1. A man pays for dinner if he asks you out. And if you asked him out, he at least makes the gesture to pay. A boy will also split hairs about who ordered what. Even though he ate half of your fries and was the one who suggested that you get an appetizer. 2. A man shows up on time. And if he is running late he will let you know. A boy shows up an hour late, having lost track of time playing Call of Duty. 3. A man thinks ahead and plans for his future. Just wanting to invest in his future is a good sign. He doesn�t actually have to have a Roth IRA and a stock portfolio, though that would be nice. A boy plans as far as lunch. And even those plans aren�t set in stone. 4. A man is cool with you hanging out with your guy friends. A boy gets �jelly� when you do. 5. A man will engage with your friends and family. Even if it almost kills him. A boy says he �just isn�t ready for that, yet.� Other things he�s not ready for: settling down, getting a job, returning your box set of Arrested Development, etc. 6. A man has opinions on where to eat. Even if it is a simple, �Sounds good to me.� A boy says, �You pick.� Then proceeds to shut down every suggestion you make. 7. A man doesn�t take himself too seriously. A boy does and cannot take a joke. Seriously, not everything is a personal affront. Take a chill pill, OK? 8. A man thinks farts are funny. A boy thinks farts are funny too. This one is sort of a wash. Although, farting on you he finds hilarious. 9. A man knows how to respond to, �Do I look fat in this?� It�s always �no.� A boy suffers from foot-in-mouth disease. I�m sorry on behalf of my gender. 10. A man is a considerate lover. A boy is considerately not. 11. A man is there when you need a shoulder to cry on. A boy is nowhere to be found.
