“He should always listen when you’re talking. In order to check it, you could give him an ‘is he boyfriend material quiz’. You could playfully ask him things like what your favorite color is or what classes you are taking. If he listens, he will answer them with ease. If he has no idea what you’re talking about, you should move on to a guy who cares enough about you to actually pay attention to you.”

“You’re not his back-up plan. A man who’s boyfriend material wants to pursue you. He is proactive about making plans with you, because he doesn’t want to see you find someone else first. Instead of calling you at nine o’clock on a Sunday night to meet for a drink, he makes plans days in advance for Saturday night.”

“You feel comfortable around him. It’s important to feel comfortable around anyone you date, but some people feel more like ‘home’ than others. A guy who is boyfriend material feels good to be around. You enjoy spending time with him, and you aren’t worried so much about what you say or do that might turn him off. Instead of your mind spinning or feeling nervous, he makes you feel more relaxed the more you get to know him.”
