Is He Serious About You?

A guy who is not serious will not put so much effort.

Sometimes, in our zeal to find companionship, we forget the simple things, and we convince ourselves that, even though we aren't getting much of someone's time, they are into us. 

We deserve a relationship with mutual effort that is not just being used as a means to an end. It's simply about enjoying each others company.

Guys will do about anything to get lucky.The first month of dating, even the coolest guy can only play it so cool. If he's serious, he'll drop hints.

How can you tell he’s serious about you?

He listens to you and respects your opinion.

The man who thinks of you as more than a “date” will involve you in his decisions about everything from which shoes you like best when he’s shopping to how he should handle a crisis at work. The guy who is serious about you is serious about your thoughts and opinions. It goes without saying (though we’ll say it anyway) that the above ideas are posted on a two-way street: these same six signs are how HE will know you’re serious as well.

He safeguards his time with you.

Everyone is busy these days, with endless deadlines and demands. But someone who is excited about a relationship with you will not let those things rob him of your time together. He’ll go into work early rather than risk being stuck in the office that night when you’ve got a date. He’ll trim the fat from his routine. He’ll turn down competing offers—anything to be with you when he said he would.

He introduces you to family and friends.

Welcoming someone into your private life is a huge deal. If someone wants to introduce you to their family that shows how important you are to them. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean you are about to start a family of your own or rings are getting put on fingers; it just means your boyfriend is ready to include you in more of his life. When a man takes you to meet the important people in his life, it means one of the following: (a) he thinks you are wonderful and worth showing off—and is sure others will agree; or (b) he thinks you are wonderful and worth showing off—and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. Either way it’s a good sign that, to him, you are much more than a casual acquaintance.

 He’s transparent.

Nothing is more toxic to new relationships than the nagging feeling there is more to your partner than meets the eye. Someone who is serious about you is never evasive or vague. He gives you straight answers about his work, his friends, his past relationships, and how he spends his spare time.

Unfortunately, some guys can pull off all of the above without being serious.

What signals indicate to you that a guy is serious? Do you have experience with non-serious guys who faked being serious for a while? Did they use the tactics above? Do you agree with my signals?
