You should date a man that has big plans for his future. If he has goals, and actually works toward achieving those goals, it shows that he's determined, intelligent, and responsible.
2. He Compliments You

Not all compliments will work, of course. But if he gives you compliments that actually make you feel beautiful, instead of like a piece of meat, it means he's a good guy.
3. He Doesn’t like Multiple Girls at Once

If you're the only one he's crushing on, then that's a good sign. It means he's a one-woman man.
4. He Treats You like an Equal

He shouldn't see you as inferior, because you're a woman, because you make less money than he does, or for any other reason. He should treat you as an equal in all respects.
5. He Asks You about Your Day

If he asks you about your day, and actually listens when you talk about your day, then he's a keeper. Most men would tune out after a few minutes of chatter.
6. Your Parents Love Him

Most of the time, your parents are going to hate the boys you bring home, because they know you deserve the very best. So if they actually like your boyfriend, it must mean he's a great guy.

If he can tell when you cut your hair a few inches, it means he likes you enough to notice the little things. If he didn't care about you, he'd be oblivious.
12. He’s Close with His Family

If he treats his mother like a queen, then he's probably going to treat you like a princess, because he was obviously raised right.

Couples fight. However, he shouldn't get so mad that he throws things or hits you when he's angry. He should know how to control his temper.
16. He Responds to Your Texts
