Guys, listen up because we will give you a few simple tips that will make you the best boyfriend. These things are the qualities of amazing boyfriends that women stand by.

Read on so you no longer have to wonder what it takes to be a great boyfriend. You also don’t have to worry anymore and simply put the blame back on women, saying they are impossible to satisfy. It is possible to satisfy them if you do these things.

Now, when you already do these things and she still thinks that you are a mediocre boyfriend, the problem might be her. At least now, you know so you can move forward.

15. He believes in you

Whatever it is that you do, something as personal as studying for an exam or saving babies somewhere out there in the world, he believes in you. He believes that everything you do can make a difference, whether for personal growth or to change the world. He is your number one confidant. Even if you miss to reach your goals, he knows that you did your best and you can try again in the future.

The most amazing boyfriend gives you a boost of confidence when you don’t believe in yourself. He believes that you will ace anything you set your mind on.

14. He listens to you

The most amazing boyfriend pays attention to every word that is coming out of your month. No matter how much it does or does not makes sense, he hears out everything you have to say. You may just be having PMS and nagging him, but he will still listen to you. You may just be having a bad day at work and just wants to rant, but he will lend an ear and console you.

Often, the best thing a boyfriend can offer is his ears (and his time). You may not need him giving you advice, but as long as he is there to hear you out, that can be enough to make you feel consoled. The best boyfriend listens with intent and genuine interest.

13. He is not shy about being sweet

Whether you are alone together or you are out with friends and family, he is not shy to show his affection to you. It does not have to be too much display of public affection, but it is enough to make you feel that he is proud of your relationship. He makes it known to others without being over the top.

He is not shy to hold hands with you in public. He kisses you goodbye even when there are other people around. He hugs you tight to make you feel safe even outside. He is not afraid to get teased for being a little cheesy.

12. He is proud of you

The most awesome boyfriend is always proud of you and your achievements. Regardless if you fail or if you only attain a tiny achievement, he will see to it that you will feel that he is lucky to have you. He is your number one fan and he is always by your side to congratulate you for all your efforts. He will talk about you with his friends and family, and boast to them about your achievements.

Even if you fail, you will never feel like a failure with him. He will be your ultimate cheerleader sans the routine and pompoms. Yet, him being there will be enough for you.

11. He admits his shortcomings

He may be your superman but he knows when to admit defeat. No one is perfect and he knows that. He acknowledges his shortcomings and he accepts that there are things that you are better at than him. He does not need to be always the best at everything but even when he loses, he remains confident and does not sulk in one corner. He never rants but does things to improve himself.

He is strong but he knows that admitting that there are aspects that you are stronger at than him does not mean he is weak. He lets you enjoy your victories even if that means beating him on certain things. He knows you are together and whoever wins, it is a victory for both of you.

10. He never forgets important occasions

He knows all the important occasions in your life and all the milestones in your relationship. He may pretend to forget but you can be sure that you are in for an amazing surprise. It does not have to be a grand surprise as long as he remembers. Maybe, he will bring some of your closest friends together to surprise you on your birthday. He will also work on surprising you on your anniversary, and it can be something as simple as creating love notes for you to find during the day, or filling your room with little mementos that will surely sweep you off your feet.

Actually, he will even make a no-occasion celebration a thing between you two. When you least expect it, he will amaze you.

9. He always thinks about you

When you are not together, he never fails to send a quick text to start off your day or to ask how your day went. If you will not be together for quite some time, he always makes sure that he calls you to catch up. He makes it known to you that he is thinking of you even when you are not together. Without being clingy, you feel that you are an important part of his day and his life.

When you are together, he spends as much quality time as he can with you. He hangs out with you and makes sure that you have a fun time together.

8. He lets you enjoy your own hobbies

Although he thinks of you often, he does not prevent you from enjoying your own things. He lets you enjoy your hobbies, even if that means he is not part of those activities. He lets you go out with your friends and respects that a ‘girls night out’ means he is not invited to it.

Still, he tries to learn things that you can enjoy together even if those things were not his things initially. For instance, you enjoy traveling but he does not. He puts an effort in taking trips with you and gives traveling a chance for him to like it. Eventually, he ends up enjoying things that you used to do alone and now you can do together.

7. He makes sure you are safe

The most awesome boyfriend makes you feel safe. He acknowledges that you are a strong woman and even if that is the case, he still makes sure that you are safe with or without him. After a date, he walks or drives you home. However, if you don’t want that, he will respect that and still wish for you to be safe.

When you go your separate ways, he checks on you just to make sure you arrived home safely. When outside with him, he checks that you are on the safe side of the road. He is your blanket of protection.

6. He makes you feel comfortable

To him, you are more than enough.

He likes you for who you are and he never tries to change you. He likes the way you look when you wake up in the morning without any makeup on. He likes the way you look when you are all sweaty after cleaning up the home or after returning from the gym. He likes the way you look even when you are sick. And regardless of how you look, you feel comfortable around him.

It is hard work to always look and feel 100% so during the moments you look less than that, you know that he will not dislike you because to him you are always at your prettiest.

5. You never have to beg for his attention

He gives you his full attention especially during times you need it the most. He makes time for you especially when you are feeling down or you want to celebrate an amazing feat. You never have to beg for his attention. You can tell him everything, and he will be there to listen and comprehend your thoughts.

The most amazing boyfriend is one who is not distracted by other things when you promised to spend time together. Although you enjoy different things, he will try his best to do the things you enjoy as you try to understand his likes. He will stop in the middle of a game and give you attention without even asking for him to do that because he knows that is what you need.

4. He is patient with you

No matter how fickle you can be, he rarely gets annoyed by it. Often, he sees this quirk as something cute. As your boyfriend, he tries to be more firm when you are going back and forth. Still, he considers your thoughts and emotions, but if a decision has to be made and you can’t make it, he makes you feel that he can decide for the both of you – and it is the best decision as a couple.

He does not lose his temper over the trivial fickleness like you deciding where to eat. Actually, he knows you well that he will decide to go to your favorite restaurant.

3. He gets to know your parents

The best boyfriend tries not only to know you but also your parents and everyone dear to you. This does not mean he tries to impress them but at the very least, he exerts some effort to meet them and be familiar with them. Even if it scares him, he shows the intention of meeting your family, especially your dad. He does not only woo you, but he also aims to win your family’s heart.

He is there during important occasions and he never misses important gatherings with your family. He does not shy away from them and he considers them like his own family too.

2. He does not stay mad for very long

In any relationship, it is inevitable to have a fight. Even the couple that we think are perfect have arguments and bad moments together. However, the most amazing boyfriend does not let the sun set over an argument. He may get mad because that just means he really loves you, but he is reasonable enough. He is still right by your side despite your differences and he does not stay angry long. He listens to your reasons and tries to work things out together.

Arguments are normal in any relationship especially if you have been together for a long time. The honeymoon phase passes but to make a relationship last, he knows to choose his battles.

1. He will never cheat on you

You are not just his number one girl but actually, you are the only one. There is no number two or any other number after you. He will never cheat on you or will give you a reason to feel like you are being cheated on. When you get jealous, it is easy to see that there is no reason to be jealous because he makes you feel secured.

The most amazing boyfriend will make you feel that being in a relationship is easy even if in reality, it is not. With him, you will never feel that there is someone else. He is not secretive unless it is to surprise you on your birthday or anniversary. With him, you know that there is nothing to worry about.
