MEN!!! If you are interested in a woman do you try to make her jelouse by talking about other women?????

My new boyfriend kept tellin me about other girls and I just kept listening and when I told him I liked him a little he actually came out and let said "I already told my mom that I luh...that i like you. She wants to meet you" Was he trying to make himself sound like a catch or something so I could want him more...do men do things like that???
