Input: Boyfriend and I have been together almost a year. IMO he’s a flirt, but he would say otherwise. He has a habit, for example, of saying “hi, beautiful” or “hey, gorgeous” to women. I pointed this out and he basically made a joke of it and was like “Well what should I say, ‘hi, ugly?’” And I was like you could just say hi! Or call them by their name if you know it!

He then goes on about how compliments make people happy and he’s just trying to be nice. He does always compliment people. But I pointed out that he rarely does the “hey [fill in the blank]” thing with men - only women. Like he’s NEVER said to a guy “hey handsome”. I pointed this out to him and he was like “well that would be weird”. Ughhhh. 

Am I making a big deal over nothing here? Is it too much to ask that my boyfriend not call girls beautiful/gorgeous in front of me all the time? 

I should also point out that we are a gay couple so that’s a big factor in why he doesn’t see any issue. Thing is though, I am his first boyfriend. I’m 25 and he’s 22 and before this all of his partners were women. So I think maybe he’s bi, but I don’t know. He doesn’t really identify as anything. 
 
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
