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, 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.
2. 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.
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! Of course, 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.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
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. 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.
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. Respecting for your partner’s decisions are 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!
11. 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!
12. 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.
13. 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!

Anonymous: I have a problem and i really need some advice... When we started dating we both agreed to take things slow. He was the first one to tell me he loved me and the first to bring up marriage in the future.. and of course after hearing all of this i fell in love with him, i found a man who truly wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. On my birthday on march-12 he told me he was ready for us to take the next step and move in together! we have been together for a year now... well last week he told me that we arnt moving in together and he is moving in with his parents so now i will be living alone AGAIN!!! he said he told me all of that crap because it made me happy. Even though he was the one who told me everything first.. he believed that by telling me this and making me happy that in time he would feel the same when the time came to move it aaannnddddd now come to find out its all a lie. i dont know what to do!! ive been playing hard to get, not bending over backwards for him anymore. but im heartbroken and i try my best to not let him see how hurt i am... am i doing the right thing ladies?? please give me your insight
Tiff: 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.
