Has a man ever committed at a faster pace than a woman?

[Editbee]

Generally it's always us ready to commit or move a relationship to the next level while the man has to take his time or might never be at that stage but this has me wondering:

 

Are there cases where a young guy in either his 20's to early 30's was ready before the woman was (beating her at it)? In other words, either his pace was faster than hers, he was too advance for his age or he loved her more than she did?

 

One of my friends told me it happened once to her male cousin. The relationship ended (the girl didn't feel the same way and broke up) and the guy pretty much was devastated. It took him a while to date another girl.

Does that really happens to them too but we just don't hear too much about it?

It really depends on the guy, there are many of us who wear our hearts on our sleeves and fall for women really fast. Once, I was ready to move the relationship forward by moving in together but complications with my ex prevented that (she still in high school, where I had just started college). So I would say my experience answers your question.

I'd say this certainly happens in some cases, it's not really fair to typecast an entire gender as scared of commitment or slow on the uptake!

 

That being said I think it's something a woman would traditionally bring up first as men are happier to just see how things go. It's already been stated in this thread that a man bringing up the next stage of commitment in a relationship has killed it due to it not being the right time/the woman not feeling the same whereas maybe it phases a man a little less even if he's not ready to move in with his partner.
