When you start seeing someone, it's important to know whether you and that person are on the same page regarding your relationship. One of the most common things that women expect from a relationship is a commitment, but that's usually not the case with men. If you believe that you've found the one you want worth spending your life with, then you must make sure if the feeling is mutual or not.
When a man is interested in a committed relationship with you, he will send you some signs. Even if he's shy about it, there's no denying that the way he treats you would be different. Read on to find out some signs he wants a committed relationship to help you figure things out.
Signs He Wants to Commit to You
Is he my boyfriend? Does he want to make it official yet?
Have you ever found yourself asking those questions? If you're wondering if he sees you more than just a friend, then you should pay close attention to how he acts around you. Subtle changes in his behavior are often signs he wants a committed relationship. Everyone is different, but here are some general behavior changes that might be a hint for you to make it official.
1. He wants to be around you
If he truly loves you, then he'll want to be with you a lot. No matter if it's a fancy dinner date or a stay-at-home movie night, he simply enjoys your companion. If he loves spending time with you and can't get enough of you, that means he's serious about you.
2. He lets his guard down when he's with you
He tells me he feels good around me. Have you ever experienced that? If so, then congratulations! That means he feels comfortable enough to let his guard down when he's with you. Men usually repress their emotions, but if he can be emotionally expressive and even vulnerable around you, that means he's ready to commit to you.
3. He makes you feel comfortable
Do you feel like you can tell him anything without having to be afraid of being judged? A man that makes a woman feel comfortable around him is a man who cares and loves unconditionally. If you can express yourself freely around him, that means he accepts you for who you really are.
4. He's interested in your personal life
Most men are usually aloof with women they don't really care about. So, if he's genuinely interested in your personal life, career, hobbies, or just your day in general, that means he truly cares for you.
5. He introduces you to his friends and family
If a man wants you to meet his friends and family, that means he's serious about you. A lot of guys are afraid of introducing their girlfriend to their friends and family because they aren't ready to commit yet. So, if he's willing to introduce you to the people close to him, that means he's ready for a committed relationship.
6. He prioritizes you
When a man is invested in a woman he loves, he will treat her as a priority. He'll make an effort to spend time with you, listen to your problems, and help you out when needed because you're important to him. Pay attention to his behavior. If he prioritizes you, then he loves you more than you realize.
7. He makes time for you
Related to the point above, if a man truly loves you, he'll try to make time for you. No matter how busy his schedule is, he'll still make time to call or even meet you. A man who spares time to be around you is a loving and caring man who's ready to be committed.
8. He refers to you two as "we"
This may be a simple gesture, but you have to realize that it takes a lot of courage for a man to refer to you as "we". Pay attention when he talks with you and others, does he refer to you as a couple? If so, then he's already comfortable enough to enter the committed couple life with you.
9. He talks about the future
Someone who isn't ready to commit will avoid discussions about the future at any cost. So, when a man is ready to commit, he won't be afraid to make future plans with you. He will freely discuss his future together with you and he won't make abstract plans. Instead, he'll make real, concrete plans about the future. And one day, he'll follow through with his plans.
10. He asks for your advice and opinions
Whenever he faces a problem or a life-changing decision, does he ask for your advice and opinions? If so, that means he values your feelings and thoughts. A man who values his partner's opinions is a man who's ready to enter the next level in the relationship.
11. He supports your endeavors
When you talk to him, you'll be able to speak about your dreams and hobbies without being afraid of judgment. He will even support you, no matter what your endeavors may be. If your man is like this, then congratulations! You have a loving and caring man who's definitely ready to commit his heart and soul to you.
12. He says it outright
Can it be more obvious? Saying that he wants to date you exclusively is one of the biggest signs he wants a committed relationship. If you're on the same page with him, don't hesitate to accept when he asks you whether you want to make it official or not.
Takeaway Message
