Love Him or Leave Him: 7 Signs He's a Keeper!
By Ashley Rose Howard, Life2PointOh.com
So you've made it past the third date-you are really into this one (*blush*) and the feeling definitely seems mutual. There are no red flags, no hints of flakiness and certainly no obvious signs that you're dating the wrong guy. Perhaps, you've finally found a keeper! How can you be sure? Look for these 7 signs.
Sign #1: He makes an effort to impress you!
There's nothing like a man's eagerness to make you smile. A guy that goes out of his way to order your favorite Starbucks drink or make reservations at the trendy, new restaurant you've been raving about is surely a keeper!
Sign #2: He pays attention.
Did you forget that you mentioned your rather bizarre infatuation with peanut butter? He didn't-which is why he showed up with a jar of (extra chunky!) Jiffy wrapped in a bow on your birthday instead of flowers.
Sign #3: He mentions that he's already told his friends about you.
Getting name-dropped with his boys is certainly the precursor to meeting his buds. And since he wants them to like you almost as much as he does, you can bet he's only telling them how smart, funny, cool and beautiful you are.
Sign #4: You're already included in his plans for the next few weekends.
Snowboarding is one of his fave hobbies. You admit you've never gone, but would love to try it. Done! You've already been invited up to his mountain house next weekend, and the following weekend it's a road trip to Vermont. Making concrete plans is one of the most obvious signs he really likes you!
Sign #5: He's not afraid to show his sensitive side.
Most guys have a tough time opening up about their family or personal lives when they're not that into you. (Run the other way!) If you're looking for a real keeper, go for the guy who tells you all about his childhood growing up on a farm and shows you pictures of his adorable niece and nephew.
Sign #6: There's no one else in the room when he's with you.
Even though that trendy, new restaurant turned out to be an overcrowded bungalow of beautiful women, he only has eyes for you. Hold that gaze, and keep it locked forever!
Sign #7: He respects your rules regarding intimacy.
Whether you're ready to give it up after the first date or you make it clear there will be no sex before monogamy, a real keeper won't push sex until you feel comfortable. And if he's not willing to wait, kindly direct him to the sign that says: EXIT.
Are there any other signs that have showed you he's a keeper?
