He Refuses To Commit by uju2: 12:58pm On Aug 24, 2011
I met a guy one year ago now I would say that we are dating. We meet up 2 or 3 times a week and talk every other day. Everyone associates me as his girlfriend but he doesnt associate me himself.  He sends me bb messages and does all the calling. When my BIS finishes sometimes he tops it up so we can chart.  The main problem is he has not asked me anything or spoken of his intentions.  I do not know if it is because he is yoruba and I am igbo maybe he doesnt see a future.  When I ask him what we are or what we are doing he makes one excuse or another.  We are both strong christians and go to mfm  which is where we met.  I don't know if I should wait for him to say something or just move on as there is another brother trying to get on the scene as of one month now and seems more forthcoming.  Also he is only 27 so maybe it is that he is not ready for a serious relationship.

I just don't know. any ideas? advice will be good.

Without wanting to be insultive, you sound desperate madam but you can call him and talk with him, tell him your fears and how you feel and if he is still evasive then you should step
Re: He Refuses To Commit by Goldieluks: 1:32pm On Aug 24, 2011
Maybe he doesn't want to commit himself too much.
You might wanna let him know how you feel,and you would get your answer from his reply.

The pastor has seen us as a couple, If I talk to him he will start to question the guy and it will be embarrassing for him and may push him away.

I was just seeing if anyone has been faced with a similar situation and how they handled it.  Some people believe in single till married so they wouldnt see it as out of the ordinary for me to start paying attention to someone who is saying the right things but then all that we have built over the last year will just be wasted and also someone saying the right things may not be the right person.

Still waiting for one mary or joseph to say 'pray about it',  thats not what i came here for.

Re: He Refuses To Commit by Goldieluks: 2:24pm On Aug 24, 2011
Pray about your future instead,and besides your still young and you have a lot of time in your hands,
you just have to make use of your time wisely,and if your a student,you might wanna focus more on
your studies,instead of allowing your mind to be bothered by a guy,at this stage.Don't get me wrong,that doesn't stop you from keeping friends though.

just my suggestion.

I graduated in ghana 2 years ago and I am currently working for my dad's company so no books to focus on. I am considering if this guy is a waste of my time and was just sharing the facts to get an outside opinion. I pray about marriage for the future but havent prayed if he should be my boyfriend or not as i dont think it warrants prayer. If in 2 or 3 years we are still going strong then maybe we would have heard from God, As he has not committed to building something I want someone I can build something with or is it normal for a guy to just be in a relationship with you in his mind without any verbal confirmation?

Now that's what am talking about.
Re: He Refuses To Commit by Nobody: 2:44pm On Aug 24, 2011
OP!
Let's RAP! Now, There is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with you! The Guy loves You quite alright, and he sees a future with you! but Believe me when i say that he is scared of committing himself to you out of fear of REJECTION! He fears You may see him as a BROTHER! That would even BREAK HIS HEART TO PIECES! Now what i'll advise you to do is to OPENLY start seeing the other GUY that comes Around! DONT HIDE IT! If this Guy you are talking about REALLY REALLY cares about you, HE'll get the message, overcome his fears and then ASK YOU OUT! You have your reasons for not wanting to ASK HIM! You've thought of that and think it's a BAD IDEA! It's not always a BAD IDEA though, but STICK to your decision NOT to ask him! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT! IF HE'S NOT READY, PLS MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE PERSON!

The rejection thing is making sense, because people see me as more attractive than him, and from a wealthier family, and igbo people aint the biggest fans of yoruba people in this town, and i'm more popular while he is quite shy, maybe he's scared,

I like this idea and I think I will give it a go, grin thanks.

LOL! grin grin grin Now you are TALKING!!!  He Feels INTIMIDATED too! Hey! Before you decide, Answer this Question Sincerely & as Honestly as you can!:

Do you by Any chance LOVE this Guy? How Would you feel, seeing this Guy with another Girl?
Now if you answered positively, then Give him a chance, put your ego & pride aside and ASK HIM OUT! You have nothing to lose shey? There's someone else knocking, right? If he says NO, just WALK! It's better you take the risk of asking him NOW, than jumping into another relationship without asking him, only to realize that you love HIM MORE THAN EVER!!! Believe me when i say that when you come to that realization, You'll crawl back to him, like a LOST PUPPY, and then maybe, just maybe, it MIGHT be tooooo LATE! GIVE IT A TRY GAL! smiley

Re: He Refuses To Commit by Nobody: 3:52pm On Aug 24, 2011
I like this poster grin anyway my take is the guy is just taking his time but my problem is you have asked him what you guys are doing and he still cant say so then maybe the yoruba/ igbo angle is scary to him and he is not sure where the rship will end after investing so much of himself into it. Alas you cannot pause your life for him so maybe you ask him again or you step up your game with the other brother. What will be will be.
Re: He Refuses To Commit by kpolli(m): 3:57pm On Aug 24, 2011
ok, there is a 50% chance I know u and i have my reservation about mfm girls (poster shud know y). . . .

but my advice to u is one, a girl once did to me. . . . Give him ultimatum, he is either in or out . . . That wud show ur ready for a relationship wiv him n def not reject him
Re: He Refuses To Commit by babydol: 4:02pm On Aug 24, 2011
@ Uju, someone once said where there is no word there is no contract. If this guy has not asked you out then don't assume that you are going out.

If you communicate really well, then you need to ask him again what your relationship is to him. Tell him you are giving him this opportunity to make know his intention as there is someone else asking for a relationship with you. Let him know this is not to pressure him into any relationship with you but so that it doesn't look like you hurt him intentionally because of your status.

Please forget about the ethnicity, if he doesn't like you as a person he would not have encourage the friendship in the first place. Besides, he may only see you as brother and sister in church, nothing more.
Asking him the question will either make him commit to you if he wants to or let you go as someone else is on scene.

By the way, I believe you are a christian and you believe in having a right relationship. there is nothing you can't pray about even the choice of who to go into relationship with. Therefore, guide yourself very well. As you seen very ripe for relationship, beware of time wasters who want to use the opportunity not to develop something meaningful with you since you are no liability to them.

God bless
