No. It does not make you afraid of committment - it makes you aware that you know you don't really care about who you are with. When you find a solid person you want to be with, you won't be thinking about the chance of someone better coming along; you'll know that THEY are the 'someone better' you've been looking for all along.

Don't settle. You deserve to be with someone who capitivates you.

If you've been hurt in the past, you'll need to find a way to deal with it. Every guy is different - just because your past relationships involved mistakes does not mean your future ones will.

If you find that someone better, trust me, you'll be able to realize that you've worked through yor pain. The human heart is wonderful that way.

I don't think you're afraid of commitment. I think the whole "what if someone better appears?" thing is your wanting to keep your options open, which is totally okay. You can date casually without actually going steady with a guy.
I got my heart stomped on once, and that was enough to destroy me. I went through an 18 month period where I hated guys, thought they were all lying jerks, and turned down every guy that asked me out. The first guy I trusted, I'm still dating.
I trusted him because he'd been through what I had twice. I figured he wouldn't inflict the pain he's felt on someone else, and I may as well give it a shot.
It's hard to heal once you've been burned, but when a good guy comes along, give him a chance. For now, though, I suggest you date casually. No commitments. That way you can get to know guys and not worry about getting hurt. If you find a guy you particularly like, go out with him a few times, then if you think it'd work out, move into a steady relationship. *Shrug* That's how I'd go about it.
I hope this helped!

You cant just sit around and wait for your *perfect guy* you have to go out with different kinds of guys to test and figure out what you want bcuz who knows your perfect guy could be right under your nose and you done want it to slip away. And when a guy breaks your heart you pretty much have to move on and realize not every guy is gonna be like him .. i will admit there will be some jerks but then theres gonna be some really great guys .. hope i helped ask again anytime =)

well that is a question u have to answer. if u have known the guy 4 a while then u might be able to trust him more. it really all depends on the guy. but dont let breakups hurt u so much. the more u think bout it the more it will hurt. if u move on u'll forget bout it.

Maybe ur not afraid of commitment ur just afraid to be hurt again. Dont rush urself into liking someone, and dont try to find someone you like, just let it occur naturally.

First what you should do is hang out with some guys to get use to hanging with them and maybe you will find someone you like and he likes back you should only go out with the person u like if you feel comfortable with it is doesn't necessarily mean you are afraid of commitment.

good luck with dating i wish to you the best!

thats a hard question. in time ull learn to trust again sometimes you have to go out with someone to do it and if it doesnt work out then move on but you should give people chances because not all guys are the same..

orphans answered Thursday August 12 2004, 10:58 pm:
to trust guys you should recognize that were not all the same if you dont trust one than consider that the next guy isnt the one before were all different. as for the commitment thing, it has nothing to do with commitment your being an ass no offense but you need to go out with who you like, dont just sit around and wait for some dude better.
