How do I become more assertive?

I'm struggling with people hitting on my girlfriend and flirting with her and I don't know what to do. Dad never taught us how to deal with anything so I'm not sure what to do. I feel like I'm not strong enough, not man enough, not assertive enough.

I don't think your problem is lack of assertiveness. It sounds like you are insecure. Is your girlfriend reciprocating the attention from these guys? If so then you actually have reason to be insecure. If it seems like she's staying loyal to you then just try to get over it. In your attempts to look assertive you might come off as needy or controlling.
What are you afraid of? At the end of the day she does not belong to you. What matters is your relationship with her, if it is not satisfying, the relationship will end.

That's a good question. There's no magic pill for it. It's a change in lifestyle, so it won't happen overnight.

I had the same problem once. You could ask her to not flirt back if she does. She can verbalize " Im with someone"

Sounds like your girlfriend needs to become more assertive.

Depends on if she is reciprocal.If not leave it alone.Let her tell them she's with someone.Her place.If she is reciprocal,your problem is with her.

If you trust her and she’s not asking you to intervene, let them flirt or hit on her all they want. She’ll sort them out.
What do you want to do when they flirt with your girlfriend?
