When you’ve been seeing a guy for a while and are in that awkward place between being casual and being a full-on couple, it can be hard to tell what his intentions are.

Sure, he might stay at yours every so often, but how can you figure out if he actually wants something long-term?

Here are a few tell-tale signs to look out for…

1. Your dates aren’t just same old, same old
At the beginning of a relationship the easiest date options are drinks, dinner or a movie. When he starts talking about doing different things together or wants to show you his favourite hang-out spots, take it as a sign that he’s trying to let you into his world. You’re not just another girl, you’re someone he wants to share more of himself with.

2. He checks in with you about your plans
If he’s “casually” checking what your plans are for the weekend, it’s a sure sign he wants to spend more time with you. We’re not saying you automatically need to start spending every waking moment together, but the fact that he’s considering you in his plans means you’re a priority for him.

3. He talks about you when you’re not there
When you really like someone, they’re in your head all the time, and it’s only natural you’d start throwing their name into conversation. Whether one of your pals gives you the tip-off or whether he off-handedly mentions a conversation he had involving you, the fact that he’s chatting to others about you is a sure sign he’s into you.

4. He’s happy to sit through your fave TV shows, just because
It’s one thing to try to get into your good books before the two of you have had sex, but if you’ve already done the deed and he’s still got no problem catching up on three episodes of Great British Bake Off with you, then he’s a keeper. The fact that he’s still trying to score brownie points even though you’ve been seeing each other a while means he really wants to keep on your good side. Aaaw!

5. He stays for breakfast
If he likes to stick around in the mornings and relax with you rather than legging it out the door, it means he’s not just in this for fun. He values your time and company and can’t wait to get to know you better.

6. It’s not just about sex for him
In an ideal world, none of us would ever feel pressured into having sex with a new person before we were ready, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. If your new guy doesn’t mind waiting until you feel more secure, it shows he cares about your feelings too. Likewise, if he doesn’t disappear off the face of the earth the second the two of you actually do have sex, that’s a sign he’s not just in this for one thing only.

7. He wants to meet the people you care about
Whether it means coming along to Friday night drinks with your ladies, or meeting your parents for dinner, he’s happy to meet the people who are important to you, and he wants to make a good impression.

The very first glimpse of Amal Alamuddin’s wedding dress has been released and we are in love.

Amal wore an Oscar de la Renta dress that was lace and slightly off the shoulder.

Her hair was worn long and with a stunning floor-length veil with embroidered detailing.

George didn’t look too bad either but all of our attention was on his gorgeous bride!

Amal, having already proven herself as so much more as George’s new wife, with a highly successful law career behind her, has also proved she has serious style too.

We particularly loved a Giambattista Valli dress she wore the day after the wedding, and also turned heads in a cream coloured pants suit she wore for the civil ceremony yesterday.

We hope she makes lots of appearance on the red carpet with her new man because this lady can dress!

Congratulations to the happy couple – such lovely photos!

The modern dating world would be nothing without Tinder, Plenty of Fish, eHarmony and co. Right? Well, maybe not!

A new study carried out by Michigan University reveals that dating online might not be the answer to finding true love.

Couples who met on the internet are in fact more likely to break up than those who meet offline, and they are also less likely to get married.

The research also showed that online dating isn't the most effective way to find a romantic partner. It generally takes couples longer to initiate a relationship if they've met through a dating site than if they've met in real life.

So that drunken shift at Coppers might be more likely to be The One than that potential date from Tinder? Possibly… but the research also suggests that the reason online dating fails is that we take it less seriously than we should.

Regardless of how you meet, the study notes that key to a successful romance is how long you spend getting to know each other and how much value couples place in their new relationship. "This leads to greater stability… which in turn increases the odds of them staying together in the long run," said the study's author Aditi Paul.

Sounds like a no-brainer to us!

The MTV Europe Music Awards is coming up and who better to host this celebration of the most popular music in Europe than Nicki Minaj, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago and grew up in New York.

Hmmm.

Nicki made the announcement today on Twitter and Facebook, posting:

“So excited to announce that I will not only perform, but I have the honourable task of HOSTING this year's MTV European Music Awards!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! The show will shoot in GLASGOW, SCOTLAND for its 20th Anniversary ON NOVEMBER 9th!!!!”

As Nicki mentioned, if you can find it amongst the exclamation marks, this is the 20th anniversary of the MTV Europe Music Awards and will be held in Glasgow. The show in November 9th and woill be broadcast live.

Nicki will join stars such as Katy Perry, Eminem and Iggy Azalea who are also performing on the night.

Katy Perry is leading the nominations this year with seven in total, closely followed by Ariana Grande with six and Pharrell who has five nominations.

Other than being help in Glasgow, what exactly makes this the European awards again?

Supermarkets reported a sales spike of up to 50% after the Great British Bake Off featured fancy doughnuts in the final round last Wednesday.

According to Asda they sold 10,000 doughnuts the day after the show alone, selling half a million in the last week.

Hopefully this new trend will encourage supermarkets to sell the doughnut flavours featured on the show, such as the unbelievable cocktail doughnuts made by Louis. His mojito and Baileys opened up a whole world of possibilities. Long Island Iced Doughnut anyone?

If the sugary snacks really make a comeback, this could be the start of a whole new fashion. Gelaterie and frozen yoghurt shops seem to be everywhere now but if we're lucky, speciality doughnuts could be the pop-up shops of 2015.

Rumours have been swirling around for the last few weeks that Liv Tyler is pregnant, and now the actress herself has confirmed the happy news!

The proud dad is Liv's boyfriend, sports manager Dave Gardner.

The new baby will no doubt by looked after by his two big brothers, Liv's nine-year-old, Milo and Dave's seven-year-old, Grey.

The couple are "thrilled with the news" according to Liv's rep. Another source said that Liv "was really trying for another baby."

On holidays in Spain last month, Liv was repeatedly pictured covering her stomach with loose dresses, or holding hats and bags over it, which sparked the initial pregnancy rumours.

Liv had spoken in recent interviews about her wish to have more children. "If the stork could just drop it off on my roof, I'd be so happy – I'd have, like, 20," she said. Aaaw!

The actress and her man, who were introduced by mutual pal Kate Moss, have been dating since earlier this year. Friends of Liv have described the relationship as "the real deal," saying that the pair are "madly in love."

We wish them all the best!

Singer Jason Derulo has spoken out about the real reasons behind his split with Jordin Sparks.

At first the star was quick to deny that there was any bad blood between the pair, but now it seems he wasn’t being 100% honest about how things ended!

In an interview yesterday, Jason took some time to address the rumours about why he and Jordin had called it quits. “I'm not one to throw my business out on the street, but I thought it was important because things are getting a little out of hand,” said the 25-year-old.

He added that “there was a lot of tension in the relationship for a lot of different reasons… There were a lot of pressures of marriage. There was a lot of arguing and stuff like that that just weighed on our relationship over time.”

In a statement to ABC news yesterday, Jason also made it clear that “infidelity, cheating or deceit played no part” in the couple’s break-up.

The couple were together for three years from 2011 to 2014, and Jason admitted that the spark had gone out in some ways.

“I think sometimes you can be in a relationship so long, it becomes a part of your life and you feel like you’re obligated. And when you start feeling obligated and you start feeling like it's something you have to do because it’s necessary, like breathing, that’s not a good situation either,” he said.

We wonder what Jordin has to say about all of this! So far the star has been keeping quiet, though she did post this heart-breaking message to Twitter a few days ago…

We hope she's doing okay!

Kendall Jenner has revealed the secret behind her runway body – and it doesn’t sound so appetising!

The model, who has walked for big names such as Givenchy and Marc Jacobs at this year’s fashion weeks, told E! News that she drinks a lot of…detox tea!

“I usually start my day off with a cup of detox tea. I have like 12 cups a day.”

Eh… 12 cups?! Well, we reckon we probably have about the same of Barry’s tea, same thing, right?!

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star also sticks to a healthy diet which she describes as “clean” and with “loads of fruit, vegetables and lean proteins.”

Kendall also said that the secret to looking good on the runway is lots and lots of sleep! Now that we can do.

“My beauty secret for fashion week is just getting a good amount of sleep. I feel like I at least need about seven hours, eight hours of sleep to function.”

We hear ya, Kendall.

Well, whatever the rising model is doing, it’s working!

Amanda Bynes has found herself in legal hot water again. The actress was arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning on a DUI charge.

Police concluded that she was “driving under the influence of a controlled substance.”

Amanda was stopped by officers when she ran a red light at a junction and then proceeded to stop her car in the middle of the street.

As well as noting that the actress failed sobriety tests at the scene, the police report also mentioned that she had a “dishevelled appearance.”

The Hairspray star was held for $15,000 (€11,820) bail before she was released later on Sunday afternoon.

This isn’t the first time Amanda has been arrested for driving under the influence. She is still on probation for a 2012 charge and is expected to have a final court appearance at the end of October.

The former child star has had a rocky few years. As well a number of bizarre outbursts on social media, Amanda also completed a five-month stint in rehab last year.

Since being released last December, the actress has been open about her efforts to get her life back on track, signing up for fashion design classes in California, regaining her driver’s license and moving back in with her parents.
