Or, if you don't want to be that direct, you can tell him that you are interested in taking the relationship to the next level and you want to know what he's interested in. If he feels you're heading toward a committed relationship, it's fair to ask questions like, how long is this road to a relationship? Are there any obstacles that you see? How fast are we traveling?"
"Your relationship belongs to both of you, so don't be afraid to ask for what you want or need. And don't be afraid to tell him when something isn't working for you. Love is communication. It's not just saying I love you, it's also saying let's talk about this and can you help me understand and wow, this one thing is not working for me but this thing between us definitely does work for me"
