He takes time out of his day to listen to you, even if just for a few minutes.
I know a whole bunch of you just raised your hand.
Thanks for making me feel like Im not alone.

This whole not having your better half gosh, I hate how cheesy that sounds- is painful sometimes.
Not having the plus one sucks.
Not having someone to argue with about which flavor of ice cream is the best, is absolute torture!
Im exaggerating of course, but you all know what Im talking about.
Having that one person to do life with is great.
You promise you wont let it get to you, but it does.
Then you start wondering if any of it is worth it.
You know, kind of like how weve ruined chain restaurants and shopping in actual stores.
With that said, we cannot lose hope!
We single ladies need to renew our minds each time we go out with a new fellow.
Its the only way to survive the grueling process that is dating.
There are some men out there who still believe in love and who are looking for their forever person.
Our job is to sift them out from the bunch who are looking to play games.
Doing that isnt as hard as you would think.
Here are 10 things that a man, not a boy, will do when hes dating you.
He calls you on the phone.
He takes time out of his day to listen to you, even if just for a few minutes.
He texts you to say good morning and good night.
Hes aware that these small gestures absolutely mean the world.
He never allows you to wake up or go to sleep feeling forgotten.
He always shows you a great time.
He tells you youre beautiful and means it.
He says youre beautiful, because he admires you as a whole, not just for your body.
He is interested in the things that happen to you.
He likes knowing about your dreams and goals in life.
He wants to be a part of them and help you be your very best self.
He takes his time with you (sexually).
This day in age, men arent very patient when it comes to sex.
This guy is different, though.
He knows that you owe him nothing, even if he paid for dinner and drinks.
He appreciates your quirks and your little (or large) flaws.
He likes your dorky laugh and that your smile isnt perfectly straight.
Nonetheless, he still appreciates the way you look.
He accepts you as you are.
Hes willing to talk through misunderstandings.
He doesnt get squeamish at the idea of talking about things and setting things straight.
Hes open to listening to you and my gosh, does he listen!
The next time youre hanging out, he pulls out sesame candy and turns the TV on and BINGO!
He knows that when you say two sugars, you really mean three.
He surprises you with these little things constantly.
Hes careful not to hurt you like others have.
He asks questions about previous relationships.
Hes a real man, looking for a real relationship.
He doesnt want to repeat the mistakes that others made with you.
