If you have ever been with someone and all they tell you is to wait, take it slow, and not be ready for a serious commitment at the moment, then you need to read this, as you will understand why they were telling you that:

1. Vulnerability
Relationships require people to be open, and in this case, many are usually scared because they feel they will be taken advantage of, hence the reason they insist on taking it slow.

2. Past painful heartbreaks
People may have been in previous relationships that drained them emotionally, but ever since they carry that notion that they are all the same and why should they rush into getting in another? At least they fall victim again.

3. Afraid to Love
Some may have internal fears about whether they should give it a try or not, always being hesitant about it.

4. Commitment
Not everyone is good at committing themselves to relationships, as it comes with a lot of responsibilities.

5. Afraid to Compromise
In any relationship, you will definitely have to sacrifice and be ready to forgo some things just to save your relationship, and many don’t want things to come between their work or what they are doing, so they choose not to make that sacrifice.

6. Fear of Rejection
What if I say yes and she refuses? It would be hard to live with this saying that your proposal was turned down, not even where it was just the two of you, but what if it was in public?
