Just because one can vote and get a jury summons doesn’t mean that someone is truly an adult. Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell if beneath your beau’s 5’o clock stubble beats the heart of a mature man or a thirteen-year-old. The last thing you want is to find yourself babysitting your date as he throws a temper tantrum! Thank goodness Freeze is here to help you discriminate the men from the boys!

1) When they’ve done something wrong...

Boys: deny it, and when you text them to explain why you’re not talking to him, he responds, “Say what?”

Men: come to your door and give you a heartfelt apology. You can tell he means every word he says.

2) He hasn’t called you in three days, and you call him out for this…

Boys: will still be unresponsive. Nothing gets between him and his Halo marathon! His team is depending on him!

Men: will clear up the next night for you, even if he has to stay up tonight to make room for it.

3) When they’ve just hooked up with you…

Boys: don’t even remember exchanging numbers. He was under the influence, after all, and he can barely remember what you look like, so how can he be held accountable for anything?

Men: call you up to grab brunch. He’s classy enough to see if there’s sparks in the morning.

4) You’ve just lost an important election….

Boys: will tell you to suck it up, bash your winning opponent for a moment or two (She’s not as hot as you are, babe!), and then call it a night. He’s got to rest up if he’s going to conquer tomorrow’s basketball game! Losers are chumps!

Men: will explain to you why he thought you would have been the better candidate for the position, that you can’t take things like elections seriously, and he’s sure this just means that you are destined for something better.

5) You’re blasting Taylor Swift out of his stereos…

Boys: quickly switch it back to T-Pain. No way he’s going to be caught dead by his bros listening to wuss music. They’ll never let him live it down!

Men: turn up the volume. He might even admit that “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me” tie as his favorites!

6) Your best friend has been under the weather for the past few days…

Boys: Warn you to stay away from her. He doesn’t want you to be catching what she has and passing it onto him!

Men: take her to UHS. She’s your best friend, and by association, she’s his responsibility as much as she is yours!

7) You guys have just had a major fight:

Boys: call it quits. Sorry, babe, there’s not enough room in his life for this kind of drama. He thought it was clear that you guys weren’t going to make this complicated!

Men: take the initiative to call and ask to talk things out. You mean a lot to him, and he’s willing to put in the effort to work through the bumps.
