1. He doesn't consider playing Call of Duty for a couple of hours a date. He doesn't own an Xbox or a Play Station console. He doesn't play video games at all, actually.
2. He doesn't talk like Borat, saying things like, "Very nice!" in that silly accent.
3. He knows his limits and doesn't have the "I need to be drunk to have a good time" attitude.
4. He doesn't pretend to know about things to seem "cool." I heard some boys (yes, they are still boys at my age) chatting, saying they wished they had gone to the Kanye West concert to listen to him "lay down some beats." Yeah...you white boys don't know what you're talking about.
5. He would never wear plaid shorts slung low on his waist while riding a skateboard (or while doing any other activity for that matter).
6. He enjoys going to see the symphony and appreciates classical music and simply the act of culturing oneself.
7. He has manners. He shows up for our dates on time, he gets the car door for me, he pays for dinner (unless I've specifically said I'm taking him out). Finding a younger guy who can even get the first part right is a stretch.
8. He doesn't play with his cell phone when he's with me. I don't even know what type of phone he has. I've never seen it.
9. He lets me know he likes me in a polite way. Young guys tend to play games, trying to be aloof and act like they don't like you. Or they're the exact opposite and clingy as hell. This man strikes a balance. He lets me know he's thinking about me with a text saying hi, or an email with an article he thinks I'll like. But he doesn't follow up his message with another one a couple of hours later saying, "Did you get my message?" And he doesn't use dirty talk to give me a clue that he's into me. If I had a nickel for every time a young guy said something disgustingly sexual as a come-on, I'd be a billionaire by now.
Need I go on?
