Do you ever feel like you’re dating a wishy washy man? One day you’re in a relationship. The next day he isn’t ready to commit. One day he loves you. The next day he wants to take it slow. Why won’t he just seal the deal and commit? And what should you do when you find yourself in this situation? I want to take you into the mind of men and share how they think about commitment. Of course not all men think alike, but after interviewing men over the last 4 years, I’ve watched them open up and share their man secrets. They tell me things they’d never share with you. The truth is, many men are relationship-minded and want marriage, so when they hesitate to commit, there’s a deeper reason. Here are the top 4 reasons that I’ve discovered from my interviews with men: 1) He’s afraid of making the wrong decision. He understands how serious marriage is and doesn’t want to enter in to it lightly. Even if he’s never been married before, he may hesitate because he wants to be sure he’s making the right choice. 2) He hasn’t gotten over the last person who broke his heart. If there’s one thing I know for sure, men hate rejection. Fear of rejection is just one reason why a man might not commit fully to you, especially if he’s been through bad breakups in .the past. 3) He likes you, but he thinks he “might” be able to find someone he likes better. Online dating has created this illusion of endless options for singles (even though you and I both know online dating is tough!) So even if a man likes you, he may think there’s someone a little bit better around the corner. 4) He likes things the way they are. If you’ve been waiting for a ring for three years or more, chances are your man is comfortable with your relationship the way it is. Because you haven’t left, he assumes you are happy too! If you’re dating someone who won’t commit the issue isn’t with you. It’s all about what’s going on in his head and heart. You can be the best girlfriend–nurturing, attentive, loving, and supportive–but it won’t matter.He may know logically that you’re a great catch, but in his heart he’s unsure. When the head and heart conflict, the heart always wins! What to do when he won’t commit: 1. Some of the reasons men won’t commit can be overcome with patience. You may be ready for marriage after a year of dating but he needs a little more time. 2. Other times you may need to create a little distance in the relationship so he realizes what he’ll miss if he doesn’t commit to you. For example, he shouldn’t get exclusive access to your time if he’s not going to commit to dating you exclusively. 3. Finally, if a committed relationship is what you want, don’t be afraid to ask for it. If he’s serious about you, he shouldn’t be surprised when you have “The Talk,” and he’ll step up. If he doesn’t, then it’s a sign that it’s time for you
