DearJames,
I want to know is the person I’m with serious about our relationship, or what is it that he really wants out of it?

Dear Serious About Our Relationship,
Looking to discern his motives before your own deprives you of your internal wisdom and power. In this, I mean that you are limiting or denying that which you already know, sense and feel.
It is by looking inward, that we allow ourselves the ability and opportunity to see beyond the surface of any issue, in order to discern the pearl of wisdom hidden within.
The issue here is not is he serious about your relationship or what it is he wants out of it, the issue is why did you agree to help each other see and overcome certain lessons.
This man does not seek to harm you in any way, knowingly or unknowingly. He is simply playing his part or role so that you may see your self more clearly. He glides upon the train track next to yours, at times being in unison with you, and other times lagging in the far distance behind you, causing you to question where the relationship is going or what will be derived from it.
The feelings of uncertainty you are experiencing with him are part of the greater lessons you chose to experience and overcome. He is a mirror, perfect in its reflection, by which you are able to see, feel and experience your self and your inner needs or desires clearly.
Recognize the reflection in this mirror is your own, sole and separate of the man you speak of. He is an opportunity for you to overcome these feelings of need or lack within, thereby transcending that which has played a large part in your life.
Coming to understand that you are all you will ever need allows you to become whole. Thus you will come to understand and know your own intentions and whether or not this is a relationship for the ages, or one that has served you and its purpose well.
By transcending the greater issue that lies below your initial question, any relationship you enter into in the future, or stay with now, becomes the icing upon your own richly created cake.
