What makes a good boyfriend?
I bet many women wished they knew to ask this question. A good boyfriend respects you as an equal. He shows his respect by being interested in what you say. And he treats you the same when his friends are around as when he's with you alone.
You can trust him to do what he says, like call you if he says he'll call. He makes you feel good about yourself-all of you, how smart you are, what you look like, the things you like to do. He doesn't pressure you for sex or cheat on you. He never physically hurts you and, if he hurts your feelings, he says he's sorry and really works hard never to do it again.
A good boyfriend demonstrates the kind of values that are important to you, like genuineness, honesty, and loyalty (he doesn't go out with other girls behind your back!). The way your boyfriend treats you is very important. Can you and your boyfriend communicate? Can you share feelings about important things with him? Do you trust him not to tell other people secrets you may have shared with him? Does he share his thoughts and feelings with you? A good boyfriend should be sensitive to your feelings and understanding of you.
Can you be yourself around your boyfriend, or do you feel that you are always putting on a show for him? Being able to be relaxed and natural with your boyfriend means that there is a lot of mutual acceptance between the two of you. Does your boyfriend show you affection in ways that you like, such as holding your hand or putting his arm around you? A good boyfriend will treat you as an equal and respect your wishes about important matters. He will understand the word "no," especially about sex. He will also be OK when you want to spend time with your family or friends. A good boyfriend won't smother you and demand all of your time.
A good boyfriend is someone who loves you (you will know if he does because you'll get that feeling.) Also, if you need something, he doesn't mind doing it for you. Don't be confused though, you can't say a boyfriend is a bad one because he doesn't call you like he said he would. Trust me, boys just don't think about that kind of stuff: unlike girls. Basically, if he treats you well, respects your beliefs and needs, and is there for you when you need him, he is a good boyfriend.
Another "must" is a good sense of humor. Does your boyfriend make you laugh, and do you have fun with him? Boyfriends are more fun if they share similar interests and like to do some of the things you like to do. Remember, in choosing a boyfriend, there are a lot of great guys out there, so don't settle for less than you want and deserve. Don’t just get that certain guy because he’s the only one there either.
