If These Traits Describe Your Man You Know He’s A KeeperIs He Boyfriend Material? How To Know If He’s Worth Keeping AroundIf Your Boyfriend Possesses These Qualities Hang Onto Him1- He Can Talk To YouWe’ve all heard that communication is key, but what does that mean? If something is bothering him he should have the emotional maturity to communicate it to you instead of distancing himself and putting a strain on your relationship. Silence isn’t always golden when it comes to a solid relationship.2- He Can Listen To YouIt isn’t enough that your man can tell you what he is feeling. He also needs to be willing to listen to you when you have something to get off your chest. While there is a time and place to give advice, sometimes you just need to vent. His willingness to listen to you is important and will build trust and intimacy in your relationship.3- He’s A Good Guy...To EveryonePeople always show their best side when they start dating and are trying to make a good impression. If you are wondering if he’s genuinely a good guy or if he’s just putting on an act, observe how he treats other people. If he’s a jerk to his family, the waiter at the restaurant, or the cashier at the checkout line you can almost guarantee it’ll eventually come around to you. A man with a good heart will be kind to everyone, even when he’s not getting something in return.4- He’s An ObserverIf your boyfriend can take his eyes off of his smartphone long enough to notice what is going on with you he just might be worth keeping around. If he cares about you he will notice things about you. Whether it’s changes in your mood or changes in your appearance, his willingness to pay attention to you is a sign that he cares about you.5- He Can Give As Well As TakeIf it’s his way or the highway all the time, don’t expect it to get better over time. No two people will always want the same things at the same time, but if he is willing to put aside his preferences in favor of doing what you want he’s a man worth keeping. Relationships are give and take, so make sure to put him first sometimes too. 6- He Cares About Who You Care AboutDoes your boyfriend drag his feet when you ask him to spend time with your friends or family, or does he show that he cares about the people in your life? If he is unwilling or unable to enjoy being around your friends and relatives your relationship might be in trouble.7- He Schedules You InLife is busy, we get it. But we make time for the things we value. If time with you is always the first thing to go when he’s planning his night, he might not be boyfriend material. If you find a guy who shows he cares and makes you a priority you’ve got a keeper.8- He’s Got A PlanDoes your boyfriend have life goals beyond beating the next level of his video game? Wanting to make something of his life is an admirable quality that you should look for in your significant other. If he’s got ambitions and principles that he’s willing to pursue that’s a good thing.9- He Challenges YouWhile we want to find a partner who values us for who we are instead of trying to change us, we also want someone who challenges us to grow as a person. Find a boyfriend who spurs you on to reach your potential instead of holding you back.10- He Builds You UpWhile a man who will challenge you to be the best version of yourself is a good thing, he shouldn’t do it by criticizing you and tearing down your confidence. A good partner will help you grow by encouraging you. If he makes you feel valuable hold onto him.11- He Has A Life Outside Of YouWhile his devotion to you is endearing, healthy relationships allow a little space. He shouldn’t drop everything that makes him unique and neither should you. Look for a man who isn’t clingy and jealous, and maintains his own friendships and pursuits without pushing you to the back burner.12- He Doesn’t Let Himself GoWhile very few women are going to find themselves in a relationship with a Zac Efron lookalike, it’s good to find a man who values himself (and you) enough to take care of himself. If he keeps his hygiene and health at reasonable levels you can trust that he has the maturity to take care of the things in his life.13- You Enjoy Being Around HimOne of the keys to a long-term and healthy relationship is an ability to be friends. If you enjoy his company and he knows how to have a good time, that is a positive sign of many more enjoyable years to come.14- He Has A High Opinion Of YouGenuine relationships are built on respect. When you are with him you should feel like your opinions matter, instead of feeling like he sees you as arm candy. If he listens to and heeds your input, especially in important issues, it shows that he respects you and your relationship is solid.
