When to move from dating to a real relationship

You've been dating for a while and things are going well. The relationship looks like it's going to last, but you're not sure if you're ready for marriage yet.
When is the time to move from dating to marriage? How can you determine if this is the right time for you?

What is an Essential Transition to a Real Relationship?

The transition to a real relationship is not an easy process. Although it is a natural process, it takes time and effort on both sides. People who are used to meeting someone new may not always be ready for a serious relationship 

An essential transition to a real relationship is often the one that follows dating for years and results in commitment.
In a dating culture where everything is consumable, it is not easy to let go of the dating mindset. This can be a difficult transition and especially scary when you are in the first stage of a long-term relationship.

During this phase of the relationship, it helps to have some ground rules that guide what happens at different stages. It helps to build trust, respect and intimacy in the relationship and make sure both parties are satisfied with it.

In order to make this transition easier for both parties, there are some things that you can do during the first month or two of your relationship.

Possible Signs That Your Relationship Is Not Real​​

The most common sign that there is no real relationship between two people is that they are not open about each other's personal lives. If the person shows no interest in your life, you should be wary.

Another thing you should always be wary of is a sudden "personality change. A person who was one thing yesterday may be completely different today for no particular reason.

If he doesn't communicate or doesn't agree with his usual routine, that, too, is a sign that something is wrong.
