How to Overcome Fear of Commitment
Fear of commitment is something which can ruin a relationship. This fear may be a result of some history, mostly with parents, or can come when a person is not sure whether he/she will be able to accept the responsibilities that come with marriage. That however is a very pessimistic way to look at things. Like every relation, a husband/wife relationship also has some requirements, but what it also brings is loads of joy and challenges, which make you a better person eventually.

1
Know yourself better
Each person has his/her own fears and reservations and if somebody has difficulties in accepting changes in life, it should be accepted. This is first step and the root of the whole issue. When you know that you struggle in keeping up to the requirements of a relationship and committing yourself, the best thing is to start judging yourself and see where you go wrong. Close friends and family can also help you a lot in that regard.

Choose the right person
The fear of commitment can be overcome if the person who you want to get hooked up with knows you in and out and shares the same, emotional and emotional values. This can really help you in gaining confidence that things can actually work out.

Take it slow
If you are not sure whether you have made the right choice, divide your relationship into small steps and then observe the behaviour of your partner under different circumstances. If any time, you feel that there is a huge enough gulf in understanding, you can always evaluate your options.

Go public
When people say that it does not matter what other people think or talk about you doesn’t matter, they are wrong. It matters a lot and this thing is the very essence of every society. You just cannot isolate yourself from the norms of the society if you want to live a normal life. This thing can actually force a person to mould him/herself and become more open to the idea of commitment. The only thing which needs to be done is to make the relationship public. -

Narrow the options and challenge yourself
Keeping too many options open for romance can be the biggest roadblock for you getting committed. The best way is to narrow down the options, preferably to one, and then challenge yourself to prove that your choice was right.
