Guys with commitment issues are almost cliche at this point, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist in droves. Since when did having a girlfriend become so terrifying? Getting close to a woman and developing a real relationship can be incredibly intimate and rewarding, so seriously, what’s the big deal?
- You’re scared about nothing. What’s the worst thing that’s going to happen when you enter a new relationship? You’re going to fall in love, have a partner in life, and share everything from hilarious childhood stories to what your boss said to you in today’s meeting. Oh yeah, and you’ll have an amazing emotional and physical connection with someone. Yeah, that sounds horrible.
- You have to earn BF status. You may think every girl you meet wants to be your girlfriend, but she really doesn’t. You have to earn that. If you’re lazy, lack ambition, hate your job, can’t even do your own laundry and spend all day playing video games, you’re not boyfriend material. It might be a good idea to figure out your life before complaining that girls want to “tie you down.”
- You’re not as cool as you think. Apparently it’s super cool to want to be free and available in case something better comes along, but guess what? You’re really not as hot or irresistible as you think you are. It’s super lame, actually.
- You’re seriously missing out. Not only are you missing out on the amazing experience of being in love, you’re also missing out on a lot of amazing, confident, ambitious women that you decided you didn’t want to be with. Totally your loss.
- Life isn’t one giant swiping opportunity. You feel you have tons of options today thanks to a  little thing called Tinder, but that won’t last forever. If you keep acting this way, you’re going to be pretty undateable.
- You have to grow up. You think that being someone’s boyfriend is equal to deciding to have zero fun for the rest of your life. Newsflash: that’s crazy. You may not care now, but in a few years, you’ll realize how immature you were and be super embarrassed.
- Your friends are going to move on. You’re cool with being single now because all your friends are, too. But they’re going to find relationships and settle down, and you’ll truly be left all alone, wondering why you don’t have love.
- You can have a life and a girlfriend. Nope, she’s not going to ruin your entire existence and force you to do stuff you don’t want to do. She’ll be your friend and hopefully the love of your life, too. What’s so bad about that?
- Eventually you’ll regret it. You’ll realize that, hey, you could have had about 10Â girlfriends by now and they all would have been amazing and added something to your life. But no, you were too busy ghosting and playing games and dating a million other people at the same time. One day you’ll wake up and realize you should have thought about the future more.
