The fear of commitment is often the fear of losing something — with men, that’s usually the fear of losing freedom, dating options, or a feeling of independence.

If you’re loving every minute of being single and would rather date casually, that’s totally fine. You don’t need to give anything up, nor should you feel guilty for your choice.

But if you have strong feelings of love and connection with another person, you want to share your life with them, and you fear the unknown — it’s healthy and normal to feel this way. You’re probably more afraid of getting your heart broken, or that it won't work out in the long-term.
