When you know, you know. Only you can really answer these questions for yourself. The guy I'm dating now, we've been together for 5 months. When we first started dating, I really wasn't sure, but he is a really nice guy so I was just honest with him. I told him straight out, I think you are a nice guy and I really like hanging out with you and talking to you, but I'm not sure if I'm really into you yet. He really liked me, so he was willing to be patient. We kept the lines of communication open the whole time, checked in with each other and made sure we knew how each other was feeling. After seeing each other for a couple months, we were able to have a more serious conversation about commitment.

I'm still pretty freaked out about commitment in general, and he's totally ok with it. He even said to me, I get that I'm more into you than you are at me, and for now, I'm ok with that. Basically, the whole point I'm trying to make, is keep talking to him and in time you will know what you need and want to do.
