Are you afraid of real commitment?

I have no problem committing to a person, as long as it's my commitment to her and not her feeling entitled to obligate and mold me. Ask your potential partner to define commitment rather than assume his definition is the same as yours.
For instance, at this stage of my life, I see no purpose in marriage. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to be her partner for life. Assuming I want a legal complication, if I say I'm committed to her, would probably lead to nothing but frustration and disappointment for both of us.
You are free to pass on any opportunity, but never assume everyone you care about should become clones of you. For the most part, people aren't going to make significant long-term changes for you, just as you're unlikely to make significant long-term changes for them. Never judge people for their preferences, unless you wish to be judged for your preferences. Just as you are incapable of making decisions that make no sense to you from your perspective, neither can anyone else. Show others the consideration and respect you want to receive.
A heart is a wonderful thing & if another heart connects with me I’ll connect with her & commit to a life long relationship if her & I really connect.
I will not commit to marriage, I’m not stupid & that shit isn’t for me.
As for me I’m just looking for that special wonderful someone & although I have never been married I don’t want to get married & hopefully that special wonderful someone understands.
no. commitment and stability is what we all need in life, in any sort of way (not just relationships)

Yeah. Not because I can't because I don't believe most women can. And if she only planning to do this for a couple years. and then look for another guy. I'd rather she just go away. In short for me to commit she's got to convince me she's at least going to try to give "us" a chance.
I’m done committing. Have me as a friend, this far and no further.
Says the three time divorcee…🙄
I’ve committed enough already, to women who took advantage of me. So now I’m paying $60k a year, live in a trailer and only can visit when they want me to. With no record, not even an accusation of abuse. I was too lenient. That was my mistake. NC family law is absolutely brutal against dads, especially if we were in the military. So I just have to sit here and take it while a psychotic woman tries to keep me from my kids.
What I’ve committed was the idiocy of marrying a selfish woman. And I believed her when she said she loved me.
I’m not blaming all women for what she did. And not all men are cheaters nor abusers.
Maybe I just suck at choosing women. So I’m done. A man has got to know his limitations. If I can’t figure women out then I have no business being in another relationship.
I'm not afraid of real commitment with a girl. In fact if I find any interesting, attractive and kind loyal open minded girl I'd marry her because I want to settle with her and start my marriage life with her.
Yes, it's hard to make myself emotionally vulnerable.
In these times yeah. There is to much going on. I can not afford a romantic relation.
No, I'm not afraid of commitment. It's just hard to negotiate!
Commitment, no. The commitment not being mutual, yes.
In terms of relationships, I'm more afraid of responsibility then commitment
I like my independence
I don't want a commitment

Nope
Not at all
