\t\t\t\tMen are notorious for being commitment-shy, but is this reputation truly fair and deserved? For some men, it certainly is, but not for all of them \u2014 not by a long shot. The trouble is, many men aren\u2019t the type to come right out and put their deepest feelings, hopes and desires into words, especially regarding relationships and commitment. This makes it tough, especially for women, to interpret their relationship signals \u2014 to read between the lines of what they say and do in order to gain insight into their intentions. It\u2019s not that men\u2019s and women\u2019s relationship needs are so vastly different; it\u2019s more that the two sexes communicate in such different ways that it can be next to impossible to understand one another. Whether you blame it on gender differences, Mars vs. Venus, or any other paradigm, the end result is the same: Often, men and women simply aren\u2019t speaking the same language.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are those men who say one thing, but whose behavior and body language broadcast something else entirely. We\u2019ve all heard of these playboy types, if not encountered them directly; though they have a variety of names \u2014 players, womanizers, Don Juans, Casanovas, skirt-chasers, and a variety of terms unmentionable in polite company \u2014 they\u2019re all the same. Or are they? If your man promises a long-term commitment but his behavior suggests otherwise, is he lying to you \u2014 purposely, knowingly misleading you? It\u2019s certainly possible. It\u2019s more likely, however, that he doesn\u2019t mean to be deceptive. He might simply be telling you what he thinks you want to hear, in a misguided attempt to avoid hurting your feelings. He might even be telling you something he truly believes \u2014 in his head, while his heart of hearts holds an entirely different truth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good thing, then, that behavior and body language tend to speak more loudly than words. Regardless of what your man might be telling you in words, if you know what signals to look for, you can determine whether he sees a future with you \u2014 and whether that future is merely a vague possibility in his eyes or something real and true, something he fervently hopes for and is working toward, with both eyes open and heart fully invested.<\/p>\n

The following are some typical signals men send out in love affairs that speak to their level of commitment to the relationship.<\/p>\n

Signals that he\u2019s just in it for the moment, and commitment is unlikely:<\/strong><\/p>\n
