Commitment Issues

I see a lot of young people have commitment issues. They want all the perks and benefits of a relationship with someone they love and trust but would rather leave any sort of title out. Well I always say, a title is a title for a reason. The two of you may know what you have and have no doubts about that but it lets others know you're not only taken but committed to that person. Titles aren't bad,  but what you do with the title may be.
It seems pretty hurtful to me to love someone and want to keep them close and not hurt them but not love them enough to take a risk with them. I would not force a man's hand nor condone anyone in doing so, but if you can't take a risk with someone, not for them, then it seems hard to believe that you love them THAT much. And that's not to say that love isn't there, but like a title, commitment is commitment for a reason.
The funny thing about commiting though, it's not just one person taking a risk, the both of you are. So if you really are truly in love, I can't see the problem in trusting each other (like your relationship should be built on) and taking that risk together. Taking the risk to trust and build together.
I mean, commitment to me mean's that WE are in it together and because we trust each other that means we're going to trust each other's actions. And not to hurt each other, whether you're with each other or apart. And if trusting them that far is just too much, why'd you start down a path you know you didn't want to go down? Commit so they know it's real.
