Ladies - being smitten with someone is nice.

But if you want your romance to explode into full-fledged love, there are certain things your man must do. Here’s a list, courtesy of the researchers at Condé Nast Publications……

HE MUST: Be able to say "I love you."

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF: He told you why. Even just in a Hallmark card.

HE MUST: Like you just fine when you’re 5 pounds heavier than usual.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF: He actually preferred the five-pound heavier you.

HE MUST: Be willing to apologize.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF: He did it with flowers.

Another thing that makes a man great:

HE MUST: Call his mother.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF: You don’t HEAR her phone ring when he does call.

HE MUST: Be faithful.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF: He took YOU out with the boys to show you off.

And finally – a good man.

MUST: Be honest.

AND IT WOULD BE GREAT IF: He never did anything worth lying about in the first place.
