If you are here, it's because you are wondering whether your casual hookup is boyfriend material or not, and that's a good question. A lot of hookups actually result in a relationship, but it's important to know the difference between a guy who is genuine boyfriend material or a guy who may sound like a good idea, but really isn't... Sometimes someone a man can be boyfriend material but not right boyfriend material for you... We are going to explore whether he is 1. boyfriend material and 2. good for you to make sure that you aren't making the wrong decision when getting involved with him in a more emotionally intimate way.

Different ways of knowing whether you've found boyfriend material can vary. If you have found yourself a kind person who is looking out for not only their best interest, then they are boyfriend material! Someone who is interested in you and only you without you having to question it, is definitely boyfriend material... Someone who is great at fighting and has no problem trying to see and understand your point of view is boyfriend material. If he knows what he wants when it comes to monogamy, and if his views match yours, he is boyfriend material. If he is successfully able to compromise without taking away too much of what he wants but is also able to give you what you want as well... to check out more ways of finding out whether your hookup is boyfriend material or not, continue reading below...

Making sure that someone is going to be good to you is an important trait to look for in a good partner. If you have ever felt like you were unworthy of his time, belittled by him, taken for granted by him and so on, you may not want to get into a relationship with him. Have you ever heard the saying that whoever is not nice to the waitress, is not a nice person? This goes for him, though instead of you being a waitress, you are a human being. If someone is making you feel bad at any point when they know better than to do certain things, they are most likely not boyfriend material. If he is rude or unfair to you, or anyone else you may encounter, steer clear. You can do better than this!

He doesn't make you question whether he is into you or not. You will be able to tell that without a doubt this guy is into you, and you only. With men, it is extremely easy to tell whether they like you or not by the way they act around you. Someone who is only into you will do absolutely anything to make you happy and to make you smile. If you get the slightest feeling that someone is disinterested, they probably are. Your intuition will be your best friend when it comes to choosing a worthy partner who is boyfriend material, and if it's telling you that you are not wanted by this man, move on! Especially if you are starting to catch feelings for this person. You do not want to fall in love just to find out that they are not as interested in you as you are them.

Have you gotten into a fight? This is a great way of seeing whether someone is boyfriend material or not. If you have gotten into any type of fight over anything, it is important to see that someone can fight with you and actually have it go somewhere positive. They listen attentively and don't make everything seem like it's your fault. When we are seeing someone casually, it can sometimes be rare to get into a fight, but if you've been seeing one another for some time, you may have the chance and time to get into an argument. If you haven't seen this side of them yet, try getting into a casual debate about something you feel passionately about and see how they argue (even though it isn't too serious). Someone who is bad at arguing will always believe that they are right and that nothing you say can sway them. If they try understanding your point of view, this can be a huge sign that your hookup is in fact boyfriend material.

Depending on whether you believe in monogamous relationships or not, it is nice to know if the guy you are thinking about has the same views as you. If you believe in being in a monogamous relationship, make sure that he has the same ideas as you. Depending on what the both of you believe, and whether you are both on the same page, you will be able to tell if he is boyfriend material at the moment. If he believes in monogamy but isn't ready at this time, then you know that you probably should not be getting into anything with him right now.

When you feel uncomfortable with someone, it can be one of the worst feelings in the world. Things are awkward and you just don't want to be there under any circumstance. You tell a joke and maybe they don't understand it, or you like a certain position that they just can't seem to get their head around... If there are a lot of uncomfortable situations in the casual hookup relationship you two have, this probably isn't the guy for you, and that's okay. There are many guys out there who you will feel comfortable with. If you are comfortable with the guy you are currently hooking up with to the point where you can say anything, do anything, be silly and so on... he is boyfriend material! Not only do you feel comfortable around him, but he also feels very comfortable around you. You can tell when someone is comfortable or not by the way their body is talking to you. If they have trouble looking in your eyes, or have their body facing away from you, they are most likely uncomfortable, and that can be a real issue. In this case, they may be shy, but if you have been hooking up for a while now, they probably are not the person you want to fall into a relationship with.

Compromise is a huge part of being in a healthy relationship. You have to be able to put things on hold for the other person whether it is about watching a television show they like, or listening to the music they like that you may not be into. Not all compromises are huge, but if you can see that the man you are thinking of pursuing is great at compromises, bingo! Are you going to his place tonight or yours? If he always wants you to come to his place and there is no talk about coming over to yours, sounds like BAD compromising skills. If you are always the person buying condoms, BAD compromising skills. If you both make efforts that never make the other person think about whether the other person cares about your interests or comfort, you've got yourself some boyfriend material.

Little things are big things. Even though you may only be hooking up with this person, if they are as interested in you as you are them, you will be able to notice that they do cute, little things for you. Surprising you with pretty much anything is great, but if you can tell that he's gone above and beyond for you when you haven't expected anything from him throughout your whole hookup, it means that he is not only very interested in being with you, but he is also boyfriend material! Anyone who isn't boyfriend material/who isn't interested in you, will never do any small gestures to show you that he cares. If you can't tell what little things are or not, they are the things that you find yourself smiling at (fake smiles do not count). They are the things that surprise you and make you feel like you're the most special person in the whole world at the time. Little things that he remembers count. If he can remember certain things like your birthday or your shoe size, he is very interested and is also boyfriend material.

One way to be ungraceful when it comes to being in any kind of relationship is running when things are tough. If you are hooking up with this person and for any reason an issue arises, good problem solving can prove that this person is boyfriend material. If there is an issue right from the beginning, sure, it probably isn't meant to be, but if you have been seeing one another from some time now and things are starting to pop up and he is still around trying to make things work with you - he is totally interested and wants things to continue moving forward. It is a GREAT trait for someone to have (problem solving). Hold onto him if he is a good problem solver and can handle issues with grace.

Figuring out if your casual hookup is boyfriend material or not is actually a lot easier than you may think. Go through all of these signs again if you are still having trouble figuring out whether he is boyfriend material or not. To recap, if the man you are hooking up with is a genuinely kind person, there is a good chance that he is in fact boyfriend material. If he doesn't seem to be a good person and you are beginning to want a relationship... GET OUT. You don't want to be involved with someone who isn't a nice person. Even if he is nice to you and unfriendly to everyone else, it will end up biting you at the end. Is he a kind person? Boyfriend material. Another way of telling whether or not if he is boyfriend material is if he is clear in his actions about wanting you and only you. If you find yourself questioning whether or not this guy likes you, there is a good chance that he is NOT boyfriend material. If you can seriously tell that he likes you a lot and isn't looking for anyone else, ding ding ding, boyfriend material! If he is good at arguing and tries seeing and understanding your point of view, there is a good chance that he is boyfriend material! If he can compromise without complaining and whining, he is one step ahead most men, and that's a plus! If he does little things for you that no one else does, there is a good chance that he is very much into you. If you find yourself surprised more often than not about the way he treats you and how he handles things, he is a keeper and is boyfriend material. If the guy you have been casually hooking up with has all of these qualities, he is more like marriage material - let's not get ahead of ourselves though... Even if he only has a few of these qualities, he is probably a really good guy. Know what is important to you and if you see that he has everything you need and want in a relationship, he is a keeper and it's safe to move forward with him!
