The Situation

"He said he's scared of commitment but dates other people"

The Brutal Truth

He’s using his fear of commitment as an excuse to keep his options open. He wants the thrill of dating without the responsibility of a real relationship. You're not his priority; you're just part of his options.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling to him, hoping their affection will change his mind. This is wrong because it undermines self-worth and leads to more pain, as you'll be chasing someone who's not ready to commit.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What would dating feel like if you were with someone who openly communicated their intentions and valued your commitment?
