Bev Conolly agony auntFor whatever reason, he's not ready to admit to having you as his girlfriend. This could be an insecurity of his, or a pressure placed on him by loved ones, or maybe he's just very, very unsure of where you stand and doesn't want to label your relationship.

Talk with him about it. Mention that you noticed it, and found it interesting that he chose those particular words, because you've always felt comfortable with "girlfriend". (Use your own words, obviously.) Ask if there's any particular reason he's not comfortable with introducing you as a girlfriend, but be sure that you're not testy or confrontational about it. He clearly doesn't have a lot of confidence in the relationship, so you might want to tippytoe around his feelings, at least until you understand the situation better.

Good luck.

bridget agony auntHey there,

Maybe he was compimenting you

on your kindness and genorosity towards him or maybe he

was just being an insulting wierdo and was embarrased..

Whatever the reason its better of to ask your boyfriend himself as to why he referred to you as his "very good friend", try to be calm about it though on approaching him he will find it easier to talk if you dont go all guns blazing on him..

Maybe though, he doesnt see the friend that much so he didnt think to feel the need to refer to you as his girlfriend, all different reasons, Its probably better to sit him down and spill the beans and let him know that you are upset that he referred to you as his very good friend..

Good Luck
