How do I deal with my man's female friend liking him?

[Singing]

The first thing is not to take it out on your boyfriend. It's not his fault somebody likes him. Furthermore, people like this other girl are often TRYING to shove a wedge between the two of you in order to break you up, so don't let it negatively influence your relationship in any way. It's also a good time to ask him what's important in the relationship and in a partner and also share what's important to you--but listen as much as you talk! It's important for you to know what he thinks about the relationship, and also to have him articulate it so that it's conscious in his mind. Then go do something special and fun to take the serious edge off. If you relationship just becomes discussions and arguments, of course you'll not be doing yourself any favors.

Finally, realize that you can't control your boyfriend, and if he decides that he wants to lower himself to the point of sacrificing his integrity, it's better that you know, and it doesn't reflect on you. Do your best by the relationship, trust so far as he has earned it, but always keep your eyes open.
