A Girls Guide to her Boy Friend....

1. Help Him When He Needs It. When your guy friend needs a hug or a shoulder to cry on, be there. If you're trying to get closer or you're just being a good friend, even guys need a shoulder to cry on. Don't be afraid to make that shoulder yours. He'll appreciate you more than just the friend that plays Halo and brings the snacks.

2. Don't Take Him For Granted. Guys have feelings, more than a lot of girls think. He knows when he's being taken advantage of, whether it be for his ultimate gaming system or hot friends. Don't use him, don't hurt him, don't make him feel like he's a doormat.

3. Guys Need Love, Too. Just because he's a manly, stinky hulk of a man doesn't mean he doesn't need a hug now and again. He might not show it in front of his guy friends, because that's how guys are, but he will need to be loved just like everyone else. May you be the sister-like-friend or the more-than-just friends, he'll need your love eventually. Last but not least,

4. Support Him. I cannot stress this enough. Men might be confident in their actions, but inside, they're faltering. Their dreams are real, just like yours and mine, and just because they're guys doesn't mean they're any more or less confident than we are. They'll need support in their actions. Don't think his dream of being in a heavy metal band are dumb, especially if he already knows how to play guitar and has practice three times a week. Instead, support him, and refer back to Food, except it's the band instead of video games
