Planning a holiday together- You may not be living together but this is the test of see if you are willing to stand spending time in each other’s company for a week or two.

Discussing plans for the future- Marriage, kids, mortgage- and easy way to make a man run for the hills, but still it means you are serious!

Being invited to family gatherings- Aunties, uncles, grandparents- they all want to meet you, embarrass you and ask every intimate detail of your relationship.

Saying “I love you”- Ah those three words that can get you in a lot of trouble if you aren’t serous- so use them wisely!

Being introduced to wider friendship circles- If you are proud of your partner, every Tom, Dick and Harry has to meet them so you can silently say- I get to sleep with this!

Discussing how many children you might want in the future- Kids is big commitment so talking about them means you can sign your lady parts off to him right now.
