2. Your future together isn’t on his radar
You’re trying to plan a romantic weekend and he flakes out. Or you talk about going to a friend’s wedding and he says he has plans that day, even though he hasn’t even checked his calendar. Or you get invited to a friend’s barbecue and he’s being cagey about going. If he can’t even commit to a barbecue with your friends, how’s he gonna commit to anything with you?
I had the unfortunate experience of dating one of those “future-phobic” guys. We were talking about staying at a friend’s cabin for the weekend, but the date that worked for everyone was a month away. He said, “I don’t make plans that far in advance.” It was like a gut punch. I knew what he was saying, but denied the red flag. Instead, we dated for another month (but never went on that cabin trip). It eventually ended with the dreaded “I just want to be friends” call.
