reader, anonymous, writes (23 March 2011): Very loaded question ill politely state. Could be a variety of things. Could be past relationship issues? Scared of too much of a good thing? Could be a self fulfilling prophecy like the one my ex said when things were going good and she said "things are gonna end so bad" and you know what... they did, awfully. Im thinking the guy just needs reassurance in the situation and to do that just be consistent with who you are and if he doesnt come around, dont waste ur time chasing. It will exhaust you and is a clear indicator the guy may be quite immature. Good luck.

 Men are afraid of change and tend to cling to the old a familar ways of bachelorhood. Even when it doesn't make sense to do so to the woman in their life.
It is also the reason why the death rate for men go way up for 5 years following the death of their spouse.
Men tend to get a job, and work there for 30 years and then retire. (At least they did in the old days). But women start careers, get married, interupt the career to have kids, reenter the work force when the kids go to school and then start their own business. So when a women lose a spouse they just travel or take up hobbies they never had time to do before. Both still grieve the loss the same, but woman tend to adjust better because they have already faced so many life changes. Men not so much. So sometimes they need a little push in the right direction and/or some incentive.

 For the same reason anyone, of either gender, shields their emotions. No one wants to get hurt. In this world of cheating, lying, 50% divorce rate, and just overall uncertainty, people have a hard time trusting. So people try to guard their feelings to be safer. ESPECIALLY when things are going suspiciously well and it all feels like a dream that's too god to be true.
