Notice especially how often he does this when you are not a part of the conversation, such as when he is on the phone with his friends.
Consider his background, as well. If he comes from a family where those words are rarely said, he might not say them to you often. But this does not mean he doesn’t love you. If he has not said “I love you” yet, allow him to do so in his own time so that you know the words are genuine. Don’t pressure him into saying it before he is ready.
Consider also if he mentions going to events that are far into the future with you, like a wedding or family reunion.
Say something like “I’ve really enjoyed being with you these last few months and I’m excited to see where things go. Can you imagine us being together long-term?”
Don’t sweat it if he doesn’t invite you out when it’s boys’ night. This is a time for him and his guys.
If he keeps things at your place, this is a sign of seriousness, as well, but it is not necessarily a sign of commitment.
