13 Signs He Doesn't Take Your Relationship As Seriously As You Do
The relationship is not the same to him.
I have long had the issue of believing that my relationships were a lot more serious than they actually were. It was a problem I had with “friends,” boyfriends, acquaintances, and more. Part of this issue, if I’m being honest, was because of the fact that I never actually had real friends growing up and didn’t know what real relationships, or even friendships, were like.
This led to me putting a lot more weight and effort into relationships than others did. I also expected way more commitment from others, just because I thought they actually liked me that much. Over the years, I realized that a lot of the people I expected to walk me down the aisle really weren’t interested in anything more than a placeholder girl. It’s sad, but it’s true.

The reason why is that they don’t want parents asking questions about the “new girl.” Doing this allows them to transition from “taken” to “single” without having parents and others noticing. Additionally, lots of guys also know that refusing to let you and his family mingle sends the message that he’s not serious.
2. Getting him to commit to the “boyfriend” label was an uphill battle
From personal experience, I’ve learned that the harder you have to fight for him to call you a girlfriend, the less serious the relationship will end up being. Guys, when serious about a woman, will do what they can to commit. He’s not serious if you literally had to fight for the label of “girlfriend,” even if you have been dating for years.
3. He makes a point to exclude you from life plans
Guys and girls are both the same in the sense that they tend to think long-term when they are in a long-term relationship. If they are not talking about the future with you, it’s because they aren’t serious about having a future that includes you in it. Read More…
