Joining a free dating site and taking that big step is the easy part. Now you have to actually make a relationship work when you meet that special person. This can be harder to do if you’ve finally met a great guy yet he is a little hesitant about making the big move.
It can be frustrating and downright confusing at times. Can’t he tell that you like him!? Doesn’t he know what a catch you are!? The answer for both is probably yes, but that still doesn’t change the fact that some guys are just apprehensive about sealing the deal, so to speak.
It could be a few things, including:
Past Online Dating Blunders
Not only will a guy’s previous failed relationships help to influence the outcome of all his future relationships, but his parents’ relationship might also be a factor you’ll have to contend with. If he’s from a broken home and/or has a history of broken relationships, you’ll have to understand his apprehension here. You can coax him out of it with reassurance if you feel he’s worth it.
Career Minded Dates
Many men today are focused more heavily on their careers due to the uncertain economic times. If he’s yet to make that big move on you, it could very well be because he’s not feeling financially secure enough to start a big relationship, or perhaps he’s looking at some type of promotion or another career-changing move.
Commitmentphobia Singles
For whatever reasons, guys always seem to be a little more scared of long-term relationships than girls. Whether you meet them on free dating sites or out in the real world, most men will take it more slowly when they realize that it could be a serious relationship.
