Do guys really hate to commit?
Do guys really hate to commit? I am not so sure about that, ladies. When it comes to dating, it may simply be a difference in expectations.
When some guys (especially teen guys) see what is labeled as a “committed relationship,” they don’t like what they see: spending most of your free time together, not being able to have friends of the opposite sex, having to “check-in” with their girlfriend, as well as having to always prove your feelings for a girl are much of what they see. This is a picture that brings a lot of pressure, constraints, and even may look like he’s getting a second mom, and NO ONE wants that!
Another problem with commitment that was personally frustrating was when a girl automatically thought a relationship was exclusive just because we were talking with each other or had been on a date. Ladies, that can be solved with a conversation about the nature of the relationship. Guys enjoy commitment, but only if they know what they are getting into. Have you ever seen the passion with which some of the guys at your school participate in school sports? To be part of a team takes commitment, and guys get that! Talk up front about your expectations for a relationship. It could save you from a nasty stereotype about men and help you to have more realistic expectations for relationships.
