    ( slighly rephrased from earlier)
    Question , how many of you would treat lack of commitment as a "snub"?
    I mean suppose say youve been going out with someone for a shortish length of time , say meeting once or twice a week.
    If the other person says/said "why dont we keep doing what were doing" eg meeting at that frquency with no rules about not seeing other people.

    At the moment , I sort of avoid commited relationships like the plague , preferring fun and less time commitment - mainly because I travel and work long hrs on various things.
    My argument is that we can allows get more commitment orientated at a later time

    QUESTION Do you think /would you think:-
    1)Thats a snub or an insult to your needs.
    2)That you can do better than going out with someone who doesnt want commitment fairly early on.Leave that sort of person for someone who cant do better.
    3)That you deserve more than just one or two meet ups a week
    OR
    4)Yeah thats cool.Its good have the freedom to meet other people
    AND /OR the time spare to spend on friends / work /hobbies
    5)Yes I dont mind them having to spend time away with their work and stuff so I dont mind the lack of extra commitment early on .After all , its part of who that person is , and Im sure if things are right , theyll make more time for me soon enough.

    What do u reckon?Many thanks
    Regards

    2 is probably my closest response. i mean, there is such a thing as committing too fast (ie being asked to be someones gf on the second date, eek). but, i personally wanted committment in my life when i met my bf and weve been going strong for 9 months now and plan on getting married, all that jazz. soo, we both had the same goals.

    i do think that unless you explain it clearly (ie you arent a fan of commitment/monogamy/whatever), then it would easily be seen as a snub. it requirse more of an explanation than just what you mentioned at the start

    thx for your mail.

    It aint really so much about monogamy with me , more about I dont want to take up my little amount of spare time chiling out doing nothing.
    Clash of objectives just caused friction
    Plus theres the am I going to move towns /be travelling /stationed abroad issues.

    I tend to go out with girls younger than my age , but say for 22 , 24 , 25 year old girls , I wonder when they say "theyre not looking for a full on relationship" ie theyre happy with the situation , do they really mean "I havent found what Im looking for in a relationship"?
    Most guys ( not all) say they have an open mind , but in reality settle down if they feel they cant improve on what they have( sorry to put it crudely).

    In other words , is the natural /vastly most likely objectiive objective for a girl early 20s or mid 20s to find someone to settle down with?
