If you manage to find a good guy, you're one of the lucky ones. We all go through a series of 'duds' and guys who don't treat us right before we find the ones that we deserve. It's not as simple as it seems — dating a good guy — especially when you've never been with one before. Apparently I'm one of the lucky ones who managed to find one of these so called "good guys," and with that being said, here's a few things that I learned along the way:

1. You second guess them.

No one can be that sweet and caring all of the time, right? It's really easy to question the intentions of the good guys when you are so used to having the bad ones.

2. You second guess yourself.

It makes you question yourself because it seems that someone who is that good to you has got to be too good for you. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that you don't deserve someone as great as them and it makes you question the relationship as a whole.

3. You realize how much pain you went through with the wrong ones.

Nothing makes you realize how bad you had it like finally getting what you deserve. Being with a guy who treats you well makes you question why you ever settled for anything less in the first place.

4. Every day is a brighter one.

He makes your good days great and your bad days better. You don't have to be together for him to make you smile and when you are together you didn't think it was actually possible to be so happy.

5. You become a better version of yourself.

You try your hardest to be the best you can possibly be, because that's what he deserves. You strive to become not only a good girlfriend but a good overall person as well.

6. You don't have to constantly prove yourself.

He isn't going to love you less if you have a bad day and you don't have to constantly put on a good face in order to keep him interested. He gets to know the great, the good, the bad and the ugly.

7. You will get treated like a princess.

He is there for you emotionally and physically. He will get your car out when it gets stuck in the snow and he will be there when you need a shoulder to cry on or a pint full of ice cream with chocolate of course. He makes sure you feel special and beautiful even when you think you don't deserve it.

8. You find it easier to trust.

There is no reason to question him if he has never given you a reason to doubt him. It's really hard at first because you've never felt so certain and stable in a relationship before, but with him, you do.

9. You think about your future together.

No, your relationship isn't guaranteed to end with a happily ever after but you can't help but see a future in his eyes. He makes you believe in love and makes you think about how great it would be to have him around for a very long time.

10. Your standards are set higher than before.

Hopefully this good guy is the last good guy, but you never know. One thing you can be certain of though is that once you've been with the good guy, you won't settle for anything less. You know they are out there and you are willing to go the distance to find them.

Long story short, nice guys don't always finish last. If you find a keeper, you better hold on tight because they are becoming harder and harder to find these days. You might think that it is too good to be true at first but don't push them out because you are going to be happier than ever before with them. Don't ever settle, your good guy is out there.
