10 Signs He Wants A Relationship
Here’s an age-old problem: It is hard to read men. But, that’s why this article is here for you to read today to help you decide if your man is ready for that next step. Determining the difference between a guy who is ready for a relationship and a guy who is just messing around can be really tough. But, when you break it down- it’s not that difficult at all! You just have to know what to be watching out for. Here are 10 signs that a guy wants a relationship:
Sign #1.) A guy who pays attention to you is a guy who may just be ready for the next step. Men aren’t truly attentive creatures unless with someone or something they really care very deeply for. So, if you’re boy has been displaying quite a bit of his attention towards you, you may have a winner! But, how can you tell? Well: He will look at you and make eye contact you when he is talking or when you’re talking. He will ask you questions and always reply when you two are conversing. He will always try to relate and be involved fully into your discussion. He will also ask you for his input when it comes to him talking to you.
Sign #2.) A guy who wants to get to know you on a personal level may be ready to have a real relationship with you. Men don’t usually waste their time getting to know people they don’t have future intentions with. If he is trying to get to know you he won’t just ask, “How’s your day been going?” or “What do you do for a living?” He will go deeper and ask you what you like or dislike about your job, what your hobbies are, favorite foods, music and he might ask about your family or past relationships. If this guy is intrigued, he’ll most likely try to get to know everything about you.
Sign #3.) If he is ready to be your boyfriend he won’t keep hanging around other girls. Let’s forget about his sister, his mom and maybe that best friend he’s had since preschool… No, I’m talking about all the other girls that he flirted with before or that try to flirt with him now. He will put an end to that or just ignore them. He will, all in all, stop paying attention to all girls that aren’t you!
Signs #4.) Does your favorite guy keep you in the loop about his future plans? Good! He may just be ready for commitment then! Guys only keep girls they considered a big part of their lives in their personal loops. If he does let you know about what his work schedule looks like, if he is taking any vacation or if he is going out of town or to an event, then he probably considers you more than just a friend.
Signs #5.) He should be a shoulder to cry on at all times, if he’s relationship ready. If a guy is always there for you and is a constant shoulder to lean on- you have found your future boyfriend. No matter what, he will always try to be there for you. He will give you his best advice when you ask for it, he will bring the tissues when you are sad and he’ll always try to cheer you up when you are feeling down. Keep in mind, though, that if he is ready for you to be his girlfriend, he will expect you to have the same shoulder to lean on for him!
Sign #6.) A man ready for a relationship with you will make sure you are involved with his family and close friends. He will do everything he can to get you guys to meet and know each other and he will also do his best to get you to like each other. You all liking each other is very important to him and if he is trying to make that happen then he is definitely ready for that next step. A guy only brings a girlfriend-type of girl home to his family.
Sign #7.) A relationship-ready fella will display his trust towards you. He will treasure your thoughts and opinions about his decisions and what you have to say altogether. He will respect your advice.
Signs #8.) Patience is something huge to look out for when trying to figure out if a guy is ready for a relationship or not. If your guy doesn’t spend his time rushing you into anything, whether it be skydiving, running away to mexico, trying sushi or …. well, you know! A man who is patient with you, waits for you to be ready and respects the pace you want to take with things, is a man ready to make you his girlfriend.
Signs #9.) You can tell a guy is ready for a relationship if he is trying to spend a lot of quality time with you. That means he is spending more than 1o minutes at a time with you. It means that he doesn’t just come around to sleep with you and that you see him in broad daylight. A guy ready to date won’t mind running errands with you or going out in public with you- he will actually enjoy spending any time with you!
Sign #10.) Any guy who looks at a girl as girlfriend-material, will keep in good contact with her. He will consistently message, call or text you everyday. He will reply to your texts or messages right away (unless he really is busy), but he won’t keep you waiting for long. He will make you a priority and make sure you stay in touch.

I have aboy who is locked and loaded! I am not allowed to date until Sophmore year, and I told him that. He said he would wait for me! He is really nice, and is always telling me how much he loves me. We hang out a lot, go on walks and hold hands. Sometimes I forget why I like him, but then I remind myself. The things is, I’m the one who usually texts good morning, and not him. For me, he is the first thing I think about it the morning, and I don’t think he feels that. Any suggestions and help?

If you want to share your feelings with him, then speak with him directly and honestly about those feelings. He should respect your desires for more communication. However, you can not force someone to have feelings in the mornings that they normally do not have. Continue to spend time with him and share your hobbies and interests. If you want to attempt to date sooner, then have your parents meet his and see if you can begin dating as soon as possible. It is important for your parents to get to know him as soon as you want to develop a relationship with him.

I’ve been seeing this guy for 2.5 mos now, we talk everyday, and we’ve been on about 7 dates so far. He said that he isn’t seeing anyone else and doesn’t want to so we agreed to be exclusive to see if there is a possibility for something serious between us. He’s very affectionate and wants to hold hands all the time. We also spent two weekends together. The only issue is that I am the one who initiates all the contact. When I text him, he always responds within a few minutes and he always says yes to dates and spending time together but he never asks to take me out on dates himself. And recently, I told him about a bad day I was having with my friends and he gave me a short and dull response, didn’t seem to care at all. So I decided to not contact him to see what would happen, it’s been only 3 days but I haven’t heard from him. Besides his low level of effort, he’s really great to be around and we always have a good time together but a part of me feels bad that he doesn’t put in any effort. It makes me feel like maybe he doesn’t really plan on being serious with me at all. I’m thinking about maybe going on other dates with other men or maybe going out with my girlfriends where I can flirt with other men. What do you think?

If you are unsatisfied with your relationship and your first desire is to begin flirting or going on dates with other men, then you should immediately tell your partner that you want to break up. Do not allow your insecurities to harm someone that you claim to care about. And do not lie about being exclusive if you are planning on betraying that trust. Hopefully you will take this relationship as a lesson about respect in your relationship and be mindful in the future.

Hi, will you please give me an answer or close to it , so I met this guy and he said he really likes me I was surprised he said that on the fact that we have 2 weeks of knowing each other , then today he asked me to be his girlfriend, he does text me everyday , he tels me about his life etc , idk is it to fast to Jump in a relationship, I do like him thought but not as much as he likes me ,well that’s what he said . I’m just concerned when I met him I told him I don’t want to rush into sex . I think that maybe he asked me to be his girlfriend just to have sex with me ? I am exaggerating or is that even possible?

It is possible that he wants to establish a relationship with you so he can become physically close to you. And it is possible that he is interested in only becoming emotionally close to you. Don’t allow your doubts to sabotage your relationship before it begins. If you want to develop a relationship with him, then do so. If you are not ready at this time, then be clear and honest about your reasons when you speak with him again.

Hello I really need some advice . So I like this guy at my school he is pretty shy and quiet . we have known each other for about 3+ months and we have hit it off ! he give me lots of hugs, take care of me ,texts me EVERYDAY , and treats me well . I looked up online and those where some signs that he liked me so I continued to observe him and he continued to drop hints that he likes me back so I confessed to him , but then he slowly retreated he still hugs me and talks to me but I feel like it’s not the same …. I don’t know what to do someone please help .

It sounds like he may not have been interested after all. His behavior seems rather confusing. For someone so shy, it seems weird to give you hugs and text you all of the time if he is not interested. At the same time, his recent behavior shows that he is not actually interested in a relationship. If you want to keep him as a friend, be patient and return to just being a friend. You may want more out of the relationship, but it does not look like he wants anything more than friendship at this point. With any luck, that will change in the future, but there is nothing that you can do to make him change his mind now.

I (15) have been texting this guy(17) for over a month now (we haven’t actually met) and last week things got serious we started to say that we liked each other and all the things we would do together when we finally met. But than he rang me saying that we couldn’t be together any more as I was too young for him, the next morning after a night full of crying I sent him a message saying that he made me happy and all that sought of stuff and that two years is not a big age gap. We both still wanted to be together so we just settled for friends. But now a week later things have started up again, he keeps saying that he can’t wait to cuddle me and everything like that. I still like him but I just don’t want to be heart broken again should I continue with it him or just shut him out all together.

It is likely that he was concerned about your age difference. It is important to note that either of your parents may have an issue with your relationship going forward. It would be most wise of you to speak with your parents about continuing a relationship with someone who may be an adult in a short amount of time. That said, age is no reason for you to not reach out for love. Continue speaking with him, but be mindful and understand the legal and social pressures that he is under at this time. He may end your relationship in the future out of a desire to not face criminal charges.

PLease help me with some advice.
Me and my guy friend are very close and we’ve known each other for a few years now. But the last few months things have started happening which makes me think that things may be progressing from friendship to maybe a real relationship despite him not having said anything along the lines of being axclusive or that he loves me etc. They are as follows: He touches me more often, hugs every time we see each other, he listens attentively and engages in the conversation by asking questions or responding, makes and keeps eye contact, stared at me once or so whilst slightly tilting his head to the side, used the phrase “my dear” and “my girl” over the phone, recently send me text starting with “morning beautiful”, apologizes and explains for not texting me when he said he would or when he’s a bit late, gave me his brother’s number for when i can’t get hold of him, people (mostly other ladies) talk of him as my boyfriend or asks whether we are an item etc and lastly he asked me how long I’ll be out of town and why I’ve got to go out of town. He even said that we can still keep regular contact via text anc calls whilst I’m out of town.
Furthermore he doesn’t want to do things with me where he’ll feel that he’s humiliating me or which can ruin a good friendship (that was what he actually told me). For me that’s very sensitive and considerate which makes me appreciate and value him and our connection so much more.
So … Maybe I’m having this all wrong and is my wishful thinking of us spending our lives together (and him perhaps having the same idea) just clouding my better judgment. I seriously don’t know anymore but all I know is that I like him very much and is he everything I’ve always wanted in a man.

It is clear that he has an interest in you. There are many actions that you have described which are indications of his feelings for you. If you want to develop a relationship with him, then speak with him directly and honestly about your feelings. Remain positive and bold as you move forward and seek to establish your relationship, if you so desire.

It is clear that he is especially interested in you. Because of his physical and emotional actions, you can be certain that he wants to develop a relationship with you. If you want to develop a relationship with him, then speak with him directly and honestly about your feelings. If he shares your feelings, which it seems likely that he will, then you know that you can develop your relationship. Your judgment has been clear and you should look forward to the development of your relationship.

Just to follow up … Within the last week and a half I had my guy friend asking me whether I’ll ever return to my hometown and even telling me that I may just find the man of my dreams whilst being away. That made me wonder what he really meant by that. Then a few days later I had one lady telling me that me and my guy friend look like brother & sister, even told me that oftentimes married couples start to look alike after a while (which I don’t know how true that is if at all). I also had my dad asking me out of the blue over the phone what if my guy friend wants to propose whilst also mentioning that if he wants to do so he’s only got a month to do it. Just the next day had another guy mentioning something about me and my guy friend getting married but only laughed and replied he doesn’t know when I asked for more info. My guy friend however just plays it cool and still continue with the “we’re just close friends” story and even referred to us being the old “friends with benefits” situation, but must say I don’t buy that as I know very well we’re not doing the friends with benefits thing. Instead I’m having the idea that something’s up because it’s too much of a coincidence that different people who doesn’t know one another would speak independently within a few days’ time of either proposing or marriage to me. So now I guess its wait and see …

I have met this amazing guy for about 2 months now. We have a great chemistry, we share similar values and really make each other happy. We communicate so much, laugh, share ideas and make sure we have some good time. But he says he didn’t plan on meeting someone he will like so much this soon because he has been a mess in past relationships and is currently not doing so well financially so he is trying to mend himself before starting any new relationship. He currently lives with his parents and wants to move out by the end of the year then he can be in a relationship again (he has a job). The problem is he wants me to wait for him. I’m i lowering my self esteem if i decide to wait? He checks on me incessantly and spends lots of time with me when he gets the chance. The kind of affection he shows me and attention he gives me is so unique and sweet. I told him earlier i can’t promise to wait for him but i hope when he is ready i would still be available. He hasn’t been intimate with me ever because he says i’m too special he doesn’t want to take advantage of me. Please advice me, i honestly don’t know how to deal with my emotions. I have met his sister already and whenever we meet or are on the phone his sister extends her regards to me. I love him…

It is clear that the two of you have a strong relationship at this time. He wants to become more financially secure before he develops a relationship, and that is a reasonable statement. It is understandable that he would want you to wait for him, but it is also important that you have the freedom to do what you need to do. There is no reason for you to not enter in a relationship with someone else because of someone else who is unwilling to enter a relationship with you. Do as you need, but realize that it is possible that he will feel dejected if you develop a relationship with someone else. Take this time to look inward and determine what you want for your future.

Thanks so much for your response. No new developments at the moment, we are still as close as we have always been but now he says he understands if i don’t want to wait for him because it wouldn’t be fair on his part though he wished i would. I have decided to just continue what we have and if someone i like comes along and he is still not ready then i will move on. But also, I’m afraid that the more time we spend together the difficult it will be for me to open myself to new opportunities. It just makes me go crazy sometimes, should i cut him off??
web admin
August 8, 2016 at 8:46 pm
If you are thinking about cutting off your relationship with him, then it is the right time to do so. Take this time to yourself, and be pleased with your thoughtful consideration of your goals. If he makes actions toward you that are respectful and mindful of your needs, then you should adjust your ideas if you so desire.

I have a female friend, a colleague and co-worker who I’m very close with for like a year now. I believe she likes me and we sometimes chat and talk for hours during leisure. Recently i observed that we are getting closer and I think am falling in for her. The issue is i was in a long distance relationship with a girl a met back in school and things have not really working well because of distance and her background. I love her but discovered that my friend is making my heart melt with her charms and uniqueness which I have never felt for any woman before and she seems to want us to hang out. Please I’m confused.

Do not take any action toward your co-worker at this time. It is never right to cheat. If you do not want to continue your relationship with your current girlfriend, then speak with her directly about the reason why you do not want to be with her anymore. However, do not break up with her because you are interested in this other person. Only end your current relationship if you are no longer interested in continuing it or see no future in it. If you do determine to break up with your current girlfriend, then speak with this new person about a relationship.

Thank you for the article. I have a colleague who has been showing a lot of interest in me lately and all my other colleagues have noticed, since he has polished his look. He asked me to come for dinner at his house a week ago with another colleague but guess what, he didn’t ask my other colleague so I ended up going alone…and he wants me to come again next week! Furthermore, at work sometimes he would squeeze my shoulder, or touch the small of my back. He took my number last week and sends me kisses and calls me gorgeous and gives a lot of compliments. He was in South Africa last week and messaged me saying he missed me and is looking forward to seeing me upcoming Monday. What is all this indicating?
web admin
July 23, 2016 at 4:50 pm
It is clear that he is showing his interest in you in a wide variety of ways. If he invited you over to his house, then there is nothing more that you need to know that he has an interest in you. He calls you from out of country, touches you, and spends time with you, so it is clear what his ideas are. If you want to develop a relationship with him, then do so. Speak with him honestly and directly about your feelings and go from there. Remain mindful and positive as you move into the future.

Okay I have this male friend whom I’ve known for the last six years about. We get along very well, make eye contact when we’re conversing, he has stared at me twice with only a “just thinking”-type response, he does me favours like picking me up or dropping me off when I need him to, he helps me carry my stuff when I need help, sometimes even ask if he can carry my stuff without me having to ask for his help, we touch every now and then, he would put his hand on my back gently rubbing it, we hug when saying goodbye, even recently hugged in front of other people that we both know. All this makes me think that something’s up.
However a few days back an eldery lady that knows both me and my friend made me very suspicious when she asked me how things are going beteen me and my friend, whether things are serious between us and to top it all whether I would settle down with him. I told her that I would settle down with him if he decides that’s what he want, but that I’m not going to initiate that as I wasn’t brought up that way. My friend was not present during this conversation.
Now I am left to wonder whether the two of them discuss things behind my back whilst I’m not present as they stay close to each other and I’m on the other side of town. I can also just mention that this was not the first time she spoke to me about him along the lines of what’s mentioned above except for the settling down. Some clarity would be appreciated!

Hi, I have been working as a trainee artisan at an engineering company for four months now. After having passed my assesments this white guy (qualified artisan) welcomed me to their company with a handshake as the first female apprentice. I spent the first two months in a different section but he would come around or walk passed us several times a day and would gaze at me so much that he would even stumble upon something and we would laugh it off, when I interact with other guys he would suddenly be offish, now I am working in the same section as his but seperate sub section we see each other most of the day and is always ready to help me out when I need it, even offers to. there are rough days at work that result in me being the not so friendly person he knows and he would want to know what’s wrong and I would tell him, then he gives me advise and tells me I can talk to him anytime. this morning I had my own personal issues and he asked why I was not ok, I told him it’s nothing work related so it will blow over with time as it is personal, he was like “I am here for you”. now it’s confusinge because that is on a personal level, there is also a friend of mine who got hired a few weeks after me, also female, he never behaves the same around her and the other ladies in the office as he does to me. could he be having the hots for me? he asked me about my birthday three weeks ago and I told him, to my surprise he still remembers the exact date of my birthday which is on the 23rd July, he pays attention to my make up,especially my eyes as they look different when I have my eyeliner on, pays attention to my hair and seems to be loving the idea of working around me when working extra hours

If you have noticed that someone is giving you attention that they are not giving other people, then it is clear that they have taken an interest in you. It is possible that he finds himself better connected to you or that he is attracted to you. Be careful not to mix your professional career with your personal life too quickly, but there is no reason for you to not seek to establish a relationship with him. If you want to speak with him directly about your feelings, then be sure to do so. If he reciprocates your desires, then you know that you can nurture your relationship with him. Remain positive as you move forward.

This is normal for many people. Often times, when someone shows signs of interest and they are nor reciprocated, the person will show opposite signs. If you want to develop a relationship with someone, then it is best to speak with them directly and honestly about your feelings. When people play coy and act shy, it is often the cause for misunderstandings and confusion.

I’ve recently been talking to this guy who does everything on that list, but he’s also a musician, so recently he just randomly stopped talking to me and responding to me like he has been because he says that he has to produce this video of him playing. It’s been three days though, he still tells me that he wants me and that he has feelings for me but it’s hard to deal with him at first calling me at 5 am just because I had bad dreams to not talking to me hardly at all..Musicians are the most confusing species.

June 30, 2016 at 2:29 pm
If he is choosing to focus on his music career, then it would be best to allow him to do so. If he decides to put you before his music, and you feel like you want to cultivate a relationship with him, then you should decide to do so. From there on out, it would be wise to support him in developing his musical career. Look inward for now, and determine where your best interests lie. Be positive, and don’t judge all musicians by this one.

There is this guy at work whom I got pretty close with once we found out that we have the same interests and such. Before this, we talked several times at work too and it was fun. He also paid attention to me while holding a conversation. Then, after we became closer and started texting more, I kind of got attached to him. Now, all I think about is him, though I’m not sure if I really like him that way or not. I was curious about his thoughts on a few things so I asked him for example about confusing infatuation with love etc. I also kinda told him that there’s someone I like (though it his him). And I said that even if I am sure that it is not infatuation, I wouldn’t tell the other. So, he asked if I wasn’t ready for a relationship. I told him that I am, but not too sure since I’ll go to Bali for 6 months for my internship. So I’m not sure if it’s okay to get into a LDR (not to mention that it’d be my very first relationship since I haven’t dated before). So.. my question is, do you think there is a chance that he likes me? Because.. this could be just the way he is, just being nice. I don’t want to mistake his kindness for actually liking me.
web admin
June 4, 2016 at 12:09 pm
It sounds like he does like you. Asking about a relationship, paying attention to you and trying to talk to you all the time are signs that he is probably interested. Considering your upcoming internship, it could be hard for you to have a relationship. You guys could always try going on a few dates beforehand and just staying in connection while you are gone. After you get back, you could try exploring the relationship a bit more. Best of luck, Mira!

Thank you for your reply! There are a few updates, haha. I told another co-worker (who’s both our friend) that I liked the guy that I mentioned in my previous comment. He said that he already has a gf or future gf. So with that… I kind of decided to reduce the contact with him, before I get carried away, because I almost did. I think it’s just not meant to be. Even if he is being so nice with me. However, I’m glad that I didn’t confess or anything, because that would have been too hard knowing that I would get rejected. Let’s say, this is another one-sided (almost) crush. (:

Oh, P.S. At first, we talked a lot, we still do kind of. But lately, it’s me who takes the initiative to start a conversation. If the other side was interested, then it would go both ways, right? Okay, this is so confusing, haha. It is difficult after all. Nonetheless, thank you for your reply.

Mira, sometimes people are shy to begin conversations. You should be clear with him about your desires for him to start conversations. That said, some people are more receptive than active and you should respect that. The only way to overcome these concerns to to be open and honest with your partner. Good luck!

I know a guy who keeps telling me that we are friends and there is nothing between us .. but he doesn’t act or talk like a one ( he does about 7 of these things ).. I’m relly confused and can’t determine what he really wants or what should I do

If he continuously says that you are just friends, he probably means it. While he could just be saying that so he does not ruin the friendship, it is more likely that he just wants to be friends. If you are still confused and okay with the possibility of a rejection, you could just ask him if he wants to date you. Good luck, Sarah!

I have been friends with my best male friend since last year and over the months, we have become closer. He was married twice and the last marriage was very hard for him to get over. He had loved this lady for many years and was finally able to marry her, but, was only together for six months and separated for the next two years. Finally divorced. He tells me that he is not ready for a relationship. He had first said that he was interested in an older woman, but, lately tells me that I am “too old for him” (13 years age difference). But, after reading the above “10 Signs He Wants a Relationship”, I am believing that he does really want a relationship with me, just afraid of being hurt again by another woman. Just recently I had to move and he suggested that I move in with him as roommates and share expenses. So far, this is working out very well. We have been intimate and still are at times, but, he tells everyone that I am “just a friend”. It is hard for him to admit his feelings!

While it is normal to develop feelings for someone that you are sleeping with, it does not mean that he will want a relationship anytime soon. He had a long, difficult break up with his last wife, and he has been married two times. This will most likely make him extremely hesitant to start a relationship with anyone else. While the age difference only matters in the minds of the couple, it unfortunately seems that it does matter to him. He may get over this bias later on, but it could take months or years for him to be in a position to ignore the age difference and start a committed relationship. As long as you are okay with the current “friends with benefits” situation, continue to see him. Just know that he may not be ready for anything more for years, if ever. Good luck, Phyllis!

If he is in a relationship, then you should not do anything. Find out for sure if he is single or not. If he is taken, you do not want to ruin his relationship by making a move. Other than the ethics involved, you don’t want to deal with the drama of breaking up his relationship or being the other woman. If he does half of the things on this list, it sounds like he could be interested in having a relationship with you. You would have to wait for his relationship to end naturally before you make a move and ask him out. It may feel awful to wait, but it will be worth it. Good luck!

Agreed! I hope that everything turns out well for you. If he does most of the signs on this list, then there is a very high chance that he is interested. Good luck!
