10 señales de que está listo para sentar la cabeza

You’re in a stable relationship but it seems to you like he’ll never settle down because he’s never mentioned anything about it.

I know that waiting is hard, but don’t make some wrong decisions because you think that your man will never be ready for the next step.

He will – you just have to be patient because settling down isn’t easy for men.

Saben que su vida cambiará cuando lo hagan. Les asusta porque conlleva muchas responsabilidades.

A la hora de sentar la cabeza, las mujeres siempre son más maduras y directas.

Men prefer to go slowly (to be honest, their biological clock isn’t ticking as fast as ours).

Tu hombre nunca será directo a la hora de sentar la cabeza.

Instead, he’ll start to show some signs that he is ready to spend his life with you.

Watch out for these signs and if your man shows any of them, he’ll most likely want to settle down with you sooner than you think.

1. You’ve become his priority

A la mayoría de los chicos les gusta tener sus amigos masculinos y salir con ellos siempre que pueden.

Aunque tengan pareja, salir con sus amigos sigue siendo su prioridad número uno.

But when a man decides that it’s time to settle down with his girlfriend, this changes.

Ella se convierte en su prioridad y salir con ella es todo lo que quiere hacer.

He’ll never ditch you because of his friends – just the opposite – he’ll ditch them because he prefers hanging out with you.

You are in all of his plans – for holidays, for summer vacations…

He’ll even invite you on his business trips or to some important social events. Pone tus necesidades en primer lugar.

Meeting your needs becomes the most important thing for him because he’s finally realized that you are the most important person in his life.

2. Se abre a ti

Men don’t like to show their vulnerable side, which is why opening up is so difficult for them.

They aren’t used to talking about things that bother them with their friends like we are.

Si decide abrirse a ti, significa que confía en ti y que sabe que sus secretos están seguros contigo.

Sabe que nunca le traicionarás como lo harían la mayoría de las personas de su vida.

This means you’ve gained his trust and that is the most important part of a healthy relationship.

Probablemente seas la única persona en su vida a la que puede contar todos sus pensamientos más profundos y sus secretos más oscuros.

3. Demuestra cuánto le importa

He understands that words aren’t enough and that he must show you how much te ama a través de las pequeñas cosas de la vida.

Por ejemplo: Te pueden sorprender con una entrega de flores en plena jornada laboral.

When you check the date, you realize it’s not your birthday or your anniversary…

Justo cuando empiezas a pensar que debe tratarse de algún tipo de error, encuentras una nota de amor en el ramo que dice que sólo quería darte una sorpresa y recordarte lo mucho que te quiere.

4. Te ha presentado a su familia

Éste es uno de los pasos más importantes que hay que dar cuando una relación se vuelve más seria. La familia es la parte más importante de su vida.

This is how he shows that he wants a serious relationship with you because he doesn’t bring every girlfriend home to meet his parents.

And he won’t introduce you to his family until he is sure that you are the one.

His family are the people he loves and trusts the most. That’s why it’s important to him that you meet them.

And it’s important for you to leave a good impression and get them to like you.

5. Intenta acercarse a tu familia

Igual que su familia es importante para él, sabe que la tuya lo es para ti.

He knows that you are daddy’s little girl and that’s why he’ll do everything to get your dad’s approval.

También quiere demostrar a tu familia que sus intenciones contigo son honestas.

He’ll talk more about his career and his plans for the future with them than with you because he wants to show them that you are in good hands.

6. Le parece bien que dejes tus cosas en su casa

Las primeras veces que pasaste la noche en su casa, te escribió un mensaje para avisarte de que habías olvidado algunas de tus cosas en su casa.

Puede que incluso te trajera esas cosas la próxima vez que salieras o viniera a verte.

Ahora, sin embargo, te anima a dejar algunas cosas en su casa porque te quiere en su vida para siempre.

Quiere ver cómo le sienta tener una mujer en casa. Lo mismo pasa con dejar sus cosas en tu casa.

He’s started to leave some of his stuff at your place because he wants to see if you are okay with it.

If this is the case, you should start packing your things. It’s only a matter of time before he asks you to move into his place.

7. He doesn’t run from problems

His love is unconditional and that means he loves you no matter what. He’ll love you the same even during the bad times.

He’ll be there for you at every moment of your life because he’s committed to you.

He can’t imagine his life without you and that’s why he’ll fight for you no matter what.

You’ll have many fights and deal with many troubles in your relationship, like every couple, but he won’t leave. Nothing could make him leave.

If anything, it’ll seem like after every fight he loves you more. Before it was so difficult for him to say that he was sorry, but now he won’t be too proud to apologize if he did something wrong.

8. Habla del futuro

Al principio de vuestra relación, él huía de las conversaciones sobre el futuro.

Siempre tenía una excusa para no hablar de ello. Ahora, es él quien inicia esas conversaciones.

He doesn’t want to be without you. Not now, not ever. That’s made him think about the future he wants to have with you.

Él quiere saber cuáles son sus planes de futuro. Además, quiere ver si forma parte de tus planes.

Quiere saber si tus ideas sobre el futuro coinciden con las suyas. Le gusta que hables de las cosas que queréis hacer juntos.

He’ll tell you what kind of house he wants to buy, how many kids he wants to have, and you’ll see how his eyes light up when he talks about all of these things.  That’s because he is looking forward to sharing his life with you.

9. The ‘money talk’

After you’ve had the talk about the future comes the inevitable talk about finances.

One thing is sure, a man will never talk about money if he isn’t sure that your relationship is serious.

He won’t ask you how much money you make or how much money you have in your savings account.

He thinks those things are too personal and he doesn’t feel comfortable talking about them.

But after you’ve discussed the future, he’ll tell you himself how much he makes for a living.

10. Habla de niños

This is something you must take seriously. Guys never joke about having kids and that’s a fact!

Every man knows it’s a big, serious commitment and they will never even talk about it if they don’t feel ready.

If he ever compares you with his mother or tells you that you’ll be a great mother one day, that’s it, he thinks that you are “the one”.

He will try to spend more time with your younger siblings because that’s how he wants to find out if you’re ready for kids – and he wants to show you that he is good with kids.

Para terminar

Si has notado algo de lo anterior, es una gran señal porque significa que tu pareja podría querer sentar la cabeza en un futuro próximo.

But, if you are not sure that your boyfriend has shown any of these signs, don’t panic. Give him more time.

Por desgracia, algunos chicos son mucho más relajados a la hora de sentar la cabeza y, si les quieres, tienes que ser paciente y esperar.
