You need to trust him, it's one of the most important aspects of a relationship. Alot of guys can go without sex if they are with someone who they really care about.

If I was dating someone for 7 years and they haven't popped the question yet,.I would start to think if I am waisting my time or not.  No offense but If this man doesn't want to get married and you do,..then maybe he's not the right one for you.  You need to just be strong and try to tell him that you want a life long partner, not a life long boyfriend.  You only live once so take the time you have and make the most of it!!  good luck

He sounds like a good guy from what you say in your question. If he is so caring and meets you all the time, surely he hasn't got time to cheat! Saying that, you can never know what a man will be like further into the relationship.

you have to have faith in him. you wont know and if you think he is then ask or move on...the stress of that question in a relationship can destroy it.

Nothing. He's already showing you your future with him and how he is while in a relationship with someone. Men/women are creatures of habit.

Well, there must be soemthing since he has been with you for so long.  Does he talk to you and like hanging with you without having sex.  Is he cheating on someone too or is he single?

I think I knew by our third date. If you are not sure and you are questioning it then hes not the one. don't do it just because you think he might be make sure he is.

WOW thats a big one. You say you have evidence right? well use what you got. But not in a way were you will put yourself in a bad spot but us them in question. Things you talk about. Ask if he knows a girl by the name so and so. If you really love this guy. Just keep rememinding him you love him. and that your so happy you guys are together and  that he has never cheated on you. In that point . . He will be nervice looking at the floor and looking for a answer out.

I would be really suspicious if I didn't know basic information like marital status, kids, where they grew up, where they work, where and how they live, how they spend their time and with whom....who are the meaningful people in their lives....and so on. \n\nAside from the basic stuff as listed above, you should also have figured out their (honest) personal views about relationships and how to treat people, their goals in life and what moral guidelines they follow. That should be enough to give you a sense of whether you're compatible enough to go beyond three months. \n\nThe first month, people are usually on their "best behavior", but second and third you start noticing if their actions match up to the way they're trying to present themselves...its an indication of how they'll treat you as well long term.\n\nBut trust your instincts. If you're asking this question, you may feel something is amiss. See how the person reacts if you were to ask about any of the above. If you can't communicate openly after three months, you may want to ask if its worth continuing to date this person.

Communication! I have been with the same guy for 7 years and I am just realizing since we moved in together that its one area  we need work in.  Its so important!  Also keep dating each other.  People always seem to get "comfy" in a relationship and it gets boring.  Keep things exciting.

Past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior.  If he's lied, cheated, and blown women off, he probably won't change.  It's obvious that he has issues with relationships and women and until he really looks at those issues and looks at himself, he's not going to change.\n\nIt's up to you - if you date him, you probably won't change his behavior no matter how much you try.  You'll spend nights wondering what he's doing when he's away from you, when he's finally going to blow you off, etc. and so on.  Think about it - is that the way you want to feel when you're in a relationship? \n\nGood luck, whatever you decide.

I suggest you ask him and explain why you are asking him , has he given you reason to think he is ? Or do you have trust issues ? Your best bet is to talk to him and be honest seeing as though that is what you would want from him right ?

Hi, I think the only way to really know is to look into your heart and go with what you are feeling.  If you cant trust your partner then maybe you shouldnt be with that person.  I know its hard, but until they give you a reason NOT to trust them, try to trust their word.  Its miserable when you dont trust your partner, so just believe they have been faithful until you find out differently.  You might find that they have been faithful all along.  Good luck to ya, Debi

At your age it will be over a year before you know for sure. Too many changes going on. Not that it can't happen, but if you are still together when you are 18, then he is probably the one.  \n\nBut some have dated until college, and then found out there was more and better.\n\nUnless you date other people, how will you really know for sure? It is the comparison to others sometimes that makes it easier to realize what you are missing/not missing.

The only way you can find out is time. Go out on some dates, and hold out on the physicalities. Dont be a prude, but if you dont feel sure of his motives, why give in to being physical. Even if you do want to be, you sound like you'll be upset if thats all he wants. So, that being said, spend some time with him. Go out on dates, then go home. A kiss or a few wont be leading him on, and you'll be able to tell soon enough if he is into you, or about getting into you.

I defintely think that you should be truthful with your new boyfriend, that way he will trust you more and you two can be open about your past sex life. If you've been w/ a lot of people and he has to and might be a good decision to get tested for a STD or STI now as there called. Theres nothing to be ashamed of about having sex w/ more than one person so don't lie about it. In the end things will come out your way and if they don't your new boyfriend wasn't worth it anywayz

It is difficult to answer without knowing a lot about your relationship. Are you married, engaged, or dating? Here are some indications if he/she cares:\n1. Does your special one take care of you when you are sick?\n2. Does that person remeber and celebrate your birthday, or anniversary?\n3. Does that person introduce you to his/her family or friends?\n4. Is that person loyal to you (not dating other people)?\n\nIf your answers are yes to all the questions then your special one cares about you.
