The Difference Between A Typical Boyfriend And A Serious Boyfriend (3 of 7)

4. A boyfriend knows your strengths. A serious boyfriend accepts your flaws.

A typical boyfriend’s initial attraction is often a response to your most visible strengths. Your face is gorgeous. You ooze confidence. You have a quick sense of humor. However, a serious boyfriend is aware of your insecurities. Your compulsions. Your occasional impatience. He accepts all of these traits because as far as he’s concerned, your good qualities far outweigh the negatives.

5. A boyfriend calls you beautiful. A serious boyfriend makes you feel beautiful.

Any boyfriend (and frankly speaking, any random dude on the street) can tell you you’re beautiful. But it takes a serious boyfriend to make you feel beautiful inside. He installs confidence in you; he shows unconditional love; he makes you feel whole.
