He has come out of a long relationship but wont commit to me

Hi all.

I met this rreally great guy 8 months ago. We have been dating exclusively ever since we met. He is lovely and sweet and we really click. I really tried to take things slow but I do want to know where I stand and whether I am in fact wasting my time. He had recently come out of a three and a half year relationship before he had met me.

He has stated before that he is unsure if he is ready to commit to something so serious and that he didnt expect to meet someone like me so soon after his breakup. At the time I said that was ok but that I wanted to end this and meet someone who could commit to me.

A week later he said he didnt want to lose me but needs to take things slow. Its been another three months now. I have met all of his friends and some of his family but there is still no commitment.

I genuinely feel like he is holding back from me. I only receive a text once or twice a week and we meet up once a week. The fact that he is so distant hurts me, I suppose I want someone I can depend on and essentially fall in love with.

I could easily fall in love with him. But any time I try to bring up the issue of what we are he says we will talk about it at a later date.

But basically my questions are: 1) Am I being unfair by wanting a 'label' of some sort? 2) Really am I rushing this? It has only been 7 months? 3) Should I just cut my losses and try find someone who is looking for the same level of commitment that I have to offer?

Thanks in advance
