7 Reasons Why Men are Afraid of Commitment

So, you met this charming new guy.

He brings you flowers and chocolates, he smells good, he has an amazing smile, he gives you his time and attention, gives you all the respect a lady deserves, showers you with love.. he’s the guy you’ve been waiting for all your life.

He promises you the moon but he just won’t give you commitment. Rather, he’ll choose to run to the moon at the whisper of the word “commitment” itself.

You keep on wondering what it is that you’re doing wrong that he’s acting like this? Here are the possible reasons why :-

1) He’s not into you enough yet

He may see you as a fun person to date, but never thought of you as someone he’d commit to in the end.
The best thing to do would be to give him some time to sort out his feelings and if still there is no change, girl, you gotta move on.

2) He’s got baggage

It’s possible that he’s had a bad experience with a past girlfriend, or he’s a child of divorce. Unresolved pain in his past can prevent him from committing. In this case, you should be his emotional anchor and make him realize how he’s in safe hands now.

3) He’s afraid it won’t work out

Some people feel that it’s not worth a try unless it’s 100% certain it will work out. But, you can never really be that sure of things, and that unknown keeps some people from committing. You should try communicating this concern and make things work.

4) He still wants to play the field

Once a guy commits, he will lose the chance to date other women. Most guys try to hold on to this opportunity as long as they can, especially when they are not sure what they are looking for. You need to give him an ultimatum; it’s you or the field. He has to make the choice soon enough.

5) He’s got other priorities

In life, it’s tough to balance love, family, work, etc. If there are things in his life that demand more attention than his love life, he’ll commit to the other stuff and deal with love when he can. You need to have an open conversation with him about this and give him time if he asks for it.

6) He is with you just for the sex

Sadly, some guys are just out to bang a whole bunch of women. Usually, if you have a gut feeling that this is the case, you are right.Girl, run for the hills, as far away as possible!

7) You’re pressuring too much to commit

If you continue to bring it up, he may become bitter and annoyed at the whole thought of it. You’d rather him come to the decision to commit naturally on his own, and not because he was pressured to do so anyway.

Sometimes a good relationship ends not because of absence of love but because of lack of commitment. If he won’t commit, he’s just bluffing. Respect yourself enough to go find yourself a better guy.
