how do you tell if or when your guy is ready to commit to you for a lifetime?

You could actually tell that a guy is ready to commit to you for a lifetime whenever that guy has already plans for the both of you in the future. It is not all about the diamond ring that a guy gives you on your engagement day, it is not also just about what you both have in the present but what you will be having in the future. You could tell that a guy is ready to commit to you for a lifetime if guy plans already on what you both will have...it is not only "I" that he would be taking into consideration but it would become "WE". In all things "WE" counts.

when he goes out of his way just to be with you and just to please you...when he compliments you in a sincere manner about your personality...when he is constantly present in every important occassion or activity in your life...when he cares for you, your family and even your pet..lastly, when he treats you like a princess..\n\n(3 or more of these scenario should be enough for you to know that he's serious...lucky girl!)

If he shares you with the rest of the world, presents you to his family and friends as his girlfriend and seems serious about your relatinship if should mean hes seriously commited to you.

I'm in the middle. You do have to think about your future and your goals. But then he is your love. If you say that you know your gonna end up with each other, then don't worry, things will work out at the end for both of you. Plus, if  you say he loves you then he'll want you to be happy no matter what decision you choose.

Life is what you make of it & no one can predict how it will end. If you love him & want to commit the rest of your life to him, then Congratulations! Happily Ever After to you from me.

If he loves you and you love him then you will get married when the time is right.  However, you have to be patient, if his marriage ended badly (emotionally that is) then he might not be ready to commit just yet.  You should not take that as a sign that he does not love you or doesn't want to be with you.  Just go slow and keep talking to eachother and it will work out the way it was intended to.

hahaha.. hard question. even if a guy were to tell u thousands or millions times that he loves you in a day, you can't be sure..

there no set time. When you know it deep down you will do anything for the person than I think you can be commited.But all means take your time dont rush it.

It doesnt sound like he is fully committed to you yet. You should give it time and see where it leads. If it doesnt change look elsewhere.

If he's someone you're interested in, tell him you want to be friends first. Get to know him before making such a major commitment with him. Hec...tell him you want to try getting married before you pop out any kids. If he's really into commitment, (and you), he'll stick around.

There is no way to MAKE him propose to you. If he is not ready, then you should not make him ask you because it will end in heartbreak, no doubt about it. You can let him know you are ready by telling him, so he can think about it on his own terms. When, and if, he is ready, he will ask. Do NOT do anything that makes him feel guilty or make him think he has to or else (unless you honestly consider it worth the risk to lose him, then you can give him that ultimatum). \n\nRemember, this is not just about you. He is also apart of this. He needs to be comfortable and happy with asking you, and this is something he will so when and if he is ready. Have you two already talked about getting married? If so, then its a matter of time. Maybe he is saving up to buy the ring, or waiting for a special time. If you have not discussed it already, bring it up. Ask him if he wants to marry you someday (don't put a time limit on it just yet) or if he can picture a future with you. If he says yes, maybe over time discuss it more. If he is not sure, give him time. Let him know you love him and would love to spend your life with him, but you understand he needs his time. Never rush him, since he may do it to make you happy, but later call off the whole wedding because he is terrified and not really ready. What would you prefer, waiting to get engaged later and him being completely ready for the commitment or asking now and calling it off months later, ruining your whole relationship just because he felt rushed?

The only way to tell is time. Through talking and getting to know the other person is how you find out. If you share basic common values and goals, such as relatuonship goals, or future plans, then it probably is a good sign that he could be for you, otherwise if you don't share these, it could be rocky. Such as he never wants kids and you do. That is something that can never be overcome. Other than that, you just have to take the chance. That is what makes love fun and heartbreaking at the same time.

the right person will come along when the time is right for the both of you, don't rush it, it'll happen, when it does, you will know. Don't settle for less or you will still meet him and not be able to be together because of your prior choices

It's a good sign that you're wondering if you're ready for a b/f. If you feel that you want that it's all good. Just be careful not to go too far too fast. At that age it feels like it will last a Lifetime, but the reality is 3 mos. and another 3 yrs. of heartache. But that's how you get better at relationships down the line. Take it light, have fun, go out, do stuff; just don't spend all you time in the bedroom. Relationships are about a LOT more than that. Yet it's also hard to resist at that age. (I know how I was, and maybe that's the farthest thing from your mind. All I'm saying is don't give too much away too fast.)

Well, you didn't tell us how old you are so we have no idea if you're ready to settle down. Not that age would be an indicator that's set in stone but it usually gives context for your life experiences. Just go with the flow so that you see where you really stand on this issue.  If you're not ready to be seriously committed first, don't force it or you'll just end up hurting the both of you.

Lots of people make that commitment, but not many manage to keep it.\n\nI would say that if you only "really like him or maybe even more" then now is not the time to be thinking about making such a commitment anyway.\n\nWhen you find somebody that you simply can't be without and love more than you love your own life, then and only then should you consider such promises.\n\nPlease, don't give yourself away so cheaply.

if he talks to you alot and you will like die for him or he will die for you. Be sure you love each other a lot. Be sure you have been on many dates and have known eachother for long enough that you know he won't back out on you. If that works out. Then he probably is your love.
