A man commits when fear of losing her outweighs his doubts about the relationship. Real commitment looks like him publicly naming and claiming her to friends and family, not keeping it secret or treating it as temporary. That's when she knows she's been chosen.
He does not commit because you issued him an ultimatum. He does not commit because it was convenient or because you waited long enough. He commits because the thought of losing you becomes more unbearable to him than any fear he has about being with you. And when a man arrives at that point, he doesn't just keep it as a whispered secret. He doesn't treat you like a limited series on Netflix, compelling for 3 episodes, but with no season 2. He names it. He claims it. He tells his friends and he tells his family. He makes it unmistakably, publicly, officially clear that you are his. He claims you. He doesn't hide you. He doesn't leave you wondering. He chooses you out loud, publicly, fully. Because a man who deeply loves you is simply not willing to gamble with the possibility of losing you. And when you feel that from a man, when you feel truly chosen, claimed, and kept, you don't need to look for signs anymore. You already know.
