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, that’s a really good sign! Lucky you! Most relationships don’t get this far! Speed Dating Expert said: 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.

You’re Not a Secret!

By now, you know just about everyone he associates with! He doesn’t want to keep you hidde* like a nasty secret. He’s confident that you’re the one he wants to be seen with.

Frequently asked questions

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! Of course, don’t go overboard with your calls!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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. Mate Famber said: 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.

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. Respecting for your partner’s decisions are vital for a steady commitment!

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!

He Invites You to Family Functions

If he includes you in family holidays and other special occasions, it's probably because he sees you being around for a very long time. He wouldn't want his family getting close to you if he thought otherwise! If his family already sees you as part of the family, then a marriage might be coming soon to make it official!

He Has Married Friends

This might sound silly but you are who your friends are, right? If your man is constantly surrounded by single friends, he might not want to give up that lifestyle anytime soon. However, if his network of friends includes mostly married men, he's going to feel more comfortable making that leap himself.

He Wants to Move in Together

If your relationship is just getting to this point, it's a good sign. Nothing says commitment like wanting to share your space with someone! For many guys, moving in together is like the "dress rehearsal" before married life. Show him how awesome it'd be to have you around all the time!

So now you have it - the 13 signs that show he is truly committed. Enjoy the romance! Savour the excitement. This one’s meant to last a lifetime!

I been seeing this guy for a long long time and he continues to surprise me. He grew to be my best friend and he is incredibly wonderful and probably one of the most beautiful men that I have ever come across upon. ;) I dated a lot of good looking men but when I first met him I knew he is the one for me!! He talks about his future with me all the time. He asks me if I ever want to get married and how many babies I want. He says you should go and get married...you are so beautiful! He secretly looks at my left hand when I look away right after I say I love your last name! He tells me that he wants to move into a bigger place and getting a dog and then asking me what kind of dog I like. He never said US or WE yet but he has shared his thoughts about his future and asked me questions what I thought. I mean one time when I was having a tough time with my living situation he MENTIONED we should find a place together since his lease is up. He says maybe we should find a place together but that never really happened because we are not there yet. I was shocked when he said that. When I call him a lot even when he is at work he always picks up the phone to talk to me. This guy is scared of commitment and last Friday for the first time he showed me off to his male friends over the phone when I called him. He invited me to join him and his friends...he never did that and it showed me that he was ready to introduce me to his friends as his girlfriend and let everyone know who I was. It was so cute how he reacted. He was all happy and cheerful and showed me off proudly! His guy friends were like come on over! This guy is immovable and challenging and things are moving along. I am in no rush but he won't let me go anywhere. ;)

I'm dating a guy and he says he loves me and doesn't want to lose me and that I'm his but he's never really said I'm his girlfriend so what am I?

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a year and a month and we have been living together since last year august. Since that time we have been through alot of stuff together. But we have gotten through everything and we have always had each other's backs. I love him a whole lot and he says he loves me too. I really think he does. I'm suppose to be leaving the country for a while to visit my family for two months. This would be our very first time being apart from each other since we've been living together. The other day he said to me that us being apart for the two months would be good for us as I have business to take care of and he has some personal issues he needs to take care of. He also said that he knows that in his mind he is ready for our relationship but what if his heart isnt and he needs some time to think. He says he doesnt want to hurt me in any way but I have no clue if what he's sayin is good or bad. I am really lost and upset and it makes me cry and I feel somewhat hurt. Am i overreacting. I need some advice.

I dated a guy who works with me. the chemistry is very strong but the problem is he cant commit to someone who has a kid.i happen to have four. he said that he would rather start a relationship with someone who is single and unexperienced which is understandable. i know that he is a player and we both agreed that we would see each other as friends and continue to sleep together. but everytime we see each other his always asking me about my ex husband ..if im married if were together and just starts arguing with me.i always tell him to stop can you please just stick with our agreement. i know his dating other women but whenever we get together his always lying i don't have a problem with him dating other women.i also find out from other people that he elopedt.iwas hurt because we had an agrement we would tell each other. but he didnt have the guts to tell me. after three days he tried to get in contact with me going through my nephew but i avoided him.,ofcourse for what.we didnt talked so i said my goodbyes and so he did.i moved to a different state after amonth i came to visit my old job.so iwent and said hi.we hung out and he started asking me question and arguing with me he even checked my facebook!.i asked him if he wants we can just see each other plutonically? but he didnt answer.so i asked him if he was married and he lied and said he never did. we spent the nigth together.he told me that nothing change about him. so i couldnt careless. i told him im in relationship and he ask me about it.we are still friends till now. what wrong with this dilemna? deep in my heart.i wanna be with him.i love him but i have to respect myself what to do? what to do?

Thanks.. I got to know that my bf is MY MAN.. He has all the 10 signs in him.. Feeling blissed to be deeply loved.. :-) :-) <3 <3
