Why is it so difficult for some men to be honest and make a commitment?

Yes I agree, its Bullshit. I'm a man, and know many, and like 90% of us are full of it. Some of its biology, some of it is upbringing, alot of it is societal pressure and influence, in my opinion. In the end, most of the guys you are most likely, not attracted to, are the guys you would find would commit. Its about humility. Humility tames the biological urge to cheat, or the learned act of disrespecting women. Humility acts as a shield against friends who would steer you towards a "hot" girl or the ego boost you feel afterward. Men who are humble are honest, and maybe ugly. :)

Guys tend to take a longer time to commit.  They need more than a month.  Perhaps he wants to commit too, but doesn't want to say anything.  Watch the way he acts around you when you are alone and when you are with other people.  If he remains the same when he is with you alone and with others, than perhaps he's wanting this to be long term as well.  If you can't be patient than talk to him.  Ask him how he feels about your relationship, and ask him to be honest.  Has he ever committed before?  That is perhaps the best way to know if he'll commit.  If he's done it before than he can do it again.  Don't throw your chance with him away to quickly, just give it alittle more time, and you will find your answers

Some guys will,but others are too "shy" to do so. They are afraid of rejection or seeming weak because they admitted their feelings. It makes them vulnerable and they don't like it.

To tell you the truth, we have to be, we can't let our true feelings or emotions surface. If we do then were not considered stong, rather, people see a man do this and seem to lose respect for him. It's the world, even you ladies find it bad if we do any thing of the sort. And believe me, when it comes to us gentlemen, we pay the price for it.

There might be different reasons. One is that they might think you won't find out about those little things, thus missing the point of the importance of being honest. Another is that they are afraid of ruining their image before their girlfriends, which shows immaturity.\n\nThe list goes on and on, but you better figure it out from personal experience.

I guess its cos they're afraid to get tied down & loose their freedom. But really the truth is if you find the right person you dont feel any fear at all. All you want is to be with that person whatever it takes. So in a way if your man doesnt seem to be willing to commit it shows the depth of his feelings for u.

It's the thrill of the Hunt that drives most men.\n\nIt's like that feeling you get at the beginning of a relationship where everything is new and undiscovered. There's no bigger rush.\n\nIt's a shame men feel they have to lie though. A lot of lasses I know would happily go along with a fun night out and a bit of 'pash' at the end of it. Perhaps it's their fragile egos.

Men have been succeeding in relationships for centuries. The ones that don't get all the bad press.  When it does happen it is most likely because they have not had a good example of a long term lasting relationship to pattern them selves on. Why the good ones go unnoticed is a question too.\ntake care ~A~

not all men are weak, they are just unsure how to say what they feel, men's emotions don't mature for many years beyond what their bodies do.

It all depends on the guy. Does he seem like he is open to discussing things like that? If you aren't sure, maybe ask him a question that's similar but not as serious and see how he responds. It is definately your right to ask about commitment, but he may not be exactly happy about talking. It depends on what kind of relationship you two currently have and what kind of person he is...

sounds like he cant make up his mind what he wants. sometimes you have to bury the hatchet and ask the hard questions, and if he hides it will not be the first time

Men are clueless as to what they want, they themselves wishes that someone could tell them, and even if someone did, would they listen, NO, Why? Because they are self opiniated and listen to noone, Its an ego thing.\nWhen we find a good man, you just have to thank all the gods and angels in heaven and on earth.  In the meantime, keep the hope alive and when you come across a loser/liar show them the way to SanJose, better known as hell.

Most men prefer to be the ones who propose. I know women who asked the question and the men were all feeling a little less manly for that... They were all "I wanna be the one who asks..." \nGo figure!

Honestly men are divided even amongst themselves on this matter. For example, many are out for the one night stand... they are very easy to spot by BOTH sexes. Then there are the "I'm not sure I want a relation" guy who teases and then when it comes to the moment of truth, they flake. Then there are the type that just loves YOU... the feeling that you give when you talk seriously, when you smile.... and this is a killer... being you and standing for what you believe... being a woman. Of course we men are programmed to go wherever the opportunity is... but trust me when I write that there is a small percentage of us who dream and wish for a real woman to come our way and be our life partner.

They simply say this statement because they want to keep you holding on to their balls but really they are afraid of commitment and don't want to let you know because they know they will lose you. I think if they flirt and talk to other women though, you should not distrust them. I think flirting is nature and I don't care what anyone says, everyone does it from time to time. So go out there and do it in front of him and see what he has to say about it.

Not all guys have the same mind-set.Man with a good maturity level or a civic mind-set wont be jealous to easily.

I'm going through the same thing. In my opinion men who are afraid of commitment and also afraid of losing a great woman send very mixed signals. Once it starts to interfere with the quality of your life, you need to let go and move on. Maybe standing for your values will open his eyes, maybe not.
