Even if you are head over heels in love with a woman and you can seriously imagine yourself being with her for a long time, it's still pretty likely that you are going to get some moments where it seems like you are hesitant to make a commitment to her. There are plenty of valid reasons for being somewhat fearful of committing to a woman. Namely, there is the stark reality that plenty of relationships fizzle out even when they start off seeming to be pretty hot and pretty solid. Then, there is the natural reaction that men seem to have where they just kind of feel like they are not so sure that they are ready to make a decision like that.
Here are 5 pretty common reasons why men fear committing to a woman. You might see that some, all or even none apply to you.
1) You are fearful of the fact that most relationships come to and end.
You don't even have to get started on the divorce statistics to see this. Most relationships will come to an end. After all, you can't end up marrying and lasting with every woman that you have ever dated, right? It's easy to see why a man would be apprehensive about making a commitment if he is well aware of the fact that most relationships come to and end at some point in time. Though, you may want to remind yourself that you only really have to get it right just once.
2) You still feel like you have some wild oats to sew.
This is a really common reason for why men are not ready to make a commitment. You feel like there is still some fun left in you yet, and you would love to be able to see what else is out there. You might want to remind yourself, though, what being single was really like. Plenty of guys will have a boring social life, meet a woman that likes them and have a relationship with that woman, then act like they forgot just how boring their social life was before she came into the picture. Sometimes, the idea of being single is more attractive than the reality of it.
3) There have been times when you weren't quite sure that your girlfriend was totally faithful.
This is another reason why you might be unsure about making any kind of long term plans with a woman. If you have seen clues that she might not be totally faithful to you, then it would stand to reason that it is a good thing that you are not feeling like you want to rush things with her. The fact of the matter is, if you have your doubts about her being faithful to you, then you may want to really wait things out a bit and see if those doubts are unfounded, or if they have some basis in reality.
4) You are not used to living with someone else.
Committing to a woman usually implies the fact that you are going to be spending a lot of time with her, even moving in with one another. That can be hard to even imagine if you have grown accustomed to living on your own and not having to think about sharing a living space with someone else. It does not have to be that bad, but it is understandable if that is the reason why you are not sure about making a commitment to your girlfriend just yet.
5) You are just feeling a temporary case of cold feet.
And this is the thing that happens to most men, even when they are kind of happy about the idea of taking things to the next level with the woman that they are dating. They get a proverbial case of cold feet and that is something that you can get over. You may want to take some time to talk to your girlfriend to see if she is having any of the same feelings that you are having. You may get a surprise and find out that she feels some of the same feelings that you do. And you might be able to get over that case of cold feet rather quickly if you communicate how you feel to her.
