6 Reasons why men are afraid of relationships

Often we wonder the reason why men are afraid of relationships or put in a better way, commitment-phobic. You don’t really want to waste your time and energy with somebody who is not ready to label things. It is a little difficult to understand why guys don't want to commit and we often break our heads replaying each scenario trying to figure out how or why things went wrong. Commitment phobia in men can be a result of many reasons that are deeper than what meets the eye. From lack of trust to lack of maturity and from fearing an end to freedom to not wanting to fall in love. Here are 6 reason why men resist commitment or is afraid of relationships.

Fear of becoming exclusive

Once a guy commits, he will lose his chance to date other women aka he will be ‘off-the-field’. Most men would want to hold on to this golden opportunity as long as they can. Once they are in a relationship, they have to become exclusive to one woman emotionally, physically and sexually and it is an uncomfortable thought to some guys out there, especially for the ones who have never committed to a girl before.

The bitter memories of the past

Red alert! He has got baggage. It is possible that he's had a bad and regretful past with an ex or maybe he's just a victim of divorce. Also, this may have tarnished the trust front for him.The haunting memories and the hurtful fall outs could be the reason why he is not a relationship person anymore.

Afraid that it won't work out

Relationships and commitments involve risk and bit of spontaneity. It requires you to put all 100% into the relationship for it to work. Some people believe that it is not worth it unless it is CERTAIN it will last and work out right.

He’s got other priorities

It is in fact slightly tricky to balance love, family, work, etc. in life. If he feels that things other than love life deserves and demands more attention, then he might just decide to deal with love when he can.

Don’t wanna grow-up already

Committing means ‘growing up’ to some guys. A lot of us want to delay the whole process of growing up for as long as possible. Commitment is a sign of maturity, a guy may not actually be afraid of commitment rather he may just not be mature enough to accept commitment.

You’re pushing him too much to commit

Last but not the least, if he's going to commit, give him some time to let him come to that moment on his own. It can be a little annoying and bitter if you continue to pester him about it. You'd rather let him come to the decision to commit naturally on his own and not because he was pressured to do so anyway.

At the end of the day, he DOESN'T want to commit? His loss. Find yourself a man who appreciates you so much that he won't hesitate to take it to the next level.
