Do you know how to coax a man into making a commitment? Do you put too much pressure on him or try to demand more from him than he's willing to give? Would you like to find out a better way to get what you need out of the relationship without begging? If you are currently struggling to make a man commit, stop fighting and learn how to gently nudge him in the right direction.

Stop thinking about commitment as a destination, and start thinking of it as a process that takes time and patience to develop. Commitment is based on trust, and it is never a good idea to blindly hand over your trust. You should both be working to earn one another's trust by allowing yourself to be vulnerable with each other a little at a time.

As you are working to build more and more trust, learn to communicate honestly about your expectations for the future. If a man brushes you off or completely avoids discussing the future, try a slightly different approach. Share with him some of your general fears about commitment. Revealing your uncertainty gives him permission to do the same without fear of upsetting you. You may find that you both share some of the same concerns. And obstacles are much easier to overcome when they've been clearly identified. A guy may find that just verbalizing his concerns takes the power.

Keep certain aspects of yourself exclusively for a committed relationship. The obvious one is sex. But there are other things that you should withhold until a man makes a commitment. Dating other men is always an option until he tells you that he is ready for commitment. Knowing that you are either dating other guys or that you have the opportunity to date other guys will drive him crazy. You should also reserve the benefits of cohabitation for commitment. There's no reason you should make a habit of doing his laundry, cleaning up after him, or running his errands for him. You are not his mother or his maid so don't act like either one. You can do these things every once in awhile as a kind gesture but it should not happen often or he will take you for granted.
