Dating & Relationships: Signs He May Be Commitment Phobic

Hannah
Most women either have no clue about what signs to look for, or they do know and don't want to see them. Well, for the ones that aren't willing to get their heart broken by the notorious "Commitment Phobic" here are some signs to look for.

He Leaves Right After Sex-

Oh boy, this is the biggest sign of all. The minute you are done with having sex he can't run out of the door quick enough. If you're at his place he will let you know he has to go to sleep to get up early for work, and will get a better night's sleep alone. He' trying to tell you although I don't mind being close to you in bed, don't expect too much in the relationship department.

He Never Says He Love You-

You don't have to be the brightest bulb in the package to figure this one out. However, most women don't. We are hopeless romantics that just know deep in our heart he will say it any day now. So we wait, and we wait, and we wait. All of a sudden any day now turns into years, and you have no commitment, no wedding ring, no family, and no future. Stop waiting, he's not likely to get over his phobia anytime soon.

He Doesn't Want To Meet Your Family-

Since the beginning of time meeting someone's family has always screamed "Commitment". He will probably make every excuse in the book why he doesn't want to meet them, just yet. The just yet is for your benefit so you will wait for maybe sometime soon., which is just as bad as, not just yet. Either way, he probably just wants to only let one person down when he leaves, just you, instead of, all of them. Find a man who's excited about meeting your family and hearing all those wonderful, embarrassing stories they're going to tell when they meet him!

Marriage Is An Institution and He's Not Crazy-

This is a popular one. He always has a lot to say about the "Institution" of marriage, but oddly enough, he's never been married. I guess that's because he's commitment phobic. The more he runs down what marriage is about, the more phobic he is. Let's face it, marriage is what you make it, and no piece of paper is in control. The two people who are in love and committed to each other are. So basically what I'm saying is he's full of crap, and just doesn't want to be committed to a relationship. The stuff he goes on and on about is just a diversion to keep you off guard. My feeling is If I'm not good enough to marry, he's not good enough for me!

He Runs Off Every Time You Argue-

I love this one. I personally went through this with a commitment phobic. Every time we had an argument he would run off to his Mom and Dad's. It drove me crazy. He would stay for anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. Yes, I said weeks. How are you supposed to work out anything if he's not there to do it with you? The point is you can't. These types of phobics can't even commit to jointly as a couple, finding a solution to a problem. That's pretty bad if you ask me. Never mind he obviously hasn't cut the apron strings to his Mom and Dad.

There you have it, some of the signs that the love of your life may be "Commitment Phobic". All I can say is at my age I'm not willing to wait around for someone to make up their mind if they want me, and a relationship. It's your call, but remember, time is one thing you can't buy back!
