Will He Ever Want a Committed Relationship? 3 Signs He Might

Here's how you know.

Of all the questions I'm asked, the one subject that gets more attention than anything else is whether or not a man will ever come around and commit.

Will he ever want a committed relationship?

There is just so much fear around this subject.

We're afraid that as soon as we leave, as soon as we decide to let go and move on, he will come around and want that committed relationship, and we will miss the kind of relationship with him we'd been waiting and holding on for so long for.

I remember having this exact feeling; I was just so sure that if I gave up waiting, if I let go of holding on and hanging around waiting for him to finally see the light, it would be at that exact time that he would be ready and I would miss out on everything I'd been waiting for!

First of all, let's set the record straight. If he were to come around and suddenly be ready to commit to you (and that's a huge if) and you had just left him, he would chase you. There's no way a man in love and ready to have a committed relationship with you is going to let you just walk away if he's made that decision, or is very close to making that decision.

3 Ways to Know He's a Keeper

A beautiful woman holding up three fingers indicating 3 signs he's a keeper.
These 3 things better be at the top of your "must have" list.

All too often we overlook the three most important essentials of a real relationship.

Looking back, these seem so obvious to me, but it wasn’t so clear back when I was dating.

Of all the qualities I was looking for in a guy, of all my “must haves” on my quest for finding my own Mr. Right, I didn’t pay nearly enough attention to the three things that I now realize are what actually really matter.

We all have our own lists of “must haves”, but these three should be at the top of everyone’s list.Continue Reading

Why Won't He Commit? 7 Things You Can Do to Move Things Along

A beautiful woman on a pier with her boyfriend in the background, upset because he won't commit.
What do I do to make him want what I want?

There’s a very common scenario that seems to happen to all of us at one time or another, and sometimes over and over again.

We end up in a relationship with a guy that has tons of potential, IF he would just commit!

And the dilemma is always - how long to wait it out to see if he truly IS going to come around?  Or are we just wasting our time? Or, what if you've finally had enough, and decide to move on right before he was about to come around?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions because we are such a hopeful group.  The bottom line is that what we’re really asking is how do we know if he’ll ever commit?

When I was doing some soul searching on this subject, I realized that this was my own number one reason for being single as long as I was. I wasted so much time and energy - especially time – waiting. Waiting for a guy to come around. Waiting and waiting for him to commit.Continue Reading

Shallow

For me, it was all about the kind of car he drove.
For me, it was all about the kind of car he drove.

Cars.

El Caminos.  Corvettes. You name it.

I have a confession to make. I was really really shallow when it came to what kind of car a guy drove.

Like it was a deal breaker.

Crazy, I know, but it was. For some reason, it just really mattered. Like the guy who drove the El Camino.

You know, that half-car, half-pickup truck contraption that must have been popular at one time or another.

Well, it wasn’t in the nineties when I went on a date with a guy who drove one of those, and while he was attractive and charming and had a number of other great qualities, he, well, he had that car.Continue Reading

You're OK, He's OK – Just Not For Each Other

A beautiful woman is mad at her boyfriend standing in the background facing away because he won't commit or doesn't want a committed relationship from her
Will he ever want a commitment?

I know. It’s hard to hear it.

We want it to work so badly.

It’s got all the makings of a real relationship if he were ready to commit.

But that’s the thing. He’s not and you are. And that’s why it’s over before it even begins.

I know, you’re thinking if you just give it some time, he’ll come around. But I’ve been right where you are enough times to know that it doesn’t get any better.

Really.

As much as you want to believe it, it’s really not worth the time to find out if it might by some remote chance turn around. It usually just gets worse.Continue Reading
