Serious reply................ often there's no defined point at which a relationship becomes "serious". Why would there be? You're each getting to know the other person in a gradual way so each day is a small step on the way to a lifetime together.
Are you worried about how committed he is to the relationship? What makes you think he isn't committed?
When he kisses you in front of his parents and/or siblings, when he says "we", when he camps at your doorstep for the chance of seeing you, when his friends say he talks about you all the time, when you've been on holiday together, when he starts looking at the real estate sections in papers, when he starts pointing out cute babies, and if he mentions friends who have good marriages, etc etc.
What Jimbo said about the phone. If he hides his phone or locks it, move on, you're not the one. Save yourself the heartache. Seriously in all the conversations I've had with friends/in my own experience/hairdressers, it is the way he behaves around his phone that gives it away. Why else would you need to hide your phone unless you had something to hide...
obviously women hide their phones too...probably for similar reasons.

Blimey we agreed on something.
Same can be applied to Facebook or other such social sites as well. If he shuts it down quickly whenever you around or won't let you see his profile.
Seriously I knew there was commitmant when he stopped going to away games and started including me in everything ie going to the pub/weekend visits to siblings/family events.If anything I was the one worried about committing but I was only 20 at the time and thought I was too young.

Id say when he leaves stuff at your place...toothbrush and other such items. Or perhaps if he suggests a short break away together?
But then different strokes for diff folks AL......
Lol, I was going to say, when he leaves his wife!
Ahem, I'll get my coat ...
if so - grab him - at least then YOU'RE committed
wow that is committment I haven't got that after 15 years together and 6 of them married! But then I know my place.....

When he throws away his jazz mag collection.
He lets you look through his mobile phone.
He doesn't run out of the room when you talk about weddings/babies.
He holds your hand infront of his mates.
He introduces you to his family.
what is Final Score?
must be a footy thing right?
Just thought of another one
He doesn't mind when you call Football, footy.
Is it me or is it just a given?
Mind you, I've made that mistake a couple of times... Coops seemed so happy with me, but then he just turned cold on me one day.
When he mentions some event/occurence that is some consirable time in the future and seems to assume you'll still be together?
Depends how communicative he is, too.
What does 'committed' mean anyway? When you can't imagine being without the other person?
I think a proposal of marriage, or of moving in together, would be pretty difinitive though!

....I think one thing is on everyone's lips AL.
Why do you want to know?.....come on dish the beans......no spill the dirt.....oh you know what I mean!!!
He can say 'I love you' without either.....
1) Laughing/Giggling.
2) Crossing his fingers.
3) Avoiding eye contact.
4) Without giving him the 'good lovin' first.
5) Asking if it's OK if he spends the weekend with the lads just before/after.
