No More Bad Boys: How to Learn to Finally Start Liking Good Guys

He should be proud of you

Another thing bad boys get medals for: a millisecond of PDA. A bad boy gives you a brief hug in front of friends and you spend all night glowing, thinking, “Oh my goodness. Maybe this is finally going somewhere!” That’s what dating bad boys for a while will do to you—make you forget your own value…HELLO! A man should be proud to be with you. A good guy will be. A good guy isn’t trying to keep his options open by still trying to appear single even when he’s with you. A good guy isn’t trying to make you feel grateful for being by his side. When you’re dating a good guy, you’re both grateful to have each other, and you both show it. It’s not a game of proving who is more desirable—as it is with bad boys. It’s an environment in which you naturally want to find ways to show each other that you find one another desirable.
