When you've finally found your special person, everything burns a little brighter. Even though this sounds clichΓ©, it totally fits the bill. It doesn't matter if you havenβt seen each other in a while β itβs almost like the minute that youβre together π« (and you get to see his smile π up close), all of that disappears π.
Itβs official. You're in it for the long haul. But does he feel the same?
There's nothing more nerve-wracking than figuring out whether or not your guy is just as serious about you. Even though you know that he adores you and loves β€οΈ spending time π with you, you aren't sure if he's actually ready to commit to something more long term. And that freaks. You. Out. Before you panic, here's how you can tell that your man is ready to take the next step.
Staying in and catching up on your favorite Netflix shows is just as romantic π as booking a reservation at that fancy French π«π· restaurant.
Because you guys have already talked about your previous relationships, you know that there's nothing to worry π about. His exes are where they belong β in the past.
He's not afraid to say things like "I can't wait to take you here for our anniversary next year" or "I can see us doing that when we're 30-40-50."
Your family is important to you, which means that they are important to him.
Who cares if your friends will forever judge you for it?
If push came to shove and you were suddenly offered a job in another state or country, he'd do whatever it takes to make your relationship π work.
Being in a serious relationship means being honest about how much money π΅ you both make and what you can contribute, finance wise.
Are you more career driven βο»ΏβπΌβ ο»Ώβο»Ώwhile he's always pictured himself having at least three kids πͺ? This is a conversation that you've had in extensive detail more than once - or have at least broached before.
He goes to all of your events, big or small, because he knows how much it means to you.
You're also comfortable trying new things together.
There's no π« need to decode his messages; you know where your relationship π stands.
Seeing how passionate you are about something motivates him to try just as hard.
It might as well be your "place".
If you can talk π¬ politics without it turning into a screaming match, he's a keeper.
He always makes you feel safe βοΈ.
(And you hope π you never have to π.)
