8 Signs He’s Serious About You And He’s Playing For Keeping You In His Life
1. He pays attention to little details.
Besides knowing your favorite hobbies and where you’d take your dream vacation, a guy who’s in it for the long haul will also notice the way you keep all your food separated on your plate or the way you can’t sleep unless your hair is in a ponytail. This man knows that you’re going to be in his life for a long time if he has any say in it, so he wants to memorize every detail about you that he can.
2. He introduces you to his friends and family.
If your man’s proudly presented you to the other people he cares about most, it’s because he wants to integrate you into his life. Perhaps just as importantly, he’s also making the statement that you’re going to be around for a while, so you’re someone that these people should know. A man who only sees you as a temporary deal isn’t going to bother with showing you off to his bros when he knows it’s only a matter of time before you’re replaced by someone else.
3. He doesn’t shy away from major relationship investments.
Things like moving in together, adopting a pet, and sharing a Netflix password aren’t for casual relationships. A guy who even considers these things as something that could happen down the road is also considering forever as something that could happen between you two.
4. He goes out of his way for you.
He doesn’t have to write you an album of cheesy love songs to prove how much he wants to stay in your life. A lot of times, he shows that he’s serious about you by DVRing your favorite show without you even having to ask him or picking up your favorite candy bar when he runs to the store for milk. He might find other, more dramatic ways to show that he’s willing to go the extra mile for you, but those little instances are good indicators that he’s always thinking about you.
5. He tries to resolve arguments instead of escalating them.
He won’t call you names or threaten to break up with you or storm out of the house. Instead, he’ll take some time to calm down and work with you rather than against you to figure out a solution. He wants to be with you forever, so he’s not going to deliberately do anything that could inspire a spur-of-the-moment breakup.
6. He rebuffs others’ attempts to hit on him.
All of us like to flirt and be flirted with occasionally, but a man who only has eyes for you won’t entertain the thought of crossing the line with someone else. He might be flattered by the attention, but as soon as she asks for his number, he’s going to tell her that someone (you!) already has his heart.
7. He Makes Future Plans
If you see that he makes plans for the future with you, that’s a really good sign. And, of course, the further out the plans, the better. What that means is that he expects you and him to still be in a relationship and that there is a future for both of you together.
Pay attention to the type of plans he makes. Is the trend getting more and more involved? Do the plans involve more time together than before? Is he spending more money with every new plan that he makes with you? These are all other good signs.
8. He Makes You a Priority
If your guy cancels things that he has planned in order to be with you, it means that you are a priority to him.
Of course, he may occasionally have an emergency that takes priority, such as engine problems with his car he must fix on the weekend before going to work on Monday. In that case, be understanding and supportive, and he’ll really appreciate it.
If your guy is serious about the relationship, usually, he will go out of his way to make you a priority. He will plan things with you for the weekend and during the week too. The bottom line is, if he makes you a priority in his life, then you can be rest assured that he’s pretty serious.
