Signs of a Commitment Phobic Man - How to Know if He'll Ever Be Serious About You

Your boyfriend isn't as thrilled with the prospect of marriage as you are. It's disheartening when you start talking about marriage and he starts to sweat and look uncomfortable. Perhaps you've asked him about it and he's told you that he just doesn't feel ready for such a serious commitment yet or he feels he's too young to even think about settling down. You feel at a loss because you're unsure of when things may change and he might decide that being with you in the long term is what he truly wants. If you're starting to question whether his aversion to the idea of marriage is just a case of cold feet or more, there's a way to tell. There are some signs of a commitment phobic man that will allow you to gain some insight into whether your man is ever going to pop that all important question so you can become his wife.

One of the signs of a commitment phobic man that is glaringly obvious is he'll change the subject the moment you even mention anything more serious than dating. This includes situations in which you may be telling your guy that a friend or co-worker is getting married. He doesn't want to know about it and he makes that very clear. He'll start talking about something completely unrelated once you point out that an engagement took place or someone is planning a wedding. You can't miss this as he'll be very uncomfortable whenever the subject of commitment pops up.

Another of the signs your guy may be afraid of commitment is his inability to make any long term plans with you. These types of men are the ones who don't want to sign a lease on an apartment and have absolutely no interest in buying a home or starting a retirement savings account. They live in the moment and will never suggest that the two of you go on vacation a few months from now. A man who is fearful of commitment will also shy away from the subject of children and he'll disagree if anyone ever tells him that he'd be a great father.

He may also be a bit reckless with his finances. Although it may seem a stretch to try and associate a man's financial habits with his desire to commit, they do go hand-in-hand. A man who craves a commitment will be focused on planning for the future of his family. On the other hand, a man who doesn't want to get married will only think of himself and will tend to spend his money as quickly as he earns it. Sadly, if you're with a man who doesn't have any real assets to his name that probably means he's not going to pop the question anytime soon.
