5 Signs You’re A Commitment-Phobe

It’s important for a guy to understand that when a relationship begins to get serious, women tend to expect the two of you to become exclusive and start planning a future together.

However, if you always find reasons to back away and sabotage a good relationship once your partner begins asking for a little more, it’s a safe bet that you suffer from commitment-phobia and a deep fear of intimacy. Here are 5 signs that you’re a commitment-phobe.

1. You only respond to sexual contact

You regularly ignore texts, calls and emails from your girlfriend suggesting dinner, a movie night, or time with her family and friends, yet you reply consistently to anything sexual i.e., hints towards sleeping together, dirty text messages, etc…This behavior shows women that the only thing on your mind is having fun with no-strings-attached sex.

2. You constantly flirt with other women 

Constantly flirting with other women and/or getting caught staring at other women when you’re in a relationship is a big sign that you’re not ready for a commitment. Guys like this usually have a history of infidelity.

3. You become distant for no reason

You begin spending less and less time with your girlfriend (and don’t really mind the time apart) although nothing is wrong in your relationship.This might be a sign that you’re drifting away due to your fear of commitment.

4. You look down on serious or married couples

You often find yourself talking badly about men who are married, or who are taking care of children. Being turned off by the idea of family is a pretty good sign that you don’t care much for a deep commitment with a woman and would rather be alone.

5. You lose interest when things get serious

You love the chase but not the capture and often use the excuse that you haven’t found the right woman yet. You have a history of brief, passionate relationships that end fairly quickly and you’re quick to blame the former girlfriends for the breakups.
