What He Really Wants Before He'll Commit (Based On His Zodiac Sign)
The real reason he's a total commitment-phobe.
WeHeartIt Commitment is a really big deal. For many of us, falling in love and being in a committed relationship is the ultimate goal. For others, it can seem impossible to find that perfect person and want to get serious with them.
When you really think about how serious commitment can be for a person, it isn't hard to see why so many people (men and women alike) get so freaked out by the prospect of marriage and having children.
Of course, you can still be in a committed relationship without getting hitched, but for many people marriage is the end goal.
When you think about commitment, you think about the person you want to be in that kind of relationship. Maybe you are hoping to be someone who is financially stable, someone who is ready to have children, or even just someone who has ALL their sh*t together.
That is why so many of us get cold feet when someone wants to be in a committed relationship with us ... we just aren't ready!
Now, imagine you are that person who is ready for a serious relationship with someone else. You know what it is like to want something and not be ready to handle it, so it should be easier for you to understand why he might not be willing to get serious just yet.
If you are anything like me, you not only like reading about your own Zodiac sign, but you also like to take a look at your significant other's sign. Learning more about his sign can make it easier to understand why he operates the way he does, and even why he is just a commitment-phobe.
If you want to know what he REALLY needs before he will be able to fully commit to you, then keep reading below for some insight into his sign.
