Weird vibe from friends boyfriend?

It's sad that this is the place I go for this but mostly I want to know if this is perfectly normal and I'm over reacting (most likely) or if there's something weird here.
My friend has a boyfriend it's her first boyfriend he's a senior we're sophomores. They started dating (After knowing each other under 2 weeks) over the end of summer. That's all pretty much normal, they know each others family now it's all lovely and nice.
It's just she seems to need him. Like its only been a month or two and I feel like if they broke up she'd be broken (also normal).
But he just always seems short with her, like they went to homecoming and he got mad and left because and I quote she "wanted to dance" last night and they "made up" but she called him twice and he hasn't answered. So she feels really bad. But wait no he was a jerk and she's feeling bad!? It just seems like he must have guilted her a little which is weird.
Just I dunno the way she talks about him makes it sound like he's always on edge and she's just so attached
I know you're supposed to get attached to your boyfriend and new relationships are fragile and I'm just being over protective right?
It's just weird for someone who doesn't get bothered so quickly being so fragile and easily hurt and I dunno! Opinions please!
Oh this seems so stupid the more I think about it. It's probably just the start if a relationship and they're learning about each other; But still he seems like he never wants to do anything and snappy when he actually does go.
Neh it's probably just different people then me in a different relationship then I am. Still though I wish I could make her see he's messing with her head.

Your being over protective, but I would be, too.

It seems this is a stereotypical high school relationship. Attached (maybe) overly attached girlfriend with a (maybe jerk off) boyfriend.

In the meantime, I would watch how long they last and stealthily hint at your friend to not be so attatched to this guy. Especially, if he isn't showing the same interest in her as she is in him.

It's his senior year, he's a high school guy, and a senior; he's a jerk! This is your friends first bf so she doesn't really know what she is doing, plus she is younger then him too. Like above said, encourage her to do other things outside of him and make sure that she is prepared for the inevitable break up for various reasons, (she isn't ready, he was ****ed at her for being friends with a guy, this is their 10th break up, he cheated on her, he's going to college, etc.) and you be ready for an emotional ride with her, keep a supply of cookie dough!

Haha okay thanks, I guess it's normal to dislike friends boyfriends.
But thanks I just watched one too many movies where the boy beats/hits/ect the girlfriend and well I raise red flags pretty quickly.
I will I'm going to try a double date and see if maybe I'm just hearing the negative side of him.

Well its her first relationship so of course she's going to be excited and do everything with him but he might feel like she's clingly.If he's embarassed of her when his other senior friends are around I think he maybe using her.
