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

561 Comments

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

Healthy Relationships: How to Know if Yours Is

Leave a Comment

A beautiful woman holds her head questioning if she's in a healthy relationship.
Am I even in a healthy relationship?

I've often heard the question - how do you know if the relationship you’re in is a healthy one? 

It’s a timeless question, one that I’m sure has been asked by women just like us many times over the past millennia.

At some point in our lives, we find ourselves questioning whether or not it’s worth hanging around a little longer to see if things are going to pan out the way we’d like them to. Or whether it’s time to let it go, because it’s just not going anywhere – at least not anywhere in the direction you want it to go in.

And while sometimes it’s pretty clear when you take a step back and look at it objectively, more often it’s a heavily gray area that requires some real soul searching to figure out what’s going on. Continue Reading

The Worst Thing You Can Do When He Hasn't Called

348 Comments

Attractive young woman awaits a phone call. wondering why he hasn't called.
I haven't heard from him - what should I do?

Last month we discussed the reasons he hasn’t called.

Since then, I've gotten a lot of questions about dating protocol regarding whether we should go ahead and call him or wait it out and see if he comes around.

It got me thinking about this topic and what’s really going on with this whole should I call him?, how long should I wait before it’s ok to call him?, etc.

Why do we put so much of our energy into trying to figure out this simple decision?

Because it has such implications.

Or does it? Does it really matter if we call him or not call him?

Of all the things I remember from my single days, that’s probably one of the most memorable; the “do I or don’t I call him” conundrum.Continue Reading

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

17 Comments

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
