Why men are afraid to commit

Why are men afraid to commit? Is there something in men that make them shy away from all kinds of responsibility? It may seem so, especially if you've gone through several relationships that didn't work out. But it isn't always that simple -- there are many reasons why a man doesn't feel like committing just yet. Here are some of them.
#1 - They can't find a reason to settle down with you.
Remember that there are people out there who enter the dating game only for the fun of it. They simply go into the scene to meet new people and make new friends, but not necessarily get into a relationship with anyone just yet. This may be the reason why he's a little reluctant to discuss the long-term with you. At this point, you have two options. First, you can play along and keep meeting other men, having fun in the process. Second, you can show him that settling down with you will be ultimately better for him than if he kept dating other women. More on this later.
#2 - They're still trying to get their act together.
Have you ever experienced being in a relationship where everything started out well, but once you got serious, he suddenly started becoming distant and less available? This can drive many women crazy, and the more bitter ones may go ahead and think that men are just in it for the sex. Actually, it may not be the case. When a guy starts thinking about committing, he becomes more focused on other things, such as his career. Why? Simply because he's trying to make sure that he can provide for you and the family he's going to raise in the future. So don't shoot yourself in the foot by nagging, complaining, and begging him for more attention!
#3 - You're doing something wrong.
You've probably also noticed that the more you try to talk to him about your problems in the relationship, the less he seems interested. You may only want to talk about a certain problem or ask for more attention -- but as innocent as it may sound, it's still bringing negative vibes into the relationship. And no one really likes being in a relationship where problems and bad feelings are on top of the agenda.
As mentioned before, you can do the exact opposite and instead show him that committing to you is actually a good thing. The easiest way to do this is by simply being different from all the other women he meets. Be optimistic instead of a nervous wreck. Listen as much as you talk. And always keep the relationship interesting.
The better he feels in the relationship, the more likely he'll think about staying with you for the long-term
