One of the reasons a guy waits for you instead of immediately acting on his feelings for you as your boyfriend is because you came into his life at the most unexpected time. For instance, if you met your man at the time he had his focus on getting a second degree to get a promotion at work, he would probably not be ready to be with you.
If he tells you he wants to wait for you even though you’re the right girl for him, you should probably ask him why. If his reason is genuine and you’re cool with it, no reason you can’t wait to.
When a guy waits for you while working through your feeling of commitment phobia, he just might be the real deal. One thing is for a guy to tell you he cannot be with a girl who can’t be committed to one man, another thing is him saying he will wait for you to get to the point where you can be committed to him.
When men who find it hard to be faithful to one girl vow to walk the straight line, you can be sure they mean it. Similarly, it is a fact that a man willing to wait for you to change your ways will earn your trust and you’ll start reaping the benefits of loving a faithful man.
One thing a man who cares deeply for you won’t do intentionally is to hurt you. What a serial monogamist fears the most is being tied down to one woman for long. So, when you capture his attention, he will get scared of becoming too intimate with you. As such, he will ask that you keep things private for a while.
However, while keeping things private, he will do all he can to take care of you and not hurt you. If you have been burned too many times before too, he will be careful to make you happy even while he continues to keep your relationship private.
If the decision to wait before entering a romantic relationship with your guy is from you and he agrees, it could be because you make him happy. When men find women who fill the need that they’ve had for so long, their happiness is usually genuine.
A man whose needs have been met will begin to have the feeling of completeness and will do everything to ensure the girl doesn’t slip away, even if she isn’t ready for a serious relationship and would rather maintain her privacy from him.
For example, if the guy waits for you to be ready before he initiates sex, he probably cares a lot for you and won’t mind too much that you’ve put him in the friend zone.
A guy who is completely into you will sacrifice so much just to be with you, even if that means he will persevere or exercise so much patience before he can be with you in every way that matters.
You need to understand that it won’t be easy for him to maintain secrecy or give you privacy when he needs to be close to you but, he will do it just to assure you of his love for you. When you see how devoted he is to your happiness, you might decide to no longer keep things a secret.
Do you like this guy so much but he says he wants to wait a bit more? Is he older than you in terms of age and experience? Then, you may want to see his actions from the perspective that he wants you to mature into a more knowledgeable adult before things can happen for both of you.
You don’t need to get offended by his point of view but accept that he is doing the best thing for both of you.
The reason most relationships crash is because there is no form of privacy. The fact that you are in love doesn’t mean you won’t live your private life as you choose or put pressure on your partner to do what they don’t want to do. As long as you don’t betray his trust and still create time to express your feelings to him, you have the right to your privacy.

Guys usually don’t beat around the edges when they are genuinely in love with a girl. A guy in love with you will say and show it and even if you are feeling overwhelmed by the attention, he will take a step back until you’re ready.

When it comes to waiting for someone, it could be in terms of sexual intimacy. A guy hesitating to have sex with you could be doing so because he feels sex cheapens relationships. If you both started as friends, the guy might keep his feelings for you a secret because he doesn’t want to spoil things. However, you know he wants you but he’s willing to wait to have sex until you’re both officially a couple.
If the guy is childhood or long-time friend, chances are he knows you better than any boyfriend you’ve ever had. He has seen you go through breakups, pain, joy, and other phases. If you swear him to secrecy about certain things he will do it because he knows a lot about you.
Therefore, this guy won’t pressurize you to start something new until you’re well and truly ready for one. He is also ready to wait for you to see he’s exactly what you need all the while you’ve been searching for the right man to love.
Secrecy is only allowed if both parties are using the tool to keep external parties out of their affairs. The moment you start keeping secrets from each other, there will be problems.
