Not unless you are sitting right there with him. If you sneak it away, that's not cool ...

It is not only improper etiquette, it shows lack of respect and trust. You need to think about why you need to know. Jealousy and insecurity are rarely about what the other person is actually doing and more about the person feeling the insecurity.
If you want this relationship to last, do not touch his phone or anything else of his that he has not invited you to read or see.

I agree with dct1218, is not a matter of etiquette. I think it has more to do with trust; do you really trust him? Does he trust you? If both answers are yes, I think is OK to check who calls him, or check on his cellphone contacts or even read his diary, but you should ask first and see if he lets you do it. Some people just can't hold it, not because they don't trust eachother, but because they are curious, it's their nature.

How close are you two?
Will you ask him or are you sneaking?
Do you honestly show him all your contacts?
Is it any of your business?
Who or what do you expect to find?
So you found who or what. What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to him?
These are some of the many questions you should ask yourself, before you check out his phone list. If you guys are really close it is no big deal. By that, I mean, that you know him well enough to know whether it is good manners without going to YA. Soooo, I would venture to say that you best not go there if you want your relationship to move up to the next level. (No, I'm not talking about the bases in baseball.)

No you should not have to. If he is a good boyfriend he will not have anyone calling that would be offensive to you. And if you have to wonder, either you have some trust issues or he has given you a reason to feel this way. Either way, it is not good for a relationship if you cannot trust the one your with.

What's really improper is that you NEED to check it- you should be able to trust the one you are with.

This is not an 'ettiqutte' question. You are asking for permission to invade someone's privacy. How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot? That's your answer.

That's not a matter of etiquette.
It's about a laundry list of other things, but etiquette is NOT one of them!

If he gives you reasons to believe something might be going on then do what you have to do. But keep in minds that you might be openning up a can of worms by doing so.

Yes it is that is an invasion of privacy. It would be like him checking your e-mail, diary, or any other personal belonging you have that you do not want him to see
