Listen, I never say never. What can I say? I’m an optimistic person by nature. But, I’m also a psychotherapist who looks at patterns and underlying issues that often reflect and make up our reality. So, it’s time we get real about commitment: Honestly, they’re never going to commit to you.

Let’s say you’ve been dating this guy or gal for an extended period of time and you want commitment. Let’s also say he or she is not giving it to you. All I’m here to tell you is that you’re probably not going to get that commitment, at least until you make some internal changes.
