The difference is simple: a man looks inside you, a boy focuses on how you look. If you have snagged one that looks inside you, never let him go.
1. A man insists on paying up when it comes to trivialities like dates, or hang outs. They would never let you do so, and would graciously back off, but after a fierce fight. A guy would never hesitate to be a free loader, and eat up free food.
2. A guy would be interested in flashy things – flashy hotels, flashy pubs, where he would always take you, never asking if you wanted to be there. A man would take you to places that have some significance in your lives, as a couple.
3. A guy wants to be with you to sleep with you, most of the times. They don’t have the necessary maturity to go deeper beyond bed hopping. But a man would never just use you for his carnal desires, but would always see to it, that everything happens where you are an equal and agreeing participant. They would want to put a ring on the finger.
4. A guy using you for sex would not think twice before betraying you and your feelings. A man would never, in a thousand years, think of you any less than the respect he has given you, and would always uphold you for the person you are.
5. Commitment is an issue that most guys face. They don’t want to commit, whatever the reason. They would rather be someone who is in it for the fun. When the fun is over, and it’s time to take care, they leave. A man would never do that. He is committed.
6. A guy wants to live in the present. Eat chicken nuggets, and sleep together. That’s what his life revolves around. Someone who wants to marry would make elaborate plans for their future that would involve both the people, and their families, and would be decidedly about their own lives.
7. A guy is someone to whom his life matters most. His interests, his hobbies, his appearance, he is concerned with those. Your ambitions, your hobbies, your desires, he doesn’t care. A man would always put you before himself, talking about your future, your interests, your hobbies.
