to hang out with this person, nor did i really feel interested in hanging out with. i was just trying to be nice and be friends with him and give him my number since he gave me his. I didnt mean to upset my bf.

            Yes, because we all know how virtuous men are. If women and men both had the capacity to craftily sneak into someone's life and charm them from their mate, then this would be a double standard. But since girls are…well you know how they can be (except you, of course), this is ok.

              Your boyfriend is upset over this guy because he knows no matter how nice you are etc, this guy wants in with you. If you respect your boyfriend, then respect him and drop contact with the guy. he's not working with you anymore so there's no reason to keep talking to him. If he had a gf that'd be fine but, i'd be uncomfortable aswell. You're his girl, he's ur man. would you mind him sitting there all day texting small talk with some girl you knew was into him?
