It can be difficult to outright ask whether or not a man is interested in a long-term relationship and many people fear that doing so will scare away a person who has potential, but may fear commitment. In many cases there are signs that indicate his intentions and what kind of commitment you can expect he will be able to make, but often these key actions are not evaluated until long after they have occurred. Making assumptions can be dangerous in a relationship, but a little common sense can usually allow for certain conclusions to be drawn. As with most human behavior, many of the situations people find themselves in are not unique and can therefore be calculated according to the typical outcome of such situations. By simply paying attention to some of the more common actions men take a great deal of confusion and doubt can be prevented.
Beginning Contact: Often at the beginning of a relationship men feel compelled to keep a little distance from their partner by not making contact regularly. In some cases people assume that because of this lack of contact, there is a lack of interest, but this is not always the case. Our society dictates much of our social interaction (whether or not it makes sense,) and according to those unspoken rules men are not allowed to show too much interest. Especially amongst men there is also a great deal of difficulty when he shows too much interest in romance; many men have friends who will tease them and make it difficult to make public their feelings for another person. Woman almost always have the support of their friends in romantic situations which allows them to feel confidant and happy about expressing their emotions; men often do have this luxury and for this reason might not express their true feelings right away. Even people who are expressly looking for relationships (e.g. online dating, matchmaking or singles events,) can be compelled to act in accordance with what they believe is expected. Dont be discouraged if a man does not initiate contact as often as you would like toward the beginning of a relationship; though if he is constantly aloof or breaks dates this can be a very bad sign indeed.

Sharing the Little Things: After the initial stages of a relationship have moved into a slightly more comfortable phase many men who are interested in the long-term will desire conversations about the daily goings on of your life. If they do not express this interest it is often a sign that you are not on their mind a great deal and perhaps have little interest in knowing you better. While some men may find it difficult to talk many will put forth an effort, even when it is not their strong suit, to let you know that they care about how youre feeling. It can be very important in the early stages of a relationship to share details of your life with your partner as in the beginning stages people are often on their best behavior and not always completely open with their faults. If a man is looking to spend a good deal of time with you in his future, he will often want to know what kind of person you are on a day to day basis.
