Unmistakable Clues He's Totally Into You

17. He's Open About His Future

A man who is genuinely interested in a long-term connection with you will feel comfortable discussing his future plans. This doesn't mean he'll be picking out china patterns on the second date. Instead, he will casually mention his goals for the next year or two, whether it’s a career move, a travel plan, or a big project he’s excited about. More importantly, he will begin to subtly include you in those plans. He might say, "When I go hiking in the summer, I’d love for you to come," or "I've always wanted to try that new restaurant with you." This shows he is thinking of you as a part of his life moving forward.

18. He's Attentive to Your Boundaries

A man's respect for your boundaries is a critical indicator of his level of interest. This goes beyond just respecting "no." It’s about listening and adapting to your comfort levels, even for small things. For instance, if you mention you don't like to be tickled, he won't do it as a playful challenge. If you say you need a quiet night in, he won't pressure you to go out. His ability to respect your wishes without taking it as a personal rejection demonstrates a high level of emotional maturity and a genuine desire to make you feel safe and comfortable in his presence. This respect is a fundamental building block for any lasting connection.
