I used to think it was BS but now, I'm not sure especially after my last break up!
Can guys really be just not ready for a relationship?

Yes, guys can just really not be ready for a relationship. A lot of the times 2 people will like each other a lot and think "Oh we should go out because we like each other so much, why not?". This is a logical way of thinking about it, but it is a heat of the moment kind of logic. When you are having strong feelings for a guy or girl, you aren't thinking about how the relationship is going to work, you are thinking about how can I start the relationship. Take my last relationship as an example. My ex and I were always together when we had time before we had even started going out, but she was going to be going to a different college about 4 hours away in about 8 months, so I was hesitant to ask her out. I took my time to think about it and found that was ready for a relationship with her and thought we had the potential to stay together while she was away. So we begin to go out and all of a sudden she starts thinking about what is going to happen when she moves.. I thought to myself "Why didn't she think of this before we started a relationship?" Supposedly she didn't think I would want to stay with her because I hadn't been in that may relationships before her. I found this entertaining for the fact that she was homeschooled until she graduated high school and had only been out in the real world for one semester of college. But anyways so she had low self esteem issues and just broke up with me without really discussing anything with me.
See she wasn't ready for a relationship at that moment, but because we had such strong feelings for each other to start, she made a heat of the moment decision. She was so relieved to have finally found someone that wanted to be her boyfriend that she didn't take the time to think of the outcomes of the relationship. All she knew is that she wanted to be in one. Same thing applies for guys. You just have to take the time to think about these things before you start a relationship, even if it means putting it off until you are completely ready.
I don't know! A guy I really liked recently said this to me and I maybe rather foolishly wrote it off as BS thinking that he led me on!! I mean we were dating, in a sexual relationship & then all of a sudden he's not ready! I'm just starting to think I was wrong to think it was BS! He insisted we should be friends, I said impossible in not the greatest of ways & feeling bad later apologised! he responded immediately... I'm just confused but thanks for the input!!
Yes! I'm not ready for a relationship at this moment. I'm dating a girl but at the moment I'm not really ready for someone to be in my life every day. I don't feel like reporting to anyone on where I'm going or what I'm doing. At the moment I enjoy my freedom. And at this point in my life I can't really say that will change any time soon.
Can I just ask? Do you really like the girl or do you find yourself not really liking anyone that much because you know you aren't ready??
Well I I can't really say... I mean at the moment I don't have "that loving feeling" I mean she is fun to hangout with, but I don't feel anything more. at this point in my life I'm afraid I will never have that feeling again. It kinda makes me sad, but maybe one day it will hit me again. Although, when ever it has hit me in the past it never really worked out. I can't make myself love someone and I really don't want to settle. Do I really like he like how? I'm still open to meet new people
I think it's completely feasible to not be ready. In fact, I applaud you for realizing this. A lot of people will get into relationships before they are ready to be in one and end up in a disaster. Sometimes we are not ready because we are still healing from our last relationship, other times our schooling or work load is just too demanding for a relationship at the moment and yet there are some people who need to sort out their lives before taking on a relationship. Thank you for realizing this.
"A lot of people will get into relationships before they are ready to be in one and end up in a disaster"
I agree to a point. This most often happens in high school but beyond that you have to know yourself first and know the other person and really the interest has to still be there in order for it to work out. IMHO.
otherwise, why waste your time?
well, it all depends on the person.
they might not be mature enough for a relationship..
but then again,
my aunt says that guys don't really mature till 30+
if they ever do x)!
he also might have not ben the right one for you.
you will find someone though:) who wants to be with you, and who you want to be widdd.
Most guys never are ready because deep down inside they still enjkoy the freedom of being single. no drama or worries and still not sure what they are lookin for in a girl.

Yes, but for different reasons. Some men say ti to avoid the hassle. Some have the intuition to recognize the damage they might cause to something they would wish to preserve. There is no satisfactory answer to this question. You have to gauge the way he tells you to determine which is the source of his fear.
Of course they can, it takes just as long for guys to get over break ups as it does for women. Everyone gets over stuff at a different rate, it's not anything to worry about, or any knock against the new significant other, its just something that needs time to fix. If a girl said that to me, I would completely understand.
Yes, in my case, I just don't want to be hurt in a relationship. I don't want my heart and my trust to be broken. I feel that being single gives me my freedom.
But yes, there are different reasons why guys can't be in a relationship.
It's totally BS. He is just not that into you ! Trust me.
