While some people seem to always know what they want, others are not like that - and it might be especially frustrating when talking about relationships.

There are multiple reasons for people to want or not to want relationships, but the most popular reason is not knowing what could make you happy.

Let's look closely at why people might be extremely uncertain about their relationships.

Why some people don't know what they want

Some people don't know what they want from relationships because they might not be sure about what makes them happy or what kind of person they're looking for. 

It's like being in a big store with lots of choices, and you're not sure which item to pick because you haven't thought about what you really like or need.

Priorities might change

People's feelings and preferences can change over time, so they might feel uncertain about what they want in a relationship. 

It's also possible that they haven't had enough experience in relationships to figure out what works best for them.

It's a part of learning

Not knowing exactly what you want in a relationship is okay, and it's something many people go through. 

It's a part of learning and growing as a person, and over time, you may get a better idea of what you're looking for in a partner and in a relationship.

Conclusion

When someone isn't sure about their relationship, it's not always about their partner being not good enough - it might be just their anxiety or uncertainty.

You don't have to push your partner, though - it won't help them decide what they want sooner.
