Signs of a commitment-phobic man: How to know if he’s ever serious about you
Your boyfriend is not as excited about the prospect of marriage as you are. It’s daunting when you start talking about marriage and he breaks into a sweat and looks uncomfortable. Perhaps you have asked him about it and he has told you that he does not feel ready for such a serious commitment yet or that he feels that he is too young to even think about settling down. You feel lost because you’re not sure when things might change and he might decide that being with you for the long haul is what he really wants. If he’s beginning to wonder if his aversion to the idea of marriage is just a case of coldness or more, there’s a way to tell. There are some signs of a commitment-phobic man that will give you an idea if your man will ever ask that all-important question so you can become his wife.
One of the obvious signs of a commitment-phobic man is that he will change the subject the moment you bring up something more serious than dating. This includes situations where he may be telling his guy that a friend or co-worker is getting married. He doesn’t want any of that and he makes it very clear. He will start talking about something he has nothing to do with once you point out that there was an engagement or that someone is planning a wedding. You can’t miss this as he will be very uncomfortable whenever the topic of engagement comes up.
Another sign that your guy may be afraid of commitment is his inability to make long-term plans with you. These types of men are the ones who don’t want to sign an apartment lease and have absolutely no interest in buying a home or opening a retirement savings account. They live in the moment and will never suggest that the two of you go on vacation in a few months. A man who is afraid of commitment will also avoid the subject of children and will not agree if someone tells him that he would make a great father.
You can also be a bit reckless with your finances. Although it may seem like a stretch to try to associate a man’s financial habits with his desire to commit, they go hand in hand. A man who yearns for a commitment will concentrate on planning the future of his family. On the other hand, a man who does not want to get married will only think of himself and will tend to spend his money as fast as he earns it. Unfortunately, if you’re with a man who doesn’t have any real assets to his name, that probably means he won’t be popping the question anytime soon.
