Recently, we talked about the differences between the girl you date and the woman you marry, specifically for the guys.
Today, we'll be sharing these tips for the ladies, especially those who are already thinking about settling down. What should you expect when you become a 'Mrs'? Is your boyfriend mature enough to become your husband?
Check out these differences between the boy you date and the man you marry, courtesy of Lifehacker's Allison Renner.
* The boy you date asks you to 'hang out,' which involves less commitment than a date. He wants to have fun with no strings attached.
The man you marry asks you out on dates and is clear about his intentions with you. He wants to be with you and wants you to know where you're headed.
* The boy you date talks with you about people you know from your past, or only shares funny stories because he can't connect on a deeper level.
The man you marry can hold a conversation with you about books, movies, music, and other common interests. This makes for a more substantial relationship in the long run.
* The boy you date will say he never wants to get married or have kids, and nothing will change his mind. Don't try – this is a red flag that he's not Mr. Right!
The man you marry might change his mind about wanting to marry and have kids after he's met you.
* The boy you date hears your attitude, takes it personally, and starts firing it right back at you until it spirals into a major fight.
The man you marry can handle your attitude and talk you down from a ledge. This is especially important when you have major life crises or a bad day at work.
* The boy you date calls you mean and immature names to make himself feel like a winner.
The man you marry fights fairly. He doesn't call you names or use physical force, no matter how angry he gets.
* The boy you date cares too much about looks, and will tease you for looking sloppy until you fix yourself back up to his standards.
The man you marry understands that everyone has good and bad days as far as looks go, and won't hurt your feelings or love you less if your weight fluctuates or you have a bad hair day or forget to shave for awhile.
* The boy you date will say "I'm sorry" because he just wants you to cheer up or stop nagging him. He says "I love you" because he doesn't want to lose you, even though he doesn't really feel the meaning of the words.
The man you marry will say "I'm sorry" because he honestly is, and he never meant to hurt you with his words or actions. He says "I love you" because he truly means it, and wants you to feel that love every minute of your life.
* The boy you date will expect to have things done for him because that's what his mom did, and that's what other girls have done for him, and he doesn't have to take care of himself.
The man you marry will know how to take care of himself: how to cook, clean, do laundry, pay bills, and more – because he's already a man. It's important for people to have this figured out before they're ready to marry, which is a great way to tell what type your guy is.
* The boy you date well, you're too embarrassed to take him to meet your parents, not that he'd ever bring it up himself.
The man you marry wants to meet your parents, and impresses them when he does.
* The boy you date runs at the first sign of trouble because it's too much drama for him, and he doesn't want anything tying him down.
The man you marry sticks with you through tough times because he's committed to you and the relationship, and wants to see it through to the end. Article originally featured on Pulse
