In Defense Of The “Boring Guy”

When we were little girls, we dreamt of Prince Charming sweeping us off our feet. We couldn't imagine falling for anyone else, but things change as we get older.

In Defense Of The “Boring Guy”

When we start dating as teenagers, very few of us are like Cinderella and pick the right guy. Unfortunately, most of us are like Anna from Frozen (not sorry for the spoiler because how have you not seen it?) and fall for the villain disguised as a Prince. We see the red flags but often ignore them because he’s so charming.

Why do we do this? Because in our teens and early twenties, we often deem the good guy as the “boring” guy and end up falling for men who aren’t good for us.

Who Is “The Boring Guy”?

The “boring guy” is the guy who is good for you and will provide you with a healthy and stable relationship. He’s handsome but not brooding. He’s fun, but he’s not dangerous or a thrill. He’s not a "nice guy," he's a good man, and he’s husband material. Most importantly, he’s good to you and loves you.
