Commitment Phobic Men - How to Identify Them

Do you know the importance of identifying commitment phobic men? What impact can commitment phobic men have on you? Why should you avoid such men?

Such men are afraid or do not want to to get into any kind of commitment with a woman, including getting engaged, married and planning for the future. It is always advisable to avoid such men because these men will not stay with you alone and will probably never really love you.

Tip 1: Be true to yourself.

All the proceeding tips will be useless if you aren't true to yourself. If you fall blindly in love with a commitment phobic man, you will probably think that he will change with time, especially when he recognizes how much you love him. This does happen, but only in rare cases. Most of the time, a man who is commitment phobic will remain the same no matter what you do. Therefore think intelligently whether you should have high expectations for him and risk possible heartache.

Tip 2: He says or hints that he doesn't want to commit

If he says that he doesn't want to make a commitment, then it is crystal clear that he is afraid of commitment. There is no need for other proof. Some men may not actually say it, but will hint it. For example he may get anxious, afraid or try to change the subject when you start to talk about getting engaged or married. This is also a strong sign that he is commitment phobic. On the other hand, if he tells you that he will marry you, but there are some issues to be worked out before that, then he may not be a commitment phobic man.

Tip 3: He is not that interested in you

Commitment phobic men don't usually take the trouble to fully understand you. Neither do they care very much about keeping you happy. Therefore they don't spend much time with you. If he is frequently late or cancels dates and appointments with you, he may be commitment phobic. It is always advisable to move away from such a man. Be careful though; he may actually be a busy man whose job requires him to go on sudden business trips. Don't judge such a person as a commitment phobic man. Check his background and see whether there are any valid causes for him to frequently cancel the dates.

Tip 4: Acts as an individual in public

Has he introduced you to his parents and friends as his girlfriend? Or does he pretend to them that you are just another friend? If he doesn't want his friends or parents to know that he is in love with you, then he maybe a commitment phobic man. Commitment phobic men will also try to shield their lovers from the public. If he refuses to hold your hand or give you short kisses in the public, then this may also be a sign.
