Are you a commitment-phobe?

It’s not just some bachelors that have a fear of committing to relationships; women are just as likely to enjoy their single life and refuse to allow a relationship to develop. This can be down to wanting to focus on a career, not needing a man to define them, the result of a past broken relationship, they haven’t met the right person to have a relationship with or maybe just the word “forever” terrifies them.

You meet guys and go on dates, but you have a history of short relationships. The reason for this is because at the first hint of things becoming serious, you’re out of there. Your excuse is that you “haven’t found the right person”.

Rather than allow a relationship develop, you become similar to Kate Hudson’s screen character in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 days”. You go out of your way to sabotage things and turn into the-crazy-nightmare-to-deal-with-girl, just to avoid getting closer.

It’s not that you aren’t interested in guys. You love the thrill of the chase and the role of the ‘huntress’, but the only problem is that you leave an array of bruised and ego bashed men in your wake. There are so many guys out there, you couldn’t commit to just one. You like to keep things interesting.

After a few dates, you dodge the phone calls and messages about when you’re next free. If something is begrudgingly planned, you’re prone to back out, informing the guy you’re stuck at work, have a family emergency or the first thing that comes to you. In desperate times, you’ll turn you phone off altogether.

If you find yourself in some form of relationship, the ones with little commitment that allows you to retain your independence are the ones you’ll happily accept. A long distance relationship would give you the best of both worlds. You will have your cake, and you will eat it.

You have an extensive social group and would prefer to surround yourself with friends. The friends who have settled down are boring in your eyes. That life just isn’t for you and the saying “men come and go, but friends are always there” certainly rings true
