Guys and Commitment

Why are guys afraid of commitment? All the girls must have ruminated over this line at sometime or the other.. When someone we are really interested in, is not saying those magic words, we do ponder over and over and over.

so why are guys wary of falling in love? Are they afraid to hurting themselves or scared that their girl would turn them down? The solution is simple, no voodoo, no magic love potions or even hexes! The girl can start giving subtle hints or innuendos, or maybe be the first to propose!!

Back to the original topic of why Guys are noncommittal... The good, confused kind don't want to be hasty and are cautious of the hurt that could be whacked into their lives, both the guy and the girl's. These guys can be trusted and are worth waiting for.
The jovial, philandering kind are mostly the ones who don't mind hurting the girl for their pleasure. These people can be identified easily. They wont introduce you to their friends, make excuses to reschedule a date for some unfathomable reason and sometimes don't call u back too!! "Just a fling", they would later say!

So, the girl must know the guy best.. Whether he's type one or two! And when she knows that, she knows what to do next :)
