Signs he'll be a good boyfriend

1. He asks about how your friend Becky is doing after her breakup

Him caring about your friends and asking about them later not only shows that he's a caring person, but he's invested in your life and the people in it. 

2. After he met Becky for the first time, he was like, "Do you think that went well?" 

You don't want to end up with a guy who's like, "I don't care if your friends hate me, they suck anyway." That's just a logistical nightmare and is surely going to end in some severed ties with people you really care about.

3. When you bring up that your boss is being rude to you at work, he doesn't sigh and roll his eyes because you're "complaining again." 

If he can't sit through a five-minute tirade about a lame work situation, he won't be able to sit down with you when something seriously big goes wrong. 

4. He's polite to waiters and cashiers, and doesn't do that awful thing where you yell, "CHECK, PLEASE," across the restaurant

It might have been cool to date the guy who was sweet to you but an asshole to everyone else when you were 13 and bullies were kind of sexy, but that sort of relationship doesn't hold up in adulthood. Don't date a man-bully who could very well turn around and bully you if you piss him off.

5. He doesn't desert you at his friends' parties

It's OK for him to encourage you to be friendly with his friends, but it's not OK for him to have an exclusive conversation with Chad while you sit alone awkwardly on the couch.

6. He always offers to share the last slice of pizza with you and then doesn't say anything when you "accidentally" eat way more than half of it

 If the last slice is sacred enough for Drake to rap about it in a love song, ("You could have my heart or we could share it like the last slice") then it must be a real sign of a potentially great romance. 

7. He doesn't manspread across your entire schedule and take over your whole world

It might be flattering if the guy you just met wants to spend all his time with you, but if he's really invested in who you are as a person, he'll encourage you to be your own person and hang out with him when you both have time.

8. He's genuinely interested in (or at least good at faking it) your long, rambly stories about family vacations you took as a kid

Instead of getting frustrated and impatient when you talk for 10 minutes about that one weird trip you went on in 2007, he's excited to hear about what happened after that fight you had with your little brother in the backseat of the family van.

9. He doesn't get upset when you say you need some alone time

You would understand if he needed some, and he doesn't want to take over your life anyway. 

10. He never says things like, "You're being crazy," or, "You're being ridiculous" 

Because he's compassionate and empathetic, and realizes saying things like that make you feel little and stupid, and a good boyfriend would never do those things.

11. He makes you feel like a hot babe all the time

You don't want to spend a significant amount of time with a guy who makes you feel insecure or question whether or not he's attracted to you.

12. He has female friends who aren't just a collection of women who've seen his penis before

 If other girls (who aren't exes or former flings) like him enough to be his friend, he's probably a good guy that you'll also enjoy spending time with (and kissing a lot).
