I'm not trying to qualify your experience here but I am curious - How old are you? Is this your first relationship?

It seems very clear - you're out with your girlfriend and she is flirting with other guys. In front of you. She then told you cut-and-dry that she's bored with you (texting new people is more fun).

What's her dating history like? Has she ever cheated on an ex?
Well you might not get those answers, but in any case I think the advice to let this girl go in this thread is sound. However, having been in your shoes when I was younger I know how easy it is to rationalize and stick with something. The rose coloured glasses don't come off without a fight.

And from your responses it looks like you're going to stick this one out. I'll spare you the story of what happened to me (it fucking sucked, I learned though) and suggest you take the other advice in this thread which almost as good as the first option:
start distancing and working on yourself, flirt with other girls if you feel like it, be your own person. Work out, spend time with buddies, do a mini-version of the things you might do if you had broken up.

Because if (or when) that blow comes, it's going to hurt like hell, and if you're already moving forward it'll be easier to get through it and move on to the next.

Good luck

oh and to ImpulseX, totally agree with you on the two-way street thing. It's a fucking tragedy when you arrive at the half way point and realize they never even showed up.
