When we are at some party and my girlfriend pays more attention to other people than to me, How should I interpret it?

The first possibility is that it is some kind of provocation caused by a lapse on your part. You should ask yourself what that could be. The best thing to do is talking to your loved one in a direct way. Ask her if there is something about your behaviour that she doesn't like or simply ask why she doesn't pay the attention to you that you look for so badly.

The second possibility is that she is only playing with you and doesn't have a real interest in being your partner. Try to find out soon so you are able to decide whether to continue or break up with her. To leave it unresolved will cause you being disconcerted.

A third possibility is that she feels insecure about your relationship and doesn't know whether to continue or not. This is normal and can very well happen to you, too. Perhaps she is looking out for somebody new while being at the party with you. Perhaps she is trying to create a motive for a fight or a break up.

What you should try to do is talking openly to your girlfriend. If you are too shy to do so or if there seems to be no proper moment for a dialogue or you think that it shouldn't be you starting a conversation about it, act the same way, show indifference and start playing the same game with other persons. If she gets mad it is because she cares about you and if there is no such reaction it is because you aren't of importance to her. But be patient because this test would require some time - at least one month - to find out and see how you feel about it.

Remember that life has just begun for you and that there are many possibilities for a relationship on your way. Don't forget that teen relationships do not hold any commitment...even though you think that this love is forever.
