Being in love is beautiful.
However, it can also be the hardest thing ever.
One thing that makes it difficult is if you aren’t sure what your significant other thinks about you.
It doesn’t matter if you believe he is the one for you; for the relationship to work, you need proof that he believes you are the one for him as well.
But how do you go about finding that out?
I wrote this article for that reason. In it, I will show you signs that your boyfriend believes you are the one for him and is not just wasting your time.
Signs Your Man Believes You Are the One for Him
If you are wondering why this is even a thing, remember that people unfortunately don’t only date for love. Many date for money, the feeling of being in a relationship, bedwarming, and other superficial reasons.
To ensure you are not included in these statistics, keep reading to learn how to tell if he sees a future with you.
1. He Tells You and Shows You
When a man realises what you mean to him, he will tell you.
But I’m sure you know you can’t just take people at their word, so he will show you as well.
You will see through his actions how much he prioritises and commits to the relationship and making sure you are happy.
2. He Introduces You as His Woman
One thing love is not is secretive. Yes, it may be private, but it won’t be secretive.
If your man is stuttering and thinking up diplomatic titles to address you as when he’s introducing you, chances are he doesn’t think you are the one.
Like I said earlier, a man who wants you will tell you he does.
So, he won’t mind you and everyone around, knowing you are the one for him.
In the first place, he won’t hide you from his people. Maybe he might not initially introduce you to his family, but his friends definitely.
He will introduce you to his closest friends and use the proper term for you.
The man for you will introduce you as his partner, woman, girlfriend and other endearing names that portray your position in his life.
If he mentions friend or any other vague term, he is either unsure what you would prefer or he doesn’t think you are the one for him.
Your best bet in that situation is to ask him later.
He’ll inform you if he hesitated because he is uncertain where you want him in your life. Stuttering, however, or any kind of vague answer is not good.
Let me give you a personal story to further convince you.
Once, my ex and I went to see a movie when we were still just talking and had yet to make it official. While there, we ran into his friend, and the friend asked him who I was.
Bear in mind that we were not yet official then, but we were talking seriously, so if he had said friend, I wouldn’t have minded because that would have been the truth.
I noticed he hesitated a bit, wondering what to say, but his friend bailed him out by asking, “Is she your woman?”
And he said yes, shocking me but definitely endearing me to him.
In case you are wondering why we broke up since I thought this was a good story to share, it wasn’t because I doubted what I meant to him but because of some value differences that we couldn’t get past.
In essence, if a man wants you and thinks you are the one for him, he will introduce you rightly.
3. He Shares His Life with You and Requires You to Share Yours
If a man wants you long-term, he will share every vital detail about his life.
Even if you are not yet official, he’ll talk to you. I bolded the word ‘talk’ to let you know I don’t just mean random discussions but deep conversations.
He’d offer details you may even feel are too much, depending on your relationship stage.
You won’t need to drag information out of him; he’ll just feel comfortable sharing it because he sees you as a part of his life.
He will also seek advice and ask your opinion on major decisions before making them.
On the other hand, he will also demand the same from you. This doesn’t mean he will ask aggressively. Instead, he will ask you questions to know who you are and to understand you.
Sometimes, you might even notice he is a little annoyed when he finds out information about you elsewhere or when it is too late.
That’s because he wants to be a part of your life as much as he considers you a part of his.
4. You Are Comfortable Around Each Other
This is more about how you feel around him, which is an offshoot of his feelings for you.
One, you will feel comfortable around him because you are secure in his love for you. This is more of a gut feeling that cannot be explained in words, but that feeling will make you feel at ease around him.
He will also be comfortable with you as he wants you to know the good, the bad and the ugly, hoping you’ll accept them.
It’s supposed to be long-term, after all, so he wouldn’t feel inclined to hide who he is from you.
5. He Knows and Accepts Your Flaws
If he accepts your flaws, he is there for the long run.
We are all not perfect, and if we treat each other based on our imperfections, nobody will be in a happy relationship.
That’s why the man for you must accept your flaws.
And thankfully, he does – that’s one of the signs he believes you are the one for him.
6. He Talks About Meeting Your People
A guy who believes you are the woman for him will also want to meet your people.
Again, he may understand not meeting family initially, but he also won’t want to be hidden.
He will ask about your friends and say he wants to meet them.
And yes, as time goes on, he will ask to meet your family.
7. He Respects You
Firstly, saying women don’t need respect is hogwash because respect is a quality of love. We respect those we love.
So, if you are with a man who doesn’t respect you, he doesn’t think you are the one for him.
8. He Commits to the Relationship
There is no bigger sign that a man doesn’t see you in his future than when he is not committed to the relationship.
If he considers you the girl for him, trust me when I say he will show up.
While you will need to initiate dates as well, he will take the initiative and make time to spend time with you.
Additionally, he will prioritise you and the relationship. This doesn’t mean he will no longer have a life outside of you.
No, we are not advocating codependency. But you will see that you come first when you need to.
The summary is that he will put in the effort to be with you and make the relationship work.
9. He Is Your Biggest Cheerleader
We’ve already established that the man who considers you the one will see you as a part of his life.
So your wins become personal to him.
Therefore, he will ensure you are the best you can be in your career, business or school.
He will not be jealous of you or want to put you down. Instead, he will uplift and support you so you can achieve your dreams and goals in life.
10. He Plans for the Future
If a guy believes you are the one for him, he will discuss your future together. You will see him make plans with you in mind.
For instance, he may discuss career plans and consider how they will affect you. If he wants to relocate, he will want to know how that will align with your plans.
He will talk about things he wants to do with you and where he wants to go with you.
And you will find that you are involved in the plans he makes.
The bottom line is that when a guy likes you and believes you are the one for him, you won’t doubt it.
