1. He’s Started Calling You Baby
While some guys do drop these names into casual conversation, it’s rare. Most guys save pet names for their girlfriend or a girl that they’re at least very interested in. It may not be “baby” but some other pet name. Whatever the term of endearment is, it’s a sign. It says he’s getting serious about you.
2. He Spends a Lot of His Free Time with You
If a guy is into you then he wants to spend time with you. He may still go out and shoot some hoops with his friends but the majority of his time belongs to you. He loves hanging with you, no matter what you’re doing. You could be painting your nails and he’s happy to be nearby. This’s a sign that he wants something more than casual friendship or dating from you.
Frequently asked questions
3. You Text Daily
Do you text daily? If so then he may be moving toward something more serious with you. He wants a daily connection and that’s really sweet as long as it’s something you both want. If not then it’s a totally different situation. But if you want your relationship to move forward then all of these’re good signs.
4. He Knows Your Favorite Foods
If your guy knows your favorite foods and you know his then the two of you’re getting close. Yes, it could just be a close friendship. But if you’ve started dating and know this much about each other then your relationship is moving toward serious status. You may not have made that verbal commitment yet but it’s on the horizon. Enjoy each step of getting there!
5. He Wants You to Meet His Family
Yes, it’s possible that he just wants you to meet his family and it’s not getting serious between the two of you. But that’s not usually the case. If he’s taking you home to meet Mom then you’re in, girlfriend. My brother always said that not every girl is one you take home to meet the parents and I think that expresses how most men think. They only make the decision to introduce a girl to their family when they feel strong feelings for her. So take this as a sign things are turning serious.
6. He’s Flirted with the Subject of Commitment
Has your guy mentioned the possibility of a commitment? Maybe he made a joke about dating exclusively or a random comment. If so, then there’s meaning hidden there. He may be fishing to see how you react. He wants to know if you have an interest in a serious relationship.
7. Intuition Tells You It’s Headed That Way
Intuition can be a better indicator than any of the other signs we’ve talked about here. When things are getting serious you just feel it. You have this feeling that your relationship is deepening. Intuition can be a woman’s best friend. It’s a good guide in almost any situation you encounter in life. It’s important to note it’s not always right but it is the majority of the time.
These’re 7 signs that your relationship is going from casual into serious. Do you see any of them in your relationship? I’d love to hear from you!

Coline: There's this guy who's supposed to be my fwb, but we he texts me everyday, good morning, and stuff! We text everyday, calls me beautiful here and there? Is he really just a fwb, or heading towards something more ?
Alexa: There is this guy who says he's in love with me, and we text about every other day. I've met his family and friends. But I don't like him or anything so he's just my friend but he keeps pushing for a relationship. How can I get him to stop?
Patricia: We text daily..but can that be a positive sign? Or m reading too much into it
Oulichan: I don't usually trust or even believe in these lists. But this is exactly how things happened with my now bf... Happiest I've ever been.
Robin: I'm seeing this guy he does call me dear and we text a few times a week. We've talked abt just seeing each other but he hasn't committed to that. Not sure how much free time he has with raising 3 grown teenagers
Yvette: I never wish to be called Baby or Sweetheart again. Too many bad memories
Kacie: @robin make sure his actions line up with what he "says"
Adele: Guys I know (in Ireland, so maybe it's different in the states), wouldn't do these things unless they were serious about you - especially the family one
