Why Does She Act Like My Girlfriend but Won't Commit?
The Situation
"She treats me like a boyfriend but won't commit"
The Brutal Truth
She's keeping you on the hook without any real investment. This pattern signals denial of commitment and emotional unavailability. You're in a situationship, not a relationship, and her behavior shows she’s not serious about building a future together.
