Our dating experts guide readers step-by-step through relationship challenges and romantic decisions in our popular series of advice articles.

The beginning of a relationship can be a fun and exciting time, but not everyone enjoys hearing about their new girlfriend’s past.

If you are the jealous type, you’ll have to determine if you are going to take control or let jealousy get in the way of your relationship with a great girl. Being a little jealous is natural because it shows that you really care for this girl, but when it prevents you two from getting closer and moving forward, then you need to get it under control.

You will have to accept that you’re girlfriend has been with other men, but be happy about it because she’s with you now. She’s dating you because she sees something special about you, so have confidence in yourself that you’re a great catch!
