What happens when you – or the person you're dating – just can't commit to a relationship past the honeymoon stage? We're getting a look inside the mind of return guest Ryan Van Duzer about why he wants to flee once things get serious – even with people he thought were 'The One.' We're discussing the differences of being ready for love versus a relationship, the line of staying true to yourself vs self-sabotaging, and how to tell if someone has the capacity for something more long-term.
