Quick question

[gumiibear]

Hi everyone, I just have a quick question to ask.

I moved into a dorm yesterday with 3 other female roommates, and my (long-distance) boyfriend and I were chatting on Skype at night, and he asked me, "So are your roommates as pretty as you?"

I feel kind of confused because it seems like a compliment, but at the same time, why would he ask that question? Why does it matter to him if my roommates are attractive or not? I just feel kind of insecure about the whole thing. Am I making this into a bigger deal than it needs to be?

Thanks!

I believe it's just an innocent question and a compliment.

If he wanted to hook up with some other girl, it sure wouldn't be your roommates.

Don't worry

I feel kind of confused because it seems like a compliment, but at the same time, why would he ask that question?

Yes, it is a compliment. He said it because he wanted to give you one. Or maybe he didn't have better things in mind to chat about.

Why does it matter to him if my roommates are attractive or not?

It doesn't. It was just banter.

I just feel kind of insecure about the whole thing.

Indeed, I suggest you work on your insecurities before they cause you more confusion or even grief.

Am I making this into a bigger deal than it needs to be?

Most definitely.

I hope this helps

Maybe he is thinking about a visit, possibly bringing a friend along. He might be asking not for himself.
