Distance = No Commitment - when some guys smell even a hint in the air of a woman they're dating wanting a commitment, they think the easiest way to get out of it is to become distant. After all, a woman won't want to commit to a guy that's not around. 3. Feelings = Love - in the eyes of many men, if a woman they're dating says she has feelings for them, it automatically means the woman is falling in love. In a man's mind, if he's not falling in love as well, this could present a major problem.
