If he says things like “One day we could visit Paris” or “In-unit laundry would be great in our next apartment,” he’s envisioning you by his side. He doesn’t have to make long-term proclamations about marriage or old age (although those might be nice!)—even shorter-term plans indicate he’s falling in love.
