To leap or not to leap, that is the question

After a few events over the last week or so, I have come to ponder what it is that makes guys run screaming from the prospect of a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. I know a lot of guys jump in with both feet, hell I was one of them, but life is not black and white and on some spectrum, I do believe there is something inherent in every living male that makes them afraid of commitment. Maybe the saying "once burnt, twice shy", or however it goes, is really true and I am just sitting here nursing old wounds. Or maybe, to use another cliche, "the grass is always greener" because while sitting here home alone it honestly feels like it would be nice to share my quiet Sunday afternoon. On the other hand I have meet a handful of seemingly eligible women over the last few months and of course I usually end up getting their details, but only seconds after we part, I sense a huge feeling of relief and have absolutely no intention of seeing them ever again. And on the scale of nice guys I would generously rate myself somewhere between "does his best" and "reasonably decent"! But first and foremost I am an honest guy. Stay tuned.
