11 Ways My Boyfriend Proves That 'Decent Guys' Still Exist
Vivian Moussa

Every girl creates an image of her "dream guy." Maybe he's tall, athletic, or someone who can always make you laugh. These are all great attributes to any guy, but in reality, what's important is how a guy makes you feel and what he adds to your life. It's when you can be your complete self around him that you know you've found "the one."

However, decent guys seem hard to come by in our society. It might take some searching and dealing with some douches, but I promise you, good guys still exist! Here's how my boyfriend still reminds me of this every day:

1. He takes selfies with me when he clearly doesn't want to

It's all about the memories right?! Even if you're guy doesn't like taking pictures, make him! He'll appreciate it down the road even if he won't admit to it now.

2. He takes you out to eat

It doesn't need to be anything fancy! My boyfriend and I love to eat, and then eat some more. It's okay for your guy to treat you (and himself).

3. He goes grocery shopping with you

Grocery shopping and having to carry heavy bags long distances can be a pain! There's no shame in having your man help you do your chores.

4. He enjoys snuggle time

I can't imagine any guy not wanting to curl up next to his girl, and any guy who claims he's "too cool" for it is someone you shouldn't want to be with. This is by far the best way to spend time with one another.

5. He does something only because he loves you

My boyfriend warned me he couldn't ice skate, but I still insisted he go! Despite some falls onto the ice, we had a good time because we were able to spend time together. It's all about compromising in relationships and doing things you wouldn't normally do just because it would make the other person happy!

6. He does "girly" things

Who doesn't love pampering themselves? Real men won't be ashamed of doing face masks; instead, they will LOVE to show off their silky skin.

7. He gets you gifts

Gifts don't have to be material items. They can be as easy as a handwritten love note. It's the thought behind it that really makes each gift special.

8. He's not afraid to be goofy

Letting lose and being yourself makes a relationship 10x more fun. Who wants to boring all the time? Have fun!!

9. He understand your makeup obsession

He might not fully agree with it, but he definitely respects it. And what's a better way then adding to your collection!

10. He turned into a coffee addict like you

Mr. "I don't drink coffee" now can't go a day without it! Relationships are all about learning new perspectives, and it's much better to do so with a coffee in hand.

11. He's your best friend

Even if it's just a Facetime, you have to see each other everyday. You want to be with them all the time because they're more than a romantic partner, they're your bff.

These are just 11 ways my boyfriend can bring hope to you, that yes decent guys still exist!

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
