Signs that he is not ready to put a ring on it

Relationships

For every woman having a man put a ring on their finger and walk down the aisle dressed in some fancy wedding gown is what they long for. Especially if the biological clock is ticking and all their friends are married off.

However in order to have all these come true a man needs to propose as it quite clear not every woman has the guts to ask a man to her marry her.

So if you're wondering whether a guy sees himself as  a bachelor for life  or ready to put a ring on it , here are a few of the telltale signs he's not ready for the ring:

1. He is not a good at making important decisions

His reluctance to marry might not be about you at all. If he can't decide on, say, what career path he wants to follow or where he wants to live, he probably doesn't know himself well enough to settle down yet.

2. When he talks about the future he does not include you

When he talks about the great plans he has for his future he does not mention. Then it’s clear that you are not part of his future plans therefore what you have cannot be nurtured into a fruitful long term relationship that in can lead to marriage in future.

3. He doesn't ask about your long-term goals

Again, if he's not yet tailoring his dreams to yours, he's not yet thinking about your lives together. It's not like he has to account for every little detail, but if he isn't showing an interest in your future, it might be because he doesn't see himself in it. 

4. He doesn't handle conflicts well

Relationships require maintenance and fights happen. But when you get into a fight, does he launch right into a blowout fight or calmly try to explain why something bothers him? Does he talk to you when he's upset or totally shut down emotionally? If he loses his cool during small disagreements, it's not a good sign for any of the larger conflicts that may come down in future.

5. He avoids your family

He avoids getting in close association with you family members then its outright that he does not see any future relationship with either you or your family.

6. He won’t share on costs

Say you've moved in together, and you need a new TV set, a fridge or cooker .It makes sense to share the costs, right? Of course it does—if you feel confident that you'll never fight for ownership. Instead he decides that you should buy one of the items then he is not ready.

7. He doesn't like your friends

Accepting you means accepting the people who you surround yourself with. If he can't bring himself to do that—or at least make an effort—then he's not ready for a serious commitment. 

 

8. He downplays your relationship in front of his friends

A guy who is ready for marriage will comfortable introduce you as their girlfriend or future wife front of his friends. But one who is not will always down play the status of your relationship in front of his friends when asked who you are, he say  she just a friend or even brush the question aside

9. He Criticizes You

A man should always compliment his woman or at least do that once in a while but a guy who criticizes you all the time, then he is not ready to settle down with you because he cannot stand you.
