They're scared to be emotionally dependent on another person. The other person could be perfect, but the people that are scared of commitment would rather run away and not take the chance of getting hurt.

Eeveryone has a different reason for being afraid of things, especially being afraid of commitment, it could be a large amount of different reasons. Some people are afraid of commitment because it means being vulnerable, and that scares them because then the person you are commited to has the power to break you. and maybe, you could be the only one commited and that FREAKS people out, because let's face it, no one wants to get their heart shattered just to pick up the pieces afterwards. It sucks. and commitment is a risk .. it's also a huge step, you have rules that you need to obey now .. like, when you are commited to someone, there should be NO ONE ELSE and sometimes being with only one person for a while scares the living crap put of people because that means growing up and getting serious. its change. and sometimes, people are scared of that too. so it's not just being afraid of commitment, its being afraid of the things that come with being commited to someone.
I hope that made sense :] hahaa it did in my head. good luck ! hope i helped, have fun ! xxo.

Most people are scared of getting hurt, or putting in too much & not getting the same amount back. Some people just don't feel like dating. Some people just don't like the thought of commitment at all. There's a difference between not liking something and being afraid of it.
But just know that every person is different.

Some people have been hurt bad enough that evertime they think about commitment it really scares them. And some people are just happier playin around and not really bein tied down to anyone. Not being tied down is a lot less drama and a lot less tears.
Hope i helped =]

Your answer is in your question.
Commitment. People are afraid to tie themselves down. A lot of people are too free-spirited to want to settle down.
But, it varies from person to person.
If you're a teenager, and you're wondering why someone won't date you, well, then ask them. Maybe they aren't afraid of commitment, they just don't want to date.

That's because we all fully aware that time steals away commitments and loosens ties. It makes promises and hope fade into nothingness and become forgotten as love and friendship are reduced to tales of the past and vague memories in the mind.
They afraid of commitment because they afraid that they, or the people whom they made a commitment with (or made a commitment to), would be unable to keep it.

Commitment is a big thing. Many people fear this because they do not trust themselves, or they do not trust other people. If the case is that they do not trust themselves then commitment is difficult because they fear they will screw up badly and potentially hurt someone. Sometimes if a person has cheated before or something and then another person comes along who personA falls inlove with, personA will fear commitment because they don't want to do anything to hurt personB. In this case you might ought to try showing the person that they will not hurt you by letting them get to know themselves by hanging out with you.
If the case is that the person doesn't trust others then it is probably because they have been hurt pretty badly in the past and are afraid of it happening to them again. In this case you must show that person that you are not going to hurt them by treating them nicely, and respecting their wishes. Also by not doing anything that may lead the person to believe you are going to hurt them.
I hope you get help from this and good luck.
