10 Signs That He's A Keeper

Don't be discouraged, ladies. There are men that are looking for a committed relationship. You just have to know what to look for. Here are ten ways to tell if he's marriage material.

1. He's genuinely interested in you.
   A man that prioritizes your needs over your physical appearance is looking for love.
2. He abides by your rules
   Stick to your standards and you'll weed out the men who aren't serious.
3. Lay the foundation for your conversation
   You control the direction of your conversation. Do you want flirty conversation, or a heart-to-heart? Do you prefer to message, chat or talk over the phone? With a few simple ground rules in place, all you two have to focus on is getting to know each other on a deeper level.
4. He calls you right away.
   "I was busy" should never be an excuse. If he's serious, he'll make time to call you.
5. He pays the bill.
   If a man picks up the check, he's not just being chivalrous, he's showing that he's willing to provide for you.
6. He shows up on time.
   Men make time for what they're serious about. If he's late to most of your dates, then you just may not be a priority.
7. He introduces you to his people.
   A love-minded man will want to get you in front of his family as soon as possible, so he can see how you'll fit into his life.
8. He's comfortable around your people.
   A man that can handle himself around your friends and family is a keeper.
9. He's comfortable around your kids.
   A man that can hold his own with your kids is a keeper.
10. He's a natural provider.
    A man that has a career or can hold down a job is a keeper.
11. He wants your relationship to be exclusive.
    If a man sees you as his wife, he'll want to you to be exclusive immediately. Only men who aren't serious want to keep their options open.
