Signs a Man Is Not Ready For a Relationship

There are many men out there who are faithful to one woman yet never commit to her. They may date only her, but never step it up to the next level. This is all fine and well for a while, but if the woman wants more, such as marriage, she may be barking up the wrong tree. The sad thing is often the woman gets in too deep. She is treated well and doesn't see it coming. When it hits her, she is already in love.
There are flags and signs that this man isn't ready for a relationship or won't commit to a relationship. One sign is how deeply involved in his life are you? If you have been dating a while and he has slotted time for you every week, although you are in his life it may not be that deeply. A man can take you out every Saturday night, call you every single day, share his day with you verbally and still not be ready for a relationship. These are surface things that are easy to do.
If he on the other hand takes you to Sunday dinner at his moms, or involves you with his family, and you do day to day activities together such as grocery shop, you are more involved. The man not ready for a relationship will give you just enough to keep you around.

5 Reasons Why He Is Not Commitment Ready

Commitment. It ends up being the make or break word of most relationships. If someone is unwilling to commit to you, then you know that at some point, you are going to have to move on without them. And when you find someone who IS willing to make a commitment to you, it can make you feel validated and like you are on top of the world.
When someone does NOT want to commit, it may make you wonder what their reasons are. It can make you feel worthless, or like there is something wrong with you. However, that is not always the case.
If you are wondering why someone is not wiling to make a commitment, here are 5 common reasons for this:
1) They are afraid of commitment.
This applies especially to guys. There are a lot of men out there who really are afraid of commitment. So much so, that it seems almost like a cliche to list it in the number one slot. This is something that you need to be aware of, though, because it is so common.

Sports Fans and Relationships

Baseball season sadly ended for me on Wednesday night, September 28th. Sure I know post season games are ongoing, but my team - the Atlanta Braves didn't make it this year. They lost their final opportunity on Wednesday night in a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 3 - 4 in 12 innings. The Braves led going into the 9th inning and blew it. Like a merciful doctor, the Phillies pulled the plug on the Braves post season hopes and put an end to what was a tragic month of baseball.
Teams win and teams lose but the Braves like their American league counterpart the Boston Red Sox gave up significant leads as Wild Card leaders at the beginning of the September only to see them squander it, and lose it all on the final game of the regular season. The Braves finished the month of September with a record of 9 wins and 18 losses a record hardly worthy of post season play.
My allegiance is with and will always be with the Braves, but I don't allow it to cloud my objectivity and good sense. The Braves were not and should not be heading into the post season unless they were firing on all cylinders - hitting, pitching and fielding. By the end of the season, the St. Louis Cardinals were the better performing team, earning and deserving of their Wild Card win.
