Does He Want A Relationship, Or Is He Just Using You?
1.
Does your guy involve you in his family life? One telltale sign that a guy is thinking long-term is that he introduces you to his family and makes the effort to get you involved with this part of his life.
If your guy is asking you to be a part of holiday celebrations with his family and possibly even join him at the family reunion, it is obvious that he so wants to be in a relationship with you.
However, if you ask him about his parents and he immediately closes up and tells you that you can't meet them just yet, for whatever reason, this is a sign that he wants to keep your relationship on a casual level.
2.
How does your guy do with sharing? A truly independent guy who doesn't want to be in a relationship will not be able to share everything.
Does he make room for your stuff at his home? Does he share clothes if you need to borrow something? You can tell when you are hanging out with someone if they have the attitude of "what's mine is yours" or if they see you as an outsider.
Try asking to borrow something of his that is truly a prized possession, like his car.
You will probably be able to tell almost immediately if he sees you as relationship material based on his response to that question.
3.
Does he talk theoretically about the future? When you are having conversations, sometimes things will come up about the future.
You can know how he is feeling based on how he refers to future events.
If you don't ever hear comments about the future that involve you, it might be a sign that your guy is subconsciously telling you that you are a short-term fixture in his life.
However, if he says something like, "Thanks for helping me with my Fourth of July party.
Next year, we'll have to have it at your house," it shows that he sees you as an integral part of his future.
After answering the above questions honestly and thoughtfully, you will know if your guy does want a relationship with you or not.
