Is he serious?
Women searching for husbands ask each other this question. It is one of their biggest dilemmas. The reality is that you may never know if your man is serious. He may even be pretending. Just when you begin to give him your all, he slips away. That is why you have to love with your eyes wide open. That will help you detect the indicators of infidelity.
“So how do I know if my man is serious?” Consider this “Tip Sheet” of questions. They will guide you.

1. Has he proposed? Do not expect a marriage proposal early in your relationship. Few men do that.
2. Does he lie or tell you the truth? If he lies or mixes lies with some truth, it is an early warning signal that he is not serious.
3. Is he more interested in taking you out or buying you gifts? They are good. If he does not show any interest in knowing you, watch out! His commitment is far away.
4. Does he feel inferior or inadequate in any way? A man with a complex will not propose marriage.
5. Is there anything about you that makes him uncomfortable? Better deal with it else you will lose him.
6. Does he confide in you and discuss his plans and dreams with you? A man who wants to marry you will make you part of his drive for success.
7. Does he seek your advice? Many men because of ego may not. If your man does, he may well be serious.
8. Is he eager to know your past? What about his past? For some men this is not a big deal. For others it is. He wants to be sure.
9. Is he irritated when you make financial demands? It is a signal for you to stop.
10. Does he flirt with other women? What other indicator do you need to know he is not serious?
11. How does he react to your weaknesses? If he does it with concern and is willing to help you overcome them, then he is serious. If he does it with disrespect, be careful! A man who wants to marry you will respect you.
12. Does he give you due recognition among his friends, colleagues, associates and family members? If he does, that is positive.
13. Was he consistent in seeing you and spending time with you? Now he no longer comes around and gives excuses? This is a signal that all is not well.
14. Is he at ease with members of your family? If not, do something about it.
15. Is he in touch with an old “flame?” If he is, please use wisdom to handle him else he will quit.
16. Does he show uncomfortable interest in your sisters and your girl friends? Watch out! You may be displaced.
17. Has he ever discussed marriage with you? If you mention it how does he react? If he is uncomfortable, you have a long way to go.
