Does She Want Something Serious – Or A Fling?
According to traditional stereotypes, guys are the ones that want to sow their wild oats and who are loathe to settle down prematurely. It's considered normal for a man to go out looking for a one night engagement, and most women know to be wary of guys they meet in bars since they probably aren't looking for a relationship.
Did you know that the roles can definitely be reversed, though? Knowing whether the woman who you're seeing is looking for a long-term commitment or a fling can be tricky, but it's important to be able to tell the difference. Check out a few great tips about knowing her intentions by reading more below.
Does She Let You Into Her Inner Circle?
If a woman wants you to meet her mom and dad after a date or two, it could be a warning sign. On the other hand, if she never makes a peep about introducing you to her closest friends and relatives, it could be a sign that she has no intention of being truly committed to you for the long term.
Beyond meeting those who are close to you, she should at least talk about them periodically. If not, she's probably avoiding the subject entirely because she never envisions you being a part of her world in that way.
How Does She Describe The Future?
Many times, women give subtle hints that they don't plan on sticking with you by discussing the future – a future without you. For example, if the two of you are talking about your plans for next summer, and she makes nary a peep about you being included in any plans, she's probably not expecting you to be around by then. Even further ahead, if she says things like, “I'll probably marry a doctor” - and you're not one and never will be one – then she's not taking your tryst very seriously.
Fun, Fun, Fun
“Fun” is a wonderful word; when the girl you're seeing constantly uses it to describe you, though, it can mean that she sees you as a brief fling. Pay attention to how often she uses the word; for instance, if she says, “You are so much fun! You're such a fun guy!” or something like that, she's probably already crossed you off the prospective boyfriend list. Assuming that it's okay with you, go ahead and have as much fun as possible, while it lasts.
Know What You Want
Guys can get their hearts broken just as easily as women. When you start seeing someone, it's important to know what the basic expectations will be. Of course, there's no way to predict whether or not a few dates will morph into a long term relationship; however, it is pretty easy to discern whether or not what you've got going on is strictly about sex or heading in a more serious direction. Figure it out early on – and clear the air by chatting about it with her – so you are both on the same page; that way, no one's heart gets bruised.
