Am I (M 22) overreacting about my girlfriend (F 18) hanging out 1-on-1 with a male friend?

I’m in my first real relationship and I’m trying to figure out what’s normal and what’s not, so I’d appreciate some outside perspectives.

I’m completely fine with my girlfriend having male friends. I don’t want to be controlling and I wouldn’t want someone telling me who I can or can’t see.

But recently something has been bothering me a bit. She went out with a male friend, they talked for hours about his love life and watched the sunset together. On its own maybe that’s fine, but it felt a bit… intimate to me.

What makes it more confusing is that lately we haven’t had that much time together. I work a lot and we usually only see each other on weekends for a few hours. There were also times when I offered to come see her during the week, but she said she had school stuff to do, and later told me she didn’t really do anything anyway. So I guess I feel like I’m not really getting much time with her, but she still has time/energy for other people.

I don’t think she’s cheating or anything like that, and she’s generally open and communicative. I just feel a bit off about the combination of:

- not having much quality time together

- and her having what feels like a more “intimate” hangout with someone else

I don’t want to tell her who she can see, but I also don’t want to ignore how I feel.

Am I overreacting here? And if not, what’s a reasonable way to handle this without coming across as controlling?

(I used AI to translate this so I hope everything is understandable + this is burner account)
