Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Expanded Edition: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment

by Steve Harvey

I’ve listed questions here that you should consider as you formulate your top ten requirements, and I’ve left space for you to document your list: 1. What specific kind of man are you looking for? (For example, funny? Hardworking? Generous?) 2. How do you expect to be pursued? (Do you want regular phone calls? Text messages? Dates at least three times a week? Do you want him to always pick up the tab?) 3. What level of commitment do you expect? (Do you want an open relationship? Or to date exclusively? Should it be up for discussion?) 4. What kind of financial security do you expect this man to have? (Do you want him to be rich? Do you want him to make more money than you? Are you okay with a blue-collar worker?) 5. Do you want a man who wants kids and is family oriented? 6. Does he have to be religious/spiritual? 7. Do you mind if he’s a divorcé or has kids? 8. Can you help a man build his dream? Can you adapt to his plan? 9. What do you expect of his family? (Should you get along with his mother? Do you care if he doesn’t get along with her? Or if his father was never around?) 10. What should he be willing to do to woo you? (Should he pursue you? Give you expensive gifts?)
