Does your man get uncomfortable when you bring up the subject of making a commitment? Do you want to know how to make this topic less scary for him? Are you unsure about how to approach the subject with him? Are you afraid you will scare him away? If you are uncertain about the future of your relationship, and you need some help making him commit, try this common sense approach.

Express the way you feel while being receptive to how he feels

The subject of commitment is not an easy topic for most men. Contrary to what you may have heard, it is fine to talk to a man about commitment if you go about it the right way. First, you need to be realistic about the timing. If you've only known a man a short period of time, don't expect him to be enthusiastic about the topic. He's probably going to feel like you are rushing things a bit.

If you've been dating exclusively for awhile and you think things are headed that direction, but you are not sure, then it's natural to want to find out what he's thinking. Just be up front with him about your expectations and let him know that you are open to receiving what he has to say even if it is not what he knows you want to hear. This gives you the opportunity to find out what may be holding him back from making a commitment. Depending on his answer, you can then decide whether it's worth sticking out or whether you need to move on.

Become his biggest fan

It is comforting to a man to know that there is someone on his side. Sometimes men can feel isolated when life is stressful or things aren't working out the way they had planned. Be the woman that cheers him on no matter what obstacles he may face. Even when you don't agree with a man, you can still support him. A man is more likely to make a commitment if he knows that you will never abandon him

Put your friendship first

Relationships can be stressful, so you need to learn how to relate to him as a friend and not just your lover. When you can view him as a friend, you are more apt to give him the space he needs while avoiding the anger and jealousy that will send him packing. How do you view him as friend? When he says he wants to hang out with the guys, don't think of it as your lover rejecting you in favor of someone else. Instead think of it as an escape for a guy who needs a little man time. Resist the urge to interpret all of his actions in light of the relationship. When a man senses that you still view him as an individual separate from you, he'll be much more receptive to making a commitment to you.
