Step 1
His friends are married
If his friends are married, he’s more likely to marry too. If all of his friends are single and in party mode, well… birds of a feather, do what? Flock together.
He’s financially secure
If he has his own housing or house, progressively, he thinks the next step is to fill it with a lil woman.
He pursues you
The guy who is commitment-ready is going to initiate doing things with you. If you’re calling or emailing him and he takes days to get back to you or if you have to text him to find out where he is you’re not only chasing him, he’s probably not marriage-material.
He’s willing to wait
If as a guy gets to know you, he’s willing and wants to wait before getting intimate, he is more likely to commit or has feelings of wanting a committed relationship.
He watches DVDs with you when you’re sick
When a man takes out time to take care of you while you’re sick, he is not in ‘it’ just for the fun and sex. His wanting to be with you in bad times, is a good sign he’s in it for the long haul.
He gets to know your friends and family
The long-term candidate wants to truly get to know you and you him. He will find ways for him to interact with your family and friends and vice versa. Bottom line is he will want to know how you fit in with his friends and family and he fits in with yours.
The “we” instead of “me” syndrome
Baby
boy switches from “me” to “we” in conversation, even more with added actions. That’s a sign he’s committing to you at a deeper level. If your guy is all, “I”, “me”, and “my” instead of “we” and “us” in conversations and dealings after you’ve been dating a while, his mindset is still in single guy mode.
He’s not afraid of compromise
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. This is a great sign that he is emotionally available for a mature adult relationship and accepts you as a partner.
He doesn’t need excuses
Commitment-phobics have excuses about why they can’t be with you on Saturday night, didn’t call and “aren’t ready for a relationship… right now.” If he’s commitment-ready, he doesn’t need excuses and needs you.
He likes being in a long-term relationship
Some men like being in a monogamous relationship and some don’t. Accept it or don’t! If he complains all the time about needing space, treats you like a giant burden instead of a gift, and keeps talking about taking things slow, he’s telling you he’s not ready for a commitment.
Now he could be on his ‘not wanting to be monogamous way out’. For instance, if he’s done with the party scene, enjoys your “couple time” together, spending more and more time with you than dating others and has a strong sense of family; you’ve found a commitment-ready guy. Now if that’s the case, work that magic!
