Maybe you\u2019ve just met, maybe you\u2019ve already hooked up, and now you\u2019re confused\u00a0\u2014\u00a0does he just want sex, or does he want\u00a0commitment?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should start this article out by saying that the easiest way to figure out what a guy wants is to ask him straight out. Unless you\u2019re honest, telling him what you want and asking him what he wants, you\u2019re shooting in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read signals<\/strong>, but it\u2019s bound to cause confusion if you, at any point, let your hopes and fears cloud your mind when interpreting them. Most people are much better at seeing what\u2019s going on in other people\u2019s lives than their own because when it comes to themselves their judgment is clouded by emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people are scared to ask if someone wants to date them or just hook up<\/strong> with them straight out. But if you think he can\u2019t handle that conversation, is he really someone you want to be dating? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if you think he\u2019s going to lie to you, is he really someone you want to be dating? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having an honest conversation is bar none the easiest way to determine what someone wants. The only problem is that some people lie and some people don\u2019t know what they want. They think they just want sex when they want commitment, or they think they were committed when really all they want is sex. That\u2019s why sometimes it is good to see if his words are backed by his actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do beware though when looking at the below signs that they are only guidelines \u2014 some men act completely differently. Also bear in mind that you\u2019re probably swayed either by fear, or hope when analyzing your relationship with someone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 Signs He Just Wants Hookups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. All Conversations Turn Sexual <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If, when you text or speak in real life, he brings every conversation back to sex, chances are, that\u2019s the main thing on his mind. He\u2019s not thinking about a relationship, he\u2019s thinking about sex.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. He Only Texts When He\u2019s Horny <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He doesn\u2019t text to see how you\u2019re doing, or hear about your day, or get to know you better. He sexts to have some fun, or he texts at nine o\u2019clock at night when he wants you to come over.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. His Life Is Unsettled <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s\u00a0planning\u00a0to move to Bali in three to twelve months, or he\u2019s open to jobs anywhere in the country. He\u2019s planning on going to Europe to backpack for three months, or he\u2019s talking about how he\u2019s in a state of constant flux right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If he says he\u2019s not ready to settle, even if he wants more than sex, he\u2019s probably not ready for commitment. At least not for longer than a couple of months. If he knows that, chances are he won\u2019t change his mind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Your Dates Are All About the Sex <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If every date is about dinner and sex, or a movie and sex, all happening at home, as opposed to him taking you on all kinds of dates and adventures, then chances are his main focus is sex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s not trying to impress you or get to know you, he\u2019s trying to have sex with you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. He Doesn\u2019t Share Much <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most men who want to be in a committed relationship are opening themselves up to the person they\u2019re considering dating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all he shares about himself is trivia, then is he really invested?\u00a0Of course,\u00a0he could just be emotionally distant in general, but is that what you want from a man?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. He Doesn\u2019t Ask Many Questions <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is he really trying to get to know you, or is he just trying to get to know your body? A man who wants to be with you is generally curious about you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. He Avoids Spending Time with Your Friends <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No matter how many times you invite him to hang out with your friends (or family), he has an excuse for why he can\u2019t join. Hanging out with people who matter to you, would mean he\u2019s getting involved with your life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. He Doesn\u2019t Invite You to Meet the People in His Life <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just as he isn\u2019t keen to hang out with your friends, he doesn\u2019t invite you to get to know the people in his life. From not bringing you to work-related events, to never inviting you to join him when he spends time with friends, he doesn\u2019t seem keen on you meeting the important people in his life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. He Never Speaks About a Future with You in It <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When he talks about future plans, such as his next vacation, you\u2019re not in the picture. Nor does he engage in dreaming about things you will do together a few months from now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. He Doesn\u2019t Offer Emotional Support Nor Asks for It <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If he isn\u2019t the kind of person you\u2019d consider calling when you need a hug, how invested is he, really? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And does he ever ask you for advice, or for emotional support when he has something on his mind? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or is it all about sex, or simply keeping things casual, or emotionally distant?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 Signs He Wants a Committed Relationship <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having had a look at signs that he doesn\u2019t want a\u00a0committed relationship, let\u2019s have a look at the signs he has feelings for you<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. He Invests Time and Effort in Dates  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You feel that he cares because he takes time and effort when coming up with dates. Even if it\u2019s simple you see he cares because he\u2019s picked things he thinks you\u2019ll enjoy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. He Is There for You <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He makes it clear you can turn to him if you need a hug after a long day, or a helping hand with your car.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. He Introduces You to Friends <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He seems genuinely enthusiastic about introducing you to his friends, co-workers, and possibly even family.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. He Stays in Touch <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While he may be a busy man or one who hates texting, he still makes an effort to touch base as often as he can. He also makes an effort to actually see you face-to-face.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. He Dotes on You <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you are together he ensures you\u2019re alright. If you\u2019re cold, he offers you his jacket or tells you it\u2019s time to head inside.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. He\u2019s Thoughtful <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve had a victory at work, he suggests you celebrate together. After a doctor\u2019s appointment, he buys you a rose or calls to ask you how it went. He\u2019s thinking about you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. He Dreams about the Future <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He doesn\u2019t mind talking about dates you\u2019ll go on in three months when it\u2019s summer, or daydreaming about a vacation you\u2019ll go on one day. In short, the idea of a future together doesn\u2019t scare the\u00a0bejeezus\u00a0out of him.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. He Doesn\u2019t Go Straight for Sex <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While most men have sex on their brains, if he waits to pursue it, it often shows he\u2019s serious. That said, he might also try it on straight away, but he would be willing to wait if you asked him.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. You\u2019re Not One in Twenty <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If he\u2019s dating five other women or surrounded by women he is flirting with, then he may not be as serious as if you\u2019re the one and only.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. He\u2019s Had His Fill <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He makes it clear that he\u2019s been around the block a few times and is ready for something more serious, or simply that he never wanted to go\u00a0around\u00a0the block in the first place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. He Shows You Off in Public <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He doesn\u2019t try to hide his feelings for you in public. Rather he\u2019s happy to walk around town holding your hand, making it quite clear you\u2019re an item.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
