Wondering if he’s the one? Well, if you want to be absolutely certain that you can take the next step, then here are 10 signs to look out for to check if he’s ready to commit!
1. It’s out in the open …
If your partner is expressive about how much he loves you and seriously talks about how much he wants to be with you – then that’s a really good sign! Lucky you! Most relationships don’t get this far!
When A Man Wants To Become Your Husband, He Starts Acting Like Your Husband. When a man is ready to commit — as a boyfriend or husband — you will know it because he will simply start acting in that role.
2. You’re not a secret!
You know his friends, his family, his office colleagues and just about everyone he associates with! He doesn’t want to keep you hidden like a nasty secret. He’s confident that you’re the one he wants to be seen with.
3. Availability is the key!
No matter how many times you call him in a day, he loves talking to you. That means he is ready to invest time – no matter how much work he has! But don’t go overboard with your calls!
4. His plans include YOU …
When he talks to his family or friends about his weekend plans he almost always talks about you! You are a vital part of his life – and he wants the world to know it!
Wee, 20 yrs old student from Malaysia, said:
When he switches from “me” to “we”, that’s a sign he’s commiting to you at a deeper level.If your guy is all “I”, “me”, and “my” instead of “we” and “us” in conversations after you’ve been dating a while, his mindset is still in single guy mode.
5. No guessing about the future …
When he discusses his future goals and plans he certainly has you in mind! So if you hear him using the word ‘we’ – you know you have your man forever! If he sees a future with you, then that’s half the job done!
6. You’re a couple …
Well, that’s his way of finding excuses to be around you. Now if this goes on well beyond the first year of dating then you’re on safe ground! He’s really ‘into you’ and that’s good news!
7. Best friends for life …
He shares his innermost secrets and thoughts with you. You’re his confidant and best friend. He trusts you with his life. When you don’t have to pry out information, then you know this guy really wants to be candid with you.
8. Your interests matter …
If your man goes the extra mile to find out what you like to eat, which movie you like to see, what kind of clothes you like to wear – then he’s really interested! Let him pamper you so give in and enjoy being treated like a queen.
A commitment-ready guy is going to ask your opinion, consult you about decisions he needs to make, and has the ability to meet you half-way.
9. He respects your decisions …
If you say ‘Honey I don’t like to watch football on TV’ and he respects that, then you know he respects you as well. Respect for your partner’s decisions is vital for a steady commitment!
10. He is secretly checking your ring size!
Here is the clincher! Do we need to say it? There’s definitely marriage on his mind! If he’s checking your ring size it means he will propose – very soon!
So now you have it – the 10 signs that show he is truly committed. Enjoy the romance! Savour the excitement. This one’s meant to last a lifetime!
And remember that:
While there’s no specific age at which men are ready to marry (nor do they all mature at the same rate), after a while, going from one superficial relationship to another begins to lose its allure, and they crave a deeper kind of bond with someone… Though bachelorhood can be fun and exciting, it’s often emotionally unfulfilling. And ultimately, at some point, most men want to have that soul-mate connection.

He is ready to commit when he is financially stable.
yeah and if he is not too young for a commitment.
well, sometimes, guys , well we are just nervous of hearing the world : no
But if she is the one, for sure we will ask the question…. and buy the ring.
This could be a article for men re-named: “How to get Laid FAST… & Keep Getting Laid”
Women BEWARE, just beacuse a man says “WE”, talks about the future, & talks to friends about including you in on plans doesn’t mean he wants to commit… it could also mean he wants to keep getting laid, so he makes you THINK he wants to commit… & the friends part, well he probably just wants to make sure they don’t call you by the wrong name. :)
I agree with all of those things and luckily my Fiance does all of these things… and it’s true when he goes from “me” to “we” that’s how you know. Everytime someone asks him to hang out or work on something he brings me with him and he always talks verry highly of me.

too young i guess
I love this post because it just has my fiance written all over it! I have seen other guys at work joke around in front of other guys that their wife is calling them and they dont pick up their cell…but when I call my fiance I can hear other people in the background and I know he still loves to pick up the phone even if people tease him! Everyone knows us and knows that we are a couple and that we’re getting married. He is my best friend and we share each other’s interest and encourage and support one another. He even listens to my post before I send them in!! He is def the one and I couldn’t imagine my life without him.
Man, when will people get a friggin clue. I guess to women “commit” means marriage. The actual definition of the word would be when the BOTH of you quit screwing other people. (or seeing other people, if you want to be G rated) A guy is ready to get married a little while before he proposes. That is unless he has some elaborate thing worked out that is date sensitive. I also wanted to add that if a guy does any of the less marriage related things on this list women will RUN! If you make time to talk to her she thinks “Oh no hes a loser or a stalker because he doesnt blow me off”, same type a thing for a lot of other things on here. AND women need to learn: Guys dont over complicate things for no reason. Now dont get me wrong I think most people OF BOTH SEXES are goddamned idiots. but in closing this article is kinda worthless except you do the opposite of all of these things to attract the women then you act like this later on to keep her. Women want to change the bad boy, they want what they cant have, for some damn reason. A lot of guys do too, I think this is stupid to want someone or something just cuz you cant have it. I cant have a swimming pool filled with feces in the city, but hey thats OK, I DONT WANT IT EITHER!!!! Anyway, there are some good nuggets of truth in here, that is if you can decipher my rambling….
hey umm well i have a almost boyfriend,
i have used all your talking tips and everythings seems to be going good. i need something to make us more interested in one another tho. also he says he wants to just go on dates and if things go good, then he will ask me out, but he is also known as a player. :O , what should i do to grab his attenion and make me somewhat different from all the other girls that he has dated?
please help!
sincerly, the hopeless girlfriend
I agree with glamour girl and ice…me and my boyfriend are not financially stable and im almost 19 and hes almost 21, but im not looking to get married till im about 23 to 25…but my boyfriend does all of these things! my Boyfriend does it…and its so true when he is asking for ur ring size hes going to take a step to the next level as i have a promise ring not an engagement ring…and when he starts using the we/us/ours thats when you know he is in it for good!
When he prefers being around you than going on a boys-night out you know he is ready, when he make effort to be with you and shares his little free time with you, means he is serious =)
That’s insightful, Charamel. Thanks for contributing.
