Some girls are attracted to the cleancut, successful guy, others to the sexy mysterious guy, but the man who makes the best boyfriend is the simple guy. He doesn’t necessarily look like the boy next door, and isn’t automatically deemed boring, but he is certainly not complicated or overly sensitive, and your relationship will be smooth sailing:
1. He says what he means, and he means what he says. You won’t have to second guess his word because he’ll never lie, and he always says what he really thinks.
2. He doesn’t over-analyze what you say, so there won’t be any confusion in conversations.
3. You two will rarely fight. He doesn’t have mood swings, and if he is upset there will be a very clear reason for it.
4. He’s never involved in drama, because he knows that stuff like that is just a waste of time.
5. He gets great enjoyment out of the simplest things in life, like coming across his favorite surf magazine.
6. He won’t always understand “girl” problems, but he’ll be patient and listen to you vent.
7. And he may not have the best advice on what to say to the bitchy girl at work. Poor guy – he’s trying.
8. He won’t play confusing games with you, and not text back because he wants to keep you wondering.
9. When he doesn’t answer a text it’s probably because he fell asleep, or he really just simply forgot his phone at home.
10. You are baffled by his incredible ability to stay calm in difficult situations. He’s tolerant of people’s crazy and you’ve barely ever heard him raise his voice.
11. He grounds you when you are flailing. His cool and collected attitude rubs off when you need it most, and helps you to calm you the fuck down.
12. You may hear yourself say it’s the thought that counts when gifts are exchanged. Okay, so he’s not the guy to scatter rose petals in a trail up to the diamond castle that he built for you, but bless his little heart for trying his best to get you a great gift.
13. He doesn’t doubt where your relationship stands, which should give you a feeling of comfort and security if you ever doubt where it stands.
14. You have badgered him about not caring about something, only to later realize that he was right, and it doesn’t really matter anyways.
15. He will make a complete and utter fool of himself to make you smile when you’re having a bad day. All he really wants is to see you happy, anyways.
16. He doesn’t pick fights, or try to find a problem where there isn’t one.
17. He gets along with everyone, so no matter who you introduce him to, they’ll get along just fine.
18. You will learn that his language may not be as dramatic or fabulous as yours is. Fine, alright, and nice all mean that he really, really likes whatever it is that he’s describing.
19. He’s your best friend. At the end of the day, he’s got your back – no matter what. And although you may sometimes get frustrated by how chill he is, you really appreciate and cherish it more than anything.
We are complicated enough as it is; having a simple boyfriend is the dream.
