October 3rd 2009 14:31
Depending on what you're looking for in your life, you'll find that no guy is going to be 100 percent perfect, and a guy that is perfect for your best friend of 10 years, may not have the traits that makes a guy like him perfect for you.
But, you can look for a few basic traits in order to help decide if the guy you're with is a keeper or should be tossed aside for another woman to deal with.
* He has is act together: Meaning he's not struggling to grow up and he's not still chasing his dream to be a rock star. Guys who have steady jobs, going to school, or both is going to be a good start. A guy with dreams and ambitions, is wonderful.
* He puts you first: You don't want to be thought of after he figures out his plans with the guys. You want to make sure that you're made a priority once in a while; that doesn't mean he's stuck up your butt, but just make sure that he puts your first. Consider taking the best piece of meat and offering it to you, as putting you first.
* He's not afraid of your cooties: If you're sick, throwing up, sneezing, whatever, and he wants to come by and take care of you, you want to keep him around.
* He's a family guy: He asks about your family and is really interested in what you have to say. He is even interested in his own family. It shows that he's accepting of your family and that he'll be good in a family with you.
* He makes time for your friends too: If you want to hang with your friends, you want a guy that's willing to show interest in your friends and hang out with you and them.
* He's your biggest fan: You want a guy that's going to be highly interested in you and your life. If something good happens in your life, you want him just as excited if not more than you are.
* He remembers the little things: It shows he really listens to you. If you can mention you have something going on such as a meeting the following day, and afterward he asks you how it went. Or, you're just taking the dog to the vet, and he remembers that you were going and asks how it went and if everything is ok. Another good thing about guys who listen is that they remember when there's something that you wanted; mention you really liked that purse or figurine, and on your birthday, anniversary, or another holiday, he boxes it up and gifts it to you.
* He's happy when you are: If he is willing to go to a movie you want to see, an event, play, opera, or anything else that you may want to do, then you may want to keep him around, especially if he goes without grumbling and making little comments like, "if I go to the play, will you go to the ball game?" Yes, it's give and take, but you should want to go because it'll make your lady happy.
* He makes you strive to be better: A guy who is able to make you feel like you're the luckiest person in the world and as though you are the prettiest and best person in his life, is one you want to keep around. You deserve a guy that is going to make you strive to be better.
It's not just how you feel about him and how he feels about you, it's also in how he makes you feel about yourself.
