The Dealmaker

In my last article, “The Dealbreaker,” someone posted a comment suggesting my next one be about “DealMAKERS.” I thought that was a great idea. Instead of being so negative, and discussing how guys can turn us off, I wanted to show some ways in which guys can turn us ON. So now, I give you “Dealmakers,” otherwise known as 50 things guys can do to make us smile, make us sit up and pay attention, make us think twice about them, or even make us fall in love with them.

He has great teeth

He opens the car door for you (even if you’d rather get it yourself, you have to admit it’s a sweet, old-fashioned gesture.)

He asks your drink and then gets one for you

He talks fondly (but not too much) about his ex-girlfriend

He gets tested if you ask him to, or, better yet, he already has been tested

He looks you in the eye frequently

He’s funny

He thinks you’re funny and laughs at your jokes - I dated a comedian once, for a brief amount of time. His humor was fantastic, and it was such a nice compliment when I would actually make him laugh

He’s shorter than you, taller than you, or just your height

He likes his job, and you actually enjoy listening to him talk about it

He doesn’t work too much or weird hours

He dresses well

He’s close with his family

He ignores his cell phone when he’s with you - It’s always nice to feel like you take precedence over some phone call. But some calls are emergencies, and it’s always nice to ask or politely excuse yourself if you need to take it

He’s not afraid to embarrass himself in front of other people

He’s nice and charming when he meets your friends

He has a lot of frequent flier miles

He’ll run out to the store to get you something you need, or if you just have a craving

He has an accent

He’s fluent in another language - Spanish is sexy. French is sexy. Italian is sexy. Hell, pig latin can be sexy if you’re good enough at it

He likes animals

He’s good with kids

He’s a good dancer

On your first date, he takes you somewhere not too casual and not too fancy

He’s athletic

He always lets you offer to pay, but never actually lets you (well maybe once in awhile)

He’s great in bed

He’s adventurous and spontaneous-he wouldn’t bat an eye if you wanted to go cliffdiving or eat alligator - My dad once offered to take his date on a trip to Italy. That was on their second date. They went to Florence for their third date, and they’ve now been married for three years.

You’re able to become friends with his friends

He’s cool with you going out, even if he doesn’t want to, and vice versa

He cooks for you (whether he actually can or not)

He drives a nice car (it doesn’t have to be a ferrari, but a nice, clean vehicle is always appreciated)

He has the same taste in music and movies that you do

He sticks up for you

He has goals in life, and goes after what he wants

He will stop and ask for directions

He surprises you and keeps you on your toes

He gives good massages

He holds your hand

He holds your hair back if you’ve had too much to drink

He’s not obsessed with myspace, facebook, etc…

He doesn’t check out other girls-when he’s with you

He looks good with his shirt off

He carries your bags for you

He gets 12 of his biggest, buffest friends to help you move and never complains about it

He’s intelligent and can carry on a conversation

He’s worldly

He’ll go shopping with you

He relocates for you

He doesn’t snore or hog the bed

He adores you
