Head Of Socials Informative and Educative Social Contents Across the World There is absolutely nothing worse than falling for a guy who seems interested, but just won’t commit.
What’s holding him back? Here are seven reasons why he might be afraid of getting serious:
1. He isn’t ready for responsibility
Warning: His immaturity level shows if he isn’t ready for responsibility. He wants to be with you on his own time, rather than commit to you fully. Having the title “boyfriend” or “husband” is scary and he may not be ready for the responsibilities that come with them. If he isn’t ready to be your boyfriend, he isn’t ready for any type of relationship with you in the first place.
2. He is content with his life
It’s a sad fact of dating. He’s happy with the way his life is now and he doesn’t want anything to change. He likes having you around and is fine without putting a label on your relationship.
3. The timing isn’t great
School, life and work are taking up his time and he can’t commit to anything else. He can see you on occasion, but committing to a relationship requires time he just doesn’t have. He doesn’t want the added stress of a relationship.
4. He isn’t quite over his ex
Let’s face it, no matter what he says about his ex-girlfriend, it’s possible he still isn’t over her. He likes you enough to spend a lot of time with you, but he’s held back. His ex-girlfriend is still there in the back of his mind. He won’t take that extra step to commit because he’s still holding out hope that his old flame will walk back into his life.
5. One little thing is holding him back
It could be you remind him of his former girlfriend or he doesn’t like the idea of being with someone who loves the rain. Ultimately, he can’t commit because something is holding him back. It could be small, but he won’t commit to a relationship because of it.
6. He doesn’t want to hurt you
He doesn’t want to risk the chance of hurting you. He’s afraid he might break your heart if you start dating.The very idea of a relationship makes him nervous because he’s afraid it will end badly. It’s an irrational fear, but it’s one that guys (and girls) worry about.
7. There is someone else
Unfortunately, if it’s not his ex, there’s another girl (or multiple girls.) You may not be the only woman in his life. He is playing the field to see exactly who he likes more. It’s an unfair, but common problem. By not committing to you, it means he won’t be held accountable if he texts or spends a lot of time with other girls.
You deserve to be in a relationship where both of you want to spend time together. No matter what the reason, if you man is afraid of commitment, it’s time to find someone who will give you the love you deserve.
