However, whenever I try to make plans for the future or talk about us being a &#8220;couple&#8221; he always changes the subject.\u00a0 What can I do to stop him being so scared of commitment?\u00a0 R&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hi R,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your email.\u00a0 He definitely sounds like a commitment phobe. By this I mean that he is someone who finds it extremely difficult to settle in to a relationship.\u00a0 There can be a wide number of reasons for this and it might not be that big of a problem.\u00a0 Perhaps he&#8217;s been badly hurt in the past or he&#8217;s worried about other issues in his future.\u00a0\u00a0 Here are my top tips to try and resolve this:<\/p>\n<p>1) Talk it through.\u00a0 Find out exactly what his concerns and worries are. Perhaps his parents were in an unhappy relationship or he fears you are much too good for this.\u00a0 Talking should always be the first course of action and it can be the fastest way to resolve things.<\/p>\n<p>2) Reassure Him. Let them know you aren&#8217;t planning on taking over the rest of his life &#8211; just that you really like him and want the world to know.\u00a0 It takes a little courage to commit to someone so make sure he knows you aren&#8217;t going to break his heart or run off with his laptop.<\/p>\n<p>3) Give him time.\u00a0\u00a0 The longer the two of you are together then the more likely he&#8217;ll see you as a couple.\u00a0 Two months isn&#8217;t that long, so give him a bit longer.<\/p>\n<p>4) Trust your instincts.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you really don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s ever going to commit to you then it might be best to move on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<p>James Preece &#8211; the Dating Guru<\/p>\n<p>www.asiansinglesolution.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is this week&#8217;s Dating Problem Answered by our Dating Guru &#8220;Dear James, I&#8217;ve been seeing a guy for a couple of month&#8217;s now and things have been going great.
