Dating a Man vs Dating a Boy

There’s nothing that I love more than a man.  A big, hunky man.  AM I RIGHT, LADIES?!  wink wink

But beware my honeys, there is a BIG, and I mean BIG, difference between dating a MAN and dating a BOY.   Lucky enough for you sweet thangs, I’m going to help you learn how to differentiate between the two.

PSA: Differentiating a MAN vs a BOY is NOT, I repeat, is NOT based solely on age.  I’ve dated guys that are 25 that are far more mature and far more MANLY than guys I’ve dated that are 35…

 

So, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO:

 

DATING A MAN VS DATING A BOY

 

MAN:  Holds the door open for you

BOY:  Expects you to open the door yourself

 

MAN:  Pays for your food

BOY:  Expects you to pay for your own food/asks to split the bill #eyeroll

 

MAN:  Communicates his feelings/emotions calmly and clearly

BOY:  Ignores you, yells at you, BLOCKS you, blames you and does NOT express his feelings/emotions in a respectful manner

 

MAN:  Treats you like a queen

BOY:  Treats you like a bro

 

MAN:  Makes plans for the future.  Has clear goals and ambitions

BOY:  Doesn’t plan for the future.  Only cares about the moment – aka going to the bars every night

 

MAN:  Will invest fully in you and the relationship

BOY:  Scared of commitment/hits the hills running the moment you say the word “boyfriend”

 

MAN:  Is firm in his morals and values

BOY:  Doesn’t have set morals/values – very inconsistent

 

MAN:  Has integrity – if he says he’s going to do something, whatever it may be, he will do it

BOY:  Makes endless broken promises

 

MAN:  Stable income and work life

BOY:  Broke AF

 

MAN:  Will take you out on dates

BOY:  Invites you over to “Netflix and chill”

 

MAN:  Has intellectual conversations about the world

BOY:  Doesn’t talk about anything deep and meaningful

 

MAN:  Is there to comfort you in your times of need

BOY:  Runs away from anything displeasing – he will NOT wipe away your tears, darling

 

MAN:  Makes you feel secure in yourself and the relationship – always brings you up

BOY:  Makes you feel insecure about yourself and the relationship –  brings you down and makes you constantly question everything

 

MAN:  Doesn’t put a huge emphasis on social media unless it’s work/family/friend related

BOY:  Follows HELLA HOES on Instagram and consistently likes their photos

 

So ladies, MAKE SURE YOU DATE A MAN AND NOT A BOY!!!
