How To Get Your Man To Commit To An Exclusive Relationship

So you and this guy have been dating for quite some time, but he seems not very inclined to be exclusive. You're probably asking yourself how to make your guy commit. Some women believe that giving the guy an ultimatum, such as by telling him that she would leave the relationship if he can't commit, won't make him commit. By forcing him to make an all or nothing decision, you will just make him pull back even more, because he will be associating stress and pain with the commitment.

It is also a mistake to offer yourself completely to a guy before he has expressed any intention of committing. This pertains not only to sex, but also to the time you spent with him, and the attention you give him. Changing your schedules just to accommodate his schedule, or giving in to all of his demands, reeks of desperation, and will just give him the idea that he can get all of that without any commitment, so why change anything?

While it may seem old-fashioned, but mothers' and grandmothers' advice to let the guy chase you until you catch him still holds true today. Allow him to pursue you, and reward his efforts by giving him an amazing time when you're together. Basically, what you want for him is to feel that life as a single guy can never be more exciting than being with you.

Create more of a life outside his orbit by starting a new hobby without him, or hanging out with your friends without inviting him. Once there is another thing that competes for your attention, he will sense that he would need to step it up by investing more into the relationship. You can also make big life decisions by yourself. Doing such will make him see that you intend to live your life the way you want it, and that he would need to commit if he wants his opinions to matter.

Sometimes, a bit of jealousy can be a way on how to get a guy to commit. Men have problems dealing with you going out with someone you have a so-called "platonic" relationship with. If he feels a bit jealous about your platonic relationship with your friend, he might just strive to be more endearing to you.

If despite your efforts, your man still seems uninterested as ever, maybe it's time for you to move on. It may be time to consider leaving the relationship, and looking for another person who is more mature and ready to commit.
