Hey there, my dear daughter,
As you step into the world of dating and relationships, it’s time to have a real chat about the difference between “nice guys” and “good men.” It feels like just yesterday you were a kid, and now here we are! You’ll meet plenty of young men who will be drawn to your beauty—both inside and out. But remember, it’s crucial to know that not every “nice guy” is a good man.
A Lesson from the Past
Let me tell you a quick story. Back in college, I had a friend named Sarah who dated a guy we’ll call Jake. Jake was tall, charming, and always had a way of making her smile. He would surprise her with little gifts and plan fun dates that made her feel special. Everyone saw him as a “nice guy,” but behind that charm was a different story. He would often flirt with other girls and lead Sarah on, only to apologize later and promise change. It was a cycle of heartbreak that made me realize, despite his exterior, Jake wasn’t a truly good man.
It’s easy to be charmed by nice guys—they’re great at making a good first impression. They know how to make you laugh and can spin words that make you feel great. But as you meet more people, you’ll start to see that the distinction is significant.
Understanding the Difference
A nice guy might sweet-talk you, but a good man will show you through his actions that he’s committed. A nice guy might buy you flowers, but a good man will invest in your dreams. And while a nice guy may hold the door open for you, a good man will be there holding your hand when times get tough.
When you’re considering someone seriously, ask yourself: Does he consistently show responsibility, kindness, and integrity? Or is he just good at charming you without the substance behind it? Trust me, I’ve been there, and it’s all too easy to get lost in the allure of nice guys.
