How to Get a Commitment From a Man
Commitment is the process of becoming more serious in a romantic relationship, possibly ending in marriage. While nobody can make a man do something that he does not want to do, there are simple steps that you can take to lead your relationship in the direction that you desire. If you do these things and a man is still not interested in being in a committed relationship with you, it may be time to move forward with your life.

Live your life in the same way that you did before you met the man you are interested in a commitment with. Keep making plans with friends and family, fulfilling work obligations, and doing things that you love. Men like a partner with a full life so that they do not feel pressured to make the person happy all the time.

Take time for yourself, even if it means being unavailable on occasion. Don't play hard to get, but if you are busy sometimes it makes you more appealing to a man. Turn your phone off, take a hot bath, and read a book. If he calls make sure that you return his call, but don't put his needs ahead of your own.

Lose your expectations for the way that your life should be. Instead, define your deal breakers in a relationship and communicate these with suitors initially in the dating process. If you are already in a relationship, try bringing them up one at a time in a calm way. This way the man is aware of what you will and will not put up with. Stick with these boundaries and say no to things that you do not like. Communication is key to a committed relationship.

Give the man freedom. Many men are hesitant to become committed because they think it will mean losing all their freedom. Instead, trust him and give him time to spend with friends and alone. Everyone needs space in a relationship.

Be a fun and positive person to be around. Men are less likely to commit to someone that they cannot have fun with in a relationship. Have a sense of humor about yourself and life, and your attitude will be contagious and attractive to men.
