So you've found yourself a mighty mighty good man. Or have you? Are you starting to wonder if you're the only one taking things seriously? Maybe your man isn't relationship ready. Here are the top 3 signs your man isn't ready to commit.

Friends & Family
If your man is ready for a serious relationship he should have no problem introducing you to his friends and family. This is one of the biggest signs if your guy is relationship ready or not. Is your man unwilling to involve you with his whole life? Does he only want to hang out with you alone? Is he willing to hang out with your friends but you can never hang out with his friends?

He's keeping you away from the rest of his life because he doesn't want things to get messy when the break-up happens. This is a huge warning sign he's not relationship ready. Demand a change, and if he isn't willing to introduce you into his whole life, you need to boot him to the curb.

The Pop-By
You've been dating for several months, but your man hates it when you drop by unexpectedly? There's a very good chance he's messing around behind your back. Think about it. If he really loves you he should be happy about seeing you. Cheaters hate the pop-by.

However this one is a two-way street. If you're stopping by all the time out of the blue to check up on your man, then it makes sense for him to be annoyed by your behavior. Be honest with yourself. Are you stopping by out of jealousy? Trying to keep constant tabs on your man? Smothering behavior like that will kill a relationship as fast as anything.

But if your man hates it when you drop in occasionally, if he seems flustered and upset when it happens, then it is very likely that he's cheating on you. At the very least this is a definite sign that he is not relationship ready.

No Time
Your man is busy. He's really busy.

Can he only make time to see you one or two days a week? Does he seem distracted or exhausted even when you guys are spending time together? Are you always the one calling him? Does it feel like you have to twist his arm to get him to spend a night out with you? This man is not relationship ready.

The best man in the world won't be able to make you happy if he only has a few hours each week to spend with you. If his busy schedule is a short-term problem, then maybe you tough it out with him and keep an eye on that light at the end of the tunnel.

But if your man is this busy and there's no change in sight, you need to let him go. Maybe sometime in the far-off future he'll be relationship ready, but for now you need to find a man who has time for love, and the time to make you a top priority.
