Advice? I like listening to live music at bars with my newly single bestie. I get hit on a 4-6 times, more when with her. My bf isn’t controlling, but feels it’s disrespectful to put myself in this scenario, especially when drinking a lot & staying late

I don’t really have any hobbies or like fun things I could substitute going out for. Any ideas?

These were his points: it’s disrespectful to our relationship and him by -Repeatedly putting myself in a situation where men will approach me, try to buy me drinks, many hoping to get me drunk and take me home. -Being drunk in that environment till 2am (which I do) is also a safety issue

Asked me how I would feel if he - If he went out with a single buddy that is trying to pick up chicks & he wingmaned (entertaining her friends who likely want him & hit on him while his buddy talks to the girl he wants) Which is effectively what I’m doing as a girl with her

Another thing: my boyfriend and I went out to a bar, he got my drink, give it to me and turned to go to the bathroom. As he walked away, a guy I kinda know (40’s im 23) walked up and chatted with me, he got too close in my space and I entertained it, I allowed it to happen. We finish our exchange. I turned around and see my boyfriend right behind me. He saw the guy approach me as he was going to the bathroom, stopped and watched to see how I would respond.

if ur not entertaining anyone who’s approaching u i dont see anything wrong. and in that other situation, u saying u “allowed it to happen” is a little concerning to me: were u flirting back or were u just being normal conversational? did u feel under any pressure from this other guy to let u get in his space? it can be hard to say “no” to someone when u dont know how they’ll react

I was flirting back, I could’ve taken a step back when he was in my personal space and put his hand on my lower back to talk into my ear
