15 Signs He Wants Something Serious With You and Is Ready to Commit

In a perfect world, when who you're dating wants to be with you, they tell you. If he doesn't, knowing these signs he wants something serious will help.

You're not interested in wasting your time dating someone who doesn't see a future with you. I completely understand. And if you're looking for the signs he wants something serious with you, you're well on your way to figuring out what's going on.

There's no point dating someone if you don't really see it going anywhere. If you really like him, ask him where he sees the relationship going, that is if he hasn't already told you.

I know it's a scary conversation to have. Before you dive right in, take a look and watch out for some of these key signs first. Hopefully, it eases your worries or make things clearer for you.

How to read the signs he wants something serious with you

The only reason we date is to find a partner. Yes, it's fun and exciting to meet new people, but deep down, we're not doing this just to waste time. Dating is all about finding the right person to take the next step forward with. I know, sounds so serious, right? Sorry to be a mood killer.

Now, you probably have heard people say that if someone wants to be in a serious relationship, they'd just tell you. That's not always the case. How many times do we actually say what's on our mind? Not too often. Instead, we usually just bury our feelings and avoid talking about important subjects. Do you see the signs he wants something serious or is it a dead-end relationship?

#1 He tells you. Now, people say a lot of crap just to keep other people hanging around them. If he's sat you down and had a genuine conversation with you about the future, then he's probably not joking.

The best way to tell if he wants something serious is if he is willing to let you know. It takes a mature person to talk about the future, and it sounds like he has his head on straight.

#2 He's had long term relationships before. This guy doesn't usually jump from woman to woman. That's a good sign he's serious about his relationships. If he's had long term relationships before, it shows a history of commitment. This behavior is what you want to see in a guy you're serious about. His past behavior is a good indicator of his future behavior.

#3 He's all about #relationshipgoals. If he drops hints about the future, specifically about marriage and kids, then he definitely has his eyes on you as someone he could settle down with. If he isn't interested in anything serious, there's no way he would bring up any long term relationship goals.

#4 He's all about the conversation. If you're casually dating a guy, you probably only see him when you have sex which is understandable. If he's serious about you, he focuses on spending quality time with you. He wants to talk and really get to know you on a deeper level. Whether he calls you and chats on the phone or asks you out for coffee, these are strong signs he wants more.

#5 He wants to know your dating history. Most guys that are causally dating don't care about the dating history of the person they're seeing. Why would they care? It doesn't affect them. But if he's serious about you, he wants to know if you're able to commit and if you're interested. Are you someone who wants to be in a committed relationship? If so, make it clear to him.

#6 He plans meaningful dates. He's not asking you over to his house for “Netflix and chill.” When he plans a date, he makes sure you're going to enjoy yourself to the fullest. He wants the date to be interesting and give you an opportunity to relax and open up. This is one of those signs he wants something serious with you.

#7 He's already committing to you. Though he hasn't said it officially, he's already deleted all his dating apps from his phone and hinted at being exclusive with you. These are small steps but in a good direction. If you notice these small acts, it's time to talk with him about the future.

#8 You meet his family and friends. This is a huge step for anyone to take when they're serious about someone. You just don't introduce anyone to your family and friends. No, no, no. You make sure the person is worthy of meeting your closest social group. If he wasn't serious, you'd never meet his close circle.

#9 He opens up. Though men are as emotional as women, they're not as expressive when it comes to their feelings. If it was just a fling, he's not going to tell you shit. The conversations will be extremely shallow. However, if he's serious about you, he knows he must open up if he wants the relationship to grow into something more.

#10 He communicates. When it comes to communication, he makes sure you are on the same page. If there is miscommunication, he spends the time to iron out the issues and prevent them from happening again. How you argue and resolve conflict is a focus for him because he sees a future with you.

#11 He changes plans for you. He may have had plans with his buddies, but once he found out you're free, he canceled them to see you. If he's turning down other opportunities for a chance to spend time with you, it shows he wants to commit.

#12 He wants to create traditions. It's one thing to go on dates and have fun, but if he wants a future with you, he'll focus on creating traditions. Maybe you always go camping on the first weekend of summer or get ice cream every Sunday. These are small things but he creates traditions which hold you together.

#13 You're on his social media. We all know how important social media has become. If he's putting photos and statuses of you on his social media, he's letting everyone know that he's not interested in anyone else but you. He wants people to know he's serious about you.

#14 He doesn't hesitate to spend money on you. I'm not saying he needs to spend money on you in order to show he's serious. Some men love showing off or are brought up to pay for their partners. If he treats you to small gifts and tokens, he's showing his appreciation and love you for. It may sound a bit shallow, but it's true.

#15 He brings you into his world. Everyone has their own special spots no one knows about. Usually we don't show other people these spots unless the person is special. If he's taking you to his most private places, he wants to bring you into his world.

You now know the signs he wants something serious with you. So, does your man want to take your relationship to the next step? What do you think?
