Most of us are used to the regular Kenyan guy. The one to whom the idea of space he is unwelcome in is foreign. The one who will pursue you relentlessly even when you tell him there is someone else.
Then there is the other kind. The one who may seem interested at first but with whom a relationship will never progress past the casual dating stage. The commitment-phobe. Is your man one of these? Take our test to find out if your man is just cautious or if he is a commitment-phobe who will never make an honest woman of you.
