It seems like both of your dates liked you. Perhaps the first one enjoyed your company but was also seeing someone else they felt they had a stronger connection to. And the second date has already asked to see you again, which I doubt he would have if he didn't like you.
Live! dating is like this unfortunately. You're one among so many others, and so are they
OP – I feel like you are leaving out important background information about what happened.
How many partners did he have before you got together? How many partners did you have before you got together? For example, how long after you proposed this, did he finally agree to it? Was it days, weeks? How many partners have you yourself had since you opened the relationship? Remember, he had concerns about you being with other people. Each time you went out with someone, it probably cause him pain that he had to kind of suck up and deal with. Instead of a lover, he took someone to commiserate with.
Made a post about… his facial expressions. Dude didn’t even say anything, all he did was nod along while she complained about her boobs. I guess the answer here is that he should have launched into a monologue about how she’s gorgeous the way she is and her insecurities are completely unfounded yada yada yada.
I don't know what he is by the world's standards, but to me he is an easy 10/10 across the board. But this is just one sign among many others that he probably doesn't like me as much as I thought he did.
Guys and girls think differently. We think very factually about those kind of things, but that doesn't mean we don't value our GF. There is some girls that objectively I would rate a 8, but they just don't fit my personal taste and there is 6 that fit what I like more and I would prefer to date that girl. Same things with personality, there is stuff that my GF are doing that are objectively bad personality wise, but I don't care about it so it's not an issue. At the same time, there is little things that don't necessarily make her a better person, but it attract me or make me feel good.
What I mean is how we objectively rate a girl and how the girl fit our ideal of a girlfriend is totally two different things. There is also the fact that connection and history mean a lot to us. I much rather keep a relationship with connection and history, then to start a relationship with none of those, just because the girl objectively look better.
That said, even if this is how a lot of guys think, I would never speak that way about my GF, because I know that it would hurt her. Just like I know a lot of things my GF can think about me would hurt me. I don't know if it's lack of empathy or just lack of experience of your boyfriend. Depending on the reason, it can be salvageable or not.
I know that a lot of girl think the same way as you. Oh he is my bf so he's a 10/10 in my head, but this shit is crazy to me. It's fine, it's the way you think and there is nothing wrong with it, boy just think differently. For a boy, if their GF is a 7/10, she will remain a 7/10 before, during and after the relationship. But their feelings for that girl will change. While for girls, the same guys can very a LOT on that scale before, during and after the relationship.
For girls the scale seem to vary with their feelings, while for boys those are two different things.

Paternity isn’t in question here.
Same. Far more likely it js an affair than he stole them off the phone. Her reaction is sus. Updateme!
STOP NUDGING JESUS FUCK YOU'RE A FUCKING ADULT!
Communicate. Holy shit. How the fuck did you manage to make a whole human when you can't do the bare minimum of adult communication.
