Good morning Chickies!
I've been on quite a few dates in my time and with that comes getting to know a lot of different types of guys. Tall guys, short guys, blue-eyed guys, brown-eyed guys, meat heads, brainiacs--you name it, I've probably been out with the type at least once. (Looking through that list I'm not sure whether to brag or be embarrassed). But through those experiences I've learned to differentiate between the bad guys and the good guys (although, I have been fooled quite a few times in the dating world). So, today I'm going to combine two things that I love: lists and dating. Enjoy!
I have personal experiences with some of these instances which is why I'm so passionate about this post. And while reading, remember: these circumstances are based on committed relationships, not "flings".
His Past:
Boy:
He revels in his past and stews in it. You look through his Facebook/Instagram/Twitter and all you see are pictures of him partying or hanging on girls (this makes him look good in front of his bros). He is constantly trying to re-live his glory days and has no problem telling you. Whether has past was good or bad, he can't seem to let it go.
Man:
He looks at the mistakes he has made in his past and learns from them. They aren't something he brags about, but things he looks back on as experiences that made him the man he is. A man doesn't try to erase his past experiences; however, he is sensitive to your feelings in regards to his past (this goes for relationships as well as experiences).
It's your birthday:
Boy:
He probably forgot about your birthday and made a plan with his bros. What's important to you is never important to him. Major holidays, anniversaries and birthdays constantly pass without him even acknowledging their existence.
Man:
He may not have planned a big, extravagant surprise or present, but he at least wants to spend the day with you. He constantly wants you to feel special and makes sure you know you are (this doesn't just stop on your birthday). This could be something as simple as giving you flowers, making you dinner, giving you a back rub, etc. If you're with a man he will know just what to do to make you feel special.
Family/Friends:
Boy:
He doesn't care to be around the people who are most important to you. He would rather be hanging out with his own friends instead of trying to endear himself to your loved ones. Boys are very selfish overall.
Man:
He wants your family and friends to love him. A man wants those closest to you to know how cherished you are. A man will put your family and friends' minds at ease and then end result will be positive.
"Feelings":
Boy:
He doesn't care how you feel and he doesn't bother telling you how he feels. A boy is very closed off and doesn't see the need to sharing feelings with you.
Man:
Men aren't "touchy feely", but a man tries his best to protect his woman's feelings. If she is hurt, he tries to find the root of the problem. Men are fixers.
Future Plans:
Boy:
He has no direction for his life. He is constantly living in the "here and now" and has no goals in mind for his future. A boy does not have a five year plan, but will make you think he does. Boys are great at manipulating girls because they "only want one thing".
Man:
He knows just what he wants and he won't stop until his goals are achieved. He works hard at everything he does and puts 100% into his dreams. He won't jump into anything before he is ready because he wants to be the best husband, father, co-worker and/or boss that he can be.
Until next time,
Kat
