9 Things That Make A Guy Finally Settle Down
There’s nothing worse than a guy who exclaims that he’s “just not ready for commitment” despite being in his 30s (or WAY older). And he has no excuse for not being in a real relationship. He acts like a total jerk and seems to hold on to his freedom like it’s so precious that girls/women just don’t get it. You break up with him, and then BAM—suddenly he’s married with kids. What changed? Why did he even do this?
9 Things That Make A Guy Finally Settle Down.
1. The idea of dating becomes lousy for him.
True story, a leading study on men and commitment found that most men start thinking about marriage when they start feeling out of place on dates. If he feels “too old” to keep going to the local singles bar, he’s more likely to start looking for a serious relationship.
2. He finally has a stable income/career.
Believe it or not, guys feel insane pressure when it comes to being able to provide for women. Many worry about being “good enough,” but in reality, they refuse to get married until they are financially and emotionally stable.
That being said, finances are one of the main excuses guys use when it comes to avoiding commitment.
3. He has a good reason to get married now.
Although it is rare, some guys marry someone to get a better job, to strengthen their social standing, or to gain benefits. Never underestimate the power of external factors when it comes to influencing a guy’s desire to commit to you.
4. Now he sees examples of happy relationships
A guy who watched his parents struggle through a bad divorce is going to need a LOT of convincing to get married. And the worse his experience is, the less likely he is to pop the question.
However, if he starts to see more happy couples around him, he may eventually reconsider his position and become more interested in committing.
5. He was healed from his past pain.
A bad relationship can completely ruin the way you see the opposite sex. And if a guy gets burned, he’ll have to wait a long, long time before he ever gets around to another relationship.
In most cases, guys who are in the process of healing do not contact any girl. However, once they realize that they have recovered from this and have met the one, they will be ready to propose.
6. He’s already had his fill of walking
Not everyone is ready to say goodbye to their freedom, but if a man has already had his fill of “playing around,” guess what? He might be interested in a serious relationship.
7. He begins to realize that he is getting old.
You’d be surprised how many guys become more receptive to a girl when they gain weight, lose their hair, or develop wrinkles. Sad but true. Guys eventually want to get married when they can no longer get the casual sex they used to.
8. His biological clock started ticking
If you think that only women are obsessed with children, you are wrong. According to one study, more men than women are now interested in children. The funny thing is that most guys’ biological clocks start ticking later, and when they do, they start looking for a mother-to-be for their children quite frantically.
9. He met his only
This is what you probably don’t want to hear if he didn’t choose you. But if it’s the other way around and you’re the object of his love, then congratulations!
Most men want an assertive girl, not a wimp, when it comes to commitment, and if you’ve been begging him to commit, you’ve already lost him.
You don’t have to wait too long to figure it out, either. Within six months to a year, most guys already know if they want to marry a girl. If he still won’t commit or doesn’t feel ready to even discuss it, then he’s already made his decision, and it’s time for you to leave him.
