Dating someone means you’re seeing that person
specifically, with purpose and on a regular basis. This indicates that a level
of commitment is required from both parties who are dating.
So what happens when you find yourself in a relationship
with a commitment-phobe? What’s a commitment-phobe you ask?
A commitment-phobe is a person who fears to give commitment
to his/her love life. Commitment-phobes have various reasons for avoiding
commitments.
Honestly, dating a commitment-phobe will most likely “end in tears”. But with the right conversation, dating a commitment-phobe could lead to a positive end. In this article, we highlight some signs to know if you’re dating a commitment-phobe. While some of these may describe a commitment-phobe, they may also describe a partner who isn’t serious to take a relationship seriously.
Without further ado, some giveaways to identify a
commitment-phobe:
They Keep Secrets And Are Elusive
If you’re dating someone who doesn’t talk about themselves
or avoids doing so, there’s a chance they are scared of committing to a
relationship with you.
They may never talk about where they are or what they are
doing and in some cases and may never let you in on the basic things in their
lives. Does this describe the person you’re dating? Then you’re probably dating
a commitment-phobe.
Worse, if the person you’re dating always picks out the
meeting points for your dates, then possibly, they may be avoiding going out of
their way to spend time with you and would rather meet at places convenient for
them.
They Don’t Promise Things
If you’re dating someone who has never promised you anything
or offered an act of service or kindness, like accompanying you to an event or
helping you pick out something, they may very well have issues committing.
They Always Mention That The Relationship Is Casual
If you date someone who constantly reminds you that your
relationship is only casual, then they might have a fear of commitment.
They may say they aren’t looking for anything serious
because they are “working on themselves” or that they are trying to focus on
their career etc.
In addition to saying these, they’ll always find a way to
get out of being committed to a relationship and would rather just casually
date based on purely or mostly sex.
They Avoid Confrontation Or Discussing Serious Things
A commitment-phobe would most likely avoid discussing
important matters in a relationship. They’d also always find a way to get out
of any confrontation.
So if you’re dating someone who finds it difficult
confronting conflict, they might also have commitment-phobia.
They Hardly Show True Affections In The Relationship
If the person you’re dating hardly shows their affections to
you, then they might have commitment fears. A commitment-phobe would most
likely stop themselves from displaying any affections for their partners.
They’ll never or hardly be interested in anything concerning
their partner other than sex. While this is the harsh reality, this is the
predicted behaviour of a commitment-phobe.
