Transcript

If he gets easily offended, he's a boy. But if he can laugh at himself, he's a man. If he takes photos of himself, he's a boy. But if he takes photos of you, he's a man. If he has a big mouth, he's a boy. But if he keeps things to himself, he's a man. If he makes excuses, he's a boy. But if he holds himself accountable, he's a man. If he takes more than he gives, he's a boy. But if he gives and expects nothing in return, he's a man. If he ghosts or plays mind games, he's a boy. But if he's clear about his intentions and means what he says, he's a man. If he does not have a driver's license, he's a boy. But if he picks you up and drops you home whenever you go out, he's a man. If he gossips, he's a boy. But if he listens to you gossip, he's a man. And if he likes your Instagram stories as a way of flirting, he's a boy. And if he instead listens to your real stories as a way of flirting, oh, he is a man.
