Are you clueless when it comes to how to make a man commit? Do you feel like you have tried everything but to no avail? Would you like a more serious relationship but have no idea how to go about it? Keep reading to find out how you can make a man desire to commit to you.

Enjoy a full life outside of your relationship.

A relationship is made up of two independent people who become interdependent over time. To keep a man's interest and ultimately to get a commitment, you have to stay busy with your own life no matter how much you feel like ignoring the rest of the world. Sometimes it's ok to give into that desire to forget about everyone else and just focus on you and your man. However, you shouldn't make a habit of doing so. When you stay busy and maintain your friendships you will have a support system in the unfortunate event that your relationship doesn't last. It's very hard to start over from square one without any friends to help you through it.

Don't give in to the desperation.

Sometimes when things aren't going the way you would like in a relationship, it's very easy to resort to desperate measures such as begging, pleading, and emotional blackmail. When you feel this, run to a secluded a place and get your composure back. Take a few days if you need to. There's no need to explain any of this to your man. Just tell him you need a little time alone and get as far away as possible so that you don't give into this behavior. This is not an effort to avoid or suppress your emotions. It's simply a way to gather your thoughts and think about the best way to approach the subject at hand without resorting to the tactics of a two year old.

What should you do when a man won't make a commitment?

It can be really hard to walk away when you are in love and feel you have invested a lot of yourself into a relationship. But this could be the best thing for you. You may be missing out on a lot of other opportunities with men who are ready for a real relationship. Only you can determine how long you should wait for a commitment to materialize. This is where you should rely on your objectivity rather than on your emotions. Also you need to be honest with yourself. Sometimes we create false hope simply because the reality that the relationship isn't going anywhere is just too painful.

In summary, to make a man commit you need to maintain your own life, resist desperate measures, and learn when to walk away.
