8. Be your true and authentic self.

Always stay true to who you really are. You never want to be acting like you are anyone other than who you are on the inside. If you try to act all fake, then he’s going to be able to see right through your act. If you act rather unnaturally, it’s going to be really clear to him and he will not want that.
9. Let him be his own man.

Allow him to be his own man. You don’t want to be controlling and manipulating every aspect of his life. Respect the fact that he is his own person and that he is still entitled to make his own choices and decisions that are independent from your sentiments and opinions.
10. Keep those defenses at a minimum.

And lastly, you’re going to have to lower those defenses if you’re really interested in getting him to commit to you. He isn’t going to want to commit himself to a woman who can’t trust him enough to be vulnerable with him. Lower your defenses and let him in into your life.
