Will He Ever Commit and Be Serious About Me? Why is He Dragging His Feet?
There's a pattern lately among men wasting a woman's better years (while the woman goes along hunky dory in letting him waste her better years) without giving her a ring and without even broaching the subject of long term commitment. And more often it's the men who have no intention of committing to these women at all–and the women just don't want to accept the truth.
Men rarely lie about their willingness to commit in any relationship. They are often more than straightforward concerning any level of commitment no matter the relationship nor the context.
