If He Does These 17 Things, You Have A "Unicorn Boyfriend" (Don't Let Him Go!)
The unicorn exists!
getty For so long, I pined after the bad boys — you all know those types. The ones with a reputation and you wanna prove, you are the one who can change him. But it never happens. All that happens, is you become another name on a long list of people, he too has hurt.
The only thing worse than these types of guys are us girls continuing to go after them, then we’re surprised when history repeats itself. We don’t look at the similar characteristics, of these assholes we claim to want.
But then, every once in a while you get it right, you almost think, it’s so wrong that something could be going so right.
He’s the unicorn boyfriend and he does exist, despite the rumors. This mythical creature stands before you, continuing to awe you, you are forced to rub your eyes, thinking he’s gonna run away and it was all a dream.
But he doesn’t. Here's how you'll know he knows how to be a good boyfriend.
1. He’s honest
You don’t catch him in lies or ever backtracking. He’s been honest with you from the start.

Those times where he just grabs your face and kisses you, “just because,” is your favorite.

You are important to him, so he wants everyone to know it. There was once a time, where you were invited to guy's houses, only when no one was home, you look back and wonder why you tolerated that.
9. He asks about you
He wants to know everything about you. And even though, not all the things are great, he doesn’t judge you for it.

Even to the things you aren’t saying. He watches you, out of the corner of his eye, as fascinated in you, as you are him.
16. He has your heart and doesn’t play with it
Most of all he knows the value of a woman’s heart and knows how to handle it.
17. He makes this thing fun
