Relationship Advice - Why He Isn't Answering Your Calls!

In the beginning of the relationship you were always in touch with your guy. All you had to do was pick up the phone and he would always be there on the other end of the line. But lately, it seems as if he's become harder and harder to get a hold of. In fact, when you really think about it, he isn't calling you as much as he used to either. What's up with that?

There are several reasons why your guy isn't staying in touch with you. As painful as it might be to hear, you need to understand what they are...

1. He's decided he isn't really ready for a long-term relationship. Some guys start to get scared when they realize where a relationship is heading. He might have thought it was just more casual dating in the beginning, but now things have obviously taken a turn for a more serious tone and it scares him to death. He might not be ready for a long-term relationship for quite some time - if ever.

2. He's decided he isn't ready to settle down with you. Your guy might be the long-term relationship type - just not with you. He enjoyed dating you and spending time together, but one day he woke up and realized you would be there - day after day, year after year for the rest of his life. He might not be ready to commit his entire life to only you.

3. He isn't marriage material. Unless you're one of those women who plans to date the same person for the rest of your life, there is going to come a time when you are going to want to get married. Your guy understands this. The problem is he isn't convinced he is marriage material - not now or possibly ever. His realization puts a lot of pressure on him to one day make a decision he isn't really sure he is going to be able to make. So he's bailing out now to avoid the stress of being placed in that position.

4. He's immature. Instead of being an adult and making long-term plans about the future, he would rather continue his frat-boy ways of partying all night, laying out from work and thinking that his life is always going to be that of a 20-year-old. He has no sense of responsibility nor does he want to develop them. He's happy just the way things are.
