Men, on the other hand, often seem wary of women who are quick to initiate a talk about commitment. The mention of anything surrounding “where is this going” quickly shuts them down.

This is due to the media stereotypes that “all” women are looking to snag a man to play the role of their ideal husband and life partner. Virtually any man will do, so long as he is willing to follow her schedule of getting engaged, planning a huge wedding, and having kids in the near future.

These expectations create a lot of fear and anxiety in both men and women. Men shy away from commitment because they think it means replacing their fun-filled lives with heavy responsibility.

This, in turn, creates anxiety and fear in the women because she has a timeline in her head of when she expects from a quality man. If he isn’t yet ready to commit, will he ever be? She isn’t getting any younger.

Her increased anxiety over “where things stand” causes her to live in her head, always wondering how he really feels. Often, she will either start to distance herself from her man or will pursue him with more affection – neither of which help bring the couple closer or make her man want to commit.

Rather than force a man to commit based on her time table, the better approach is to relax and don’t force a relationship. Be secure enough to know that you are a good catch and that if things are meant to be, they will just happen.

Commitment conversations usually happen on their own, when both people are ready to “take the relationship to the next level.” There isn’t any awkward pushing and prodding because you both enjoy what you have for what it is, rather than trying to make it into something different.

If you know you are a great catch. If you have a happy, fulfilling life, and you have enough self confidence to know that loves in its own time frame. Then, you don’t need your man to “complete” you or fill a glaring hole in your life.

Love and commitment will evolve naturally.

And when that happens, your man will appreciate you much more because you have given him the time and space to form his own conclusions – when he is ready – rather than badgering him based on your own neediness.

Unfortunately, men have a different idea of what a “nice girl” is. When men think of “nice girls,” they think of someone who has no life of her own and who can’t make decisions for herself. She’s a girl who doesn’t know what she wants, doesn’t have much self confidence, and who welcomes a relationship with any guy who wants her. She isn’t much of a challenge because she’s willing to drop everything if he needs her and she will bend over backwards at his beck and call.

Some women approach relationships as the subservient partner. They let their man take the reins over who she is, who she interacts with, and what she does. Sometimes they will even stop doing things they enjoy because their man doesn’t want her to continue. They start to dress in the way their man wants them to. They take up his interests and hobbies. And they support him in his life goals – to the detriment of their own self-image and personal goals.

The problem with this approach lies in self-respect. If you are willing to do what it takes to “make a relationship work” with any old guy – to the point where you compromise your interests – you are giving away your power. And no one can respect someone who doesn’t respect herself.

Respect is a crucial component to any healthy relationship, and without it, the relationship dies.

The truth is that quality men don’t want to take control of your life. They want an engaging, positive woman who runs her own life, and whom they can spend time with.

It is absolutely essential to put yourself first, voice your own opinions, and pursue your dreams.

We teach others how to treat us by the way we treat ourselves. The more you exude uncertainty, indecisiveness, and doubt, the more likely you will attract others to you who will walk all over you. They act by example. If you don’t respect yourselves, no one else will.

The solution to this problem is to develop a healthy disregard of what other people think. Yes, sometimes another person’s feedback is helpful and constructive, but if you constantly assess your own worth based on what other people think, what the media deems as the “perfect” woman, or how others define “success,” you are setting yourself up for failure.

No matter what you do, you won’t be able to please everyone. And the more you try to please everyone, the more you ignore your own needs and wants.

Instead of spending all your time focusing on who your parents, friends, dates, coworkers and others think you should be, respect yourself enough to follow your dreams and prioritize your passions. It’s your responsibility look out for your own best interests.

Everyone has felt a bit nervous going into a first date, giving a public speech, interviewing for a job or walking into a party where you don’t know anyone. Yet, imagine you felt 100% confident in your abilities to handle any of these situations with grace – knowing you’ll be fine and make a great impression.

Self-confidence is the belief that you are perfect and good enough just as you are. It doesn’t stem from having certain characteristics like the body of a swimsuit model, unlimited wealth, or the perfect career. It’s not about what other people say, how you react to situations, or where you are in life. Rather, it’s a mindset you have about yourself and about the value you have to offer the world.
