Spring, Like a Man not willing to Commit
I heard this today, “spring is like a man not willing to commit”. I thought, now how is spring like a man not willing to commit. Since I could not ask the person who said it about what was on her mind, I and we need to conjure up how this can be so. We all know that in spring ” a young man’s fancy LIGHTLY turns to thoughts of Love”, but that does not mean he intends to have a June bride. Hey, I was mislead. I heard the quote, but never heard “LIGHTLY”.
I am not talking about all men and maybe only a minuscule portion of men are involved (eyes rolling), but I do think there are enough to be compared. I read that men see a woman then begin a pursuit and when the woman seems to be won, they then decide if they really want her. I was told that “dating forever” was the best way by one man. From my experience, I think that men are very, very wary of commitment even if they started the wooing and pursuing.
Also, this is an original way of thinking about spring. Spring certainly seems unwilling to commit in our climes. We get warm weather and then snow and we get it over and over and it can go on until summer finally arrives. Really, it happens. Our flowers bud and get ready to bloom and get frost bitten. Hope springs eternal and sometimes spring comes and stays but not very often. Sad to say, but true. Does this sound something like the romances you have had?
The only way to know that spring has come to stay is to bide your time. Hey, the same is true of a man. In all fairness, the same could be said of a woman, but it fits men better, I think. So, spring is unwilling to commit and so are men.

Hello Rose, Spring will commit soon have no worries………..men, or women for that matter not so sure……….maybe I am wrong, but I don’t think commitment is that important when you are older………..the young girls usually want the fairy tale wedding, the young men get dragged along………..we are older and hopefully wiser…………..marriage is damned hard work, do we want to work that hard ermm……….the rewards have to be worth it, wish I had a £1 for how many people have said to me that they wish they had my set up and remained single……….it’s nice to have someone in your life as I have, do everything together as a married couple would, but at the end of the day have my own roof has does he………..no I wont be committing or him, although it is something that has never been discussed, don’t feel the need to………if on his deathbed he wished for us to marry then I would……….I do think lots of women push for commitment and frighten the men off, it’s very important for some to marry to feel as one……..but not for all, you can still be committed to each other without the marriage certificate………15 years together so getting something right along the way……..just go with the flow enjoy what you have…..xx
Thanks starlette. True starlette but I will argue about spring here. One day in June I was lying by the pool thinking about a cooling off in the pool and all of a sudden the wind came and then the rain. I could barely help my friend pack up and get things back in the cabana. Went back to my apartment and a few hours later, got my heavy coat and went grocery shopping. The temperature dropped 50 degrees in a few hours. That happened in Chicago, Illinois. I still say men are like that. In the movies, the wife comes home and they are packing a bag or have gone already, or they up and storm out and go to a bar and don’t come back. Now whether people should commit or not is another question. Thank you for a good honest opinion, starlette.
“Spring is like a man not willing to commit”
I don’t know who’s quote this is, but its a thinker.
Many women want a man to commit everything they have to them, mind, body, soul and time.
But those women need to commit to themselves first.
Treat yourself how you wish others to treat you.
Polliepie, You are the first person to comment on the spring quote. It struck me as a very different way of thinking about spring. The person who said it took credit but it is too good for an ordinary person. I Googled it and could not locate it. The other quote, I did find. It is by Tennyson. I Googled again and found my blog only. How about that?
I find the title of our blog hurtful
oops meant your
BobE, LOL. How is it working for you? I would love to hear all about it.
Mike, Why or how. I know men can take offense but just saying it like I see it.
Can’t we just have sex without all this commitment pa lava!!!
Bobe, Whether we should commit or not would be a good blog for you to write. I like to plan a future and you cannot do that without commit.
Why can’t men think with the other head? Why is it always the lower one?
Just asking…..if I dare…No need for return comments…lol!
Haaaaa…….Sweets I believe it is because the blood supply either flows to the upper head….or the lower head hehe……..does not go to both at the same time, not in the same volume……something along those lines anyway……..so you see that is why the brain cannot dictate what the penis does, it has become weaker because of lack of blood, while the penis has become stronger………so the stronger one wins……..and we all know which one that is……lol xx
I’ve got used to life on my own terms….I’ve a good and happy life and come to the conclusion that I don’t really need a man…….Not worth the bother……I’ve known my soul mate, it doesn’t happen twice!
Xxx
True maize, and that is the way I will think of it if I am ever unfortunate to be left on my own………..good company is all, be it man or women, and women’s company definitely comes with no strings in most cases……..soooo much easier……xx
Absolutely, star….love my friends,I’m lucky in my life!
I love all the things I do….and I have Alfie to snuggle up to!
Unless someone who is a mixture of Rod Stewart, Al Pacino,Jack Nicholson and Ross Poldark miraculously appears, I shall quite happily spend my days with a good book, my music and Alfie…tons of laughs and no hassles! Xx
Maize, you are blessed that you had found your soul mate. I didn’t but am ok with that. If it is meant to be it will be. I have to find my self worth yet after my divorce, it has been long enough. I am working on it though…Don’t need another relationship to mess that up…lol! I am blessed with great friends and 5 incredible grandchildren…what more could one want!
