Cristina I think you just need to come out and tell him what you really want out of this relationship And just see what he says maybe he is afraid to let you know what he wants. You two sound so perfect together. Sometimes we dont read minds real well when our hearts are beating that special beat. You know the one, I will love you forever.

allready: Cristina I think you just need to come out and tell him what you really want out of this relationship And just see what he says maybe he is afraid to let you know what he wants.

cristina: We girls always love when they approach us. What if you see that the one you love is constantly neglecting that you could be a great couple, that you really go along together, that there is a great passion going on...he is just stubborn, he just thinks he can have is time before getting engaged. Imagine he is always around your life, always throwing hints about how much you mean to him but still he "runs" because he's not prepared...
Would you say: "look, i think we should try, we should get married cause you are just wasting our time"?
Oh my....marriage?! I'm sure that would really scare him off even more....to be honest with you. Can't force anything, especially a man who is not ready for said matter.
I've been on both ends of this ordeal, and the timing is just not there cristina. Put your foot down, let him know what's up from your heart. Go with the flow with what you have. Maybe it's better than nothing at all. Patience is a virtue...unfortunately. If you can't accept it, then the choice is yours to move on.

2catchastar: I am no Ann Landers by any means and have a hard time dealing with myself and my relationships, But sometimes an outsider can see things a little clearer. Sometimes not! But the best thing I could say here would be time, take the time enjoy what there is, learn from one another. And let the hearts come together naturally. Don't rush it and don't try to force it. If it is ment to be then eventually both will see things the same. If it's not ment to be, then you have learned more of lifes lessons for love, and you will be more ready for when the one you are ment to be with comes along. have to go to work now, but I hope everyone finds who and what they are looking for.
interesting how third elements end up interferring- time

shipoker55: **Girls, what if the love of your life can't see that you were meant to be?NEXT!!!
Ha ha well put !! Wow some of the stories on the forums are so enlightening, teaches me , about myself!! I have had to move on in the past, its hard , but if some1 wants to treat me bad, they wouldn't last ten minutes with me. As I got older I really had to grow up, that was the hardest thing I had to do. What doesn't kill you , makes you stronger !! I have learned much, I can be incredibally strong when I need to be, life is too short and precious to waste on wasters !!!!

If he doesn't see it, it's not really meant to be, now is it.
He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He thinks you'll always be around waiting till he's through having fun. My personal opinion, he's not wasting your time, you are. I read something in an article the other day, when a man says he's not ready for a commitment, it means he's not ready for a commitment with you.
If he felt the same way as you do, he'd be the one pursuing you. Never try to trap or catch a man, if you succeed, you may regret it.
Yeah, that's it. I daren't write it on here though in case someone from another country hadn't heard of that saying and thought I was an animal hater. I've been in trouble before for saying weird phrases

Yep - i think you have to b e direct with him and find out what he really wants!!
Sometimes, us guys can be a bit slow on the uptake
However, if u r already dating, as such, then its a different story - then it appears that he doesnt feel he can give u the committment u need.
At such a time u have to ask him why andbe clear about what u want and be prepared to move on if the fit simply isnt right - or as right as u think it is!1
