Commitment Phobe?

                                              
         When I look at this picture I see a woman  happily running away from her groom to be!



The phrase "Commitment Phobe" is most often synonymous with men- that lack the desire to be in a monogamous relationship. I am not saying that all men have a commitment phobia. However, I must admit that I often sympathize with men and women that are not in a rush to get married. SUre, I imagine shopping for that perfect wedding gown and "Saying Yes to the Dress".  But when I really, really, ponder over spending forever with Mr. Right.. I panic.


I start finding any reason to breakup with the guy, like him being nice to people turns into him being a pushover. Or he dances weird and how embarrassing it would be to dance with him at our wedding.


No seriously, I think my commitment woes stem from unresolved hurt in a previous relationship. Ever since that relationship I have noticed a trend of being emotionally unavailable in relationships. I have an emotional wall protecting my heart from pain.


I know this all sounds cliche...but what are signs that someone has a wall? 
Everyone says to "Let your guard down" but what are the steps??
Have you ever been with someone that was emotionally unavailable?
