COMMITMENT ISSUES


The tweet above immediately caught my attention because I couldn’t have said it better myself. Yet, I’m going to attempt to do so in the blog post below. Let me start by saying, men are simple. It is usually the woman that over complicates things by ignoring signs, then become frustrated when those same signs slap them across their face. Several women often wonder why men won’t commit, not realizing that they are the problem and the solution. If a man is not committing to you, it’s because your actions have shown him that he doesn’t have to. Why would he settle down with you when it’s clear that you are willing to a settle for a situationship? I’ve been in my fair share of fauxmances, and have picked up on some commonalities among men. Most men center their lives around the word “good”. That’s right, even the bad boys, are searching for their Proverbs 18:22 good thing. Give a man good food, that good-good, and a good girl that is good at stroking his ego and he’s good to go. So if you’re a good girl, and all the other goodies are being met, why is the man still holding off on commitment? It’s because your actions have caused him to believe that him putting forth effort is unnecessary. If you’ve been dating for several months and he still hasn’t given you the relationship title that you want, why are you still dating him? Ladies, we need to learn when to bow out gracefully. Here’s a tip from my book, Situationship Guru, “Make Him Give You A Title, Or Make Yourself Unavailable.”

There are two types of men in the world, Some will say, “I got you” , while others will say, “I got you right where I want you”.  The “I got you” man will provide for you and protect you at all costs. They will take care of your needs and have your best interest at the forefront of their mind. While, the “I got you right where I want you” type of man, thrives off getting by with the bare minimum. He may be fond of you but doesn’t have any long term use for you. Men will either play with you or they will pay for you. When I say, pay for you, I’m not suggesting that you can be bought. However, what I am saying, is “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Think about it, besides rent/mortgage, where do you spend most of your money? Is it on clothing, shoes, perfume, travel or other high end experiences? Why do you spend money on those things? They are important to you, right? It’s the same thing with men. If he is not spending his money or time on you, you do not have his heart.

For those of you who like the learn the hard way, please realize that you can’t trick him into wifing you. If he doesn’t think you are the one, there’s nothing that you can do to change his mind. If he hasn’t taking you off the market, it’s because he doesn’t think you are worth the price. Why continue to entertain someone who feels like you belong on the clearance rack? My advice is to leave as soon as you realize that you are not the same page regarding relationships. However, my closure seeking sistas will feel the need to give men one more chance to choose them by asking questions such as, “So, what are we? or “Where is this thing going?”. If you have to ask those questions, you probably already know the answer. If you don’t, let me give you a hint, the answers are Nothing and Nowhere.
