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: 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
Kathleen: I am Kathleen, I met a guy on line, he was a doctor, seemed very stable and nice but lived about an hour from me. We began meeting for dinner and this went on for about a month and a half and he was a perfect gentleman, no more than a peck on the mouth. He told me he would not get into another exclusive relationship unless he was intending to get married-he is 54 I am 47. I am divorced with older teenagers and he has never been married. During the whole courtship he kept saying that no one like me would ever have been attracted to him-that I was so beautiful and smart and nice, etc....he is a bit nerdy-think woody allen. When I went to visit him for our first weekend he immediately inititated sex. I was shocked and felt a little sorry for him because he seemed socially awkward. When we talked he again reiterated that he did not know if this would end up in marriage but he was looking for a long term, exclusive relationship. We ended up having sex and then it got weird. He was not much of a caller during the week and this did not change. He claimed to be a poor conversationalist and does not know how to text (ugh), he then got freaked out by the distance driving to my house and did not call for a week because he was processing his feelings-eventually he did call and we got together again. He was awkward but interested and then after a very intimate time together in which he told me again how beautiful I was -perfect ect. he told me he did not think he ever wanted to marry anyone. He also kept asking me if I was on birth control and if I was sure about the results of my HIV tests-this all had been established long before but he was neurotic about it. By the time I returned home I was confused and in tears. I had real feelings for this man as awkward as he is but ended up telling him that his declaration of not wanting to marriage had really taken all the possibility out of ours although I had not even known yet if I wanted that with him. I have been really down since this all happened. I thought he really cared for me-now I feel used.
