Why are people commitment phobic? And then how to find someone with whom you'd want to spend your life?

I Need Advice 😩

I (25M) have been on dating apps and although women say they want something long term, but you go on 2 dates and they spill how they are commitment phobic. I would like to know how long does "long term" mean?

Also, I now feel very fatigued and have removed all dating apps. I have no clue how to find the right woman to not just spend a couple of years but my entire life with. I want someone with whom I can plan our whole lives and share every small experience with. I feel very awkward while cold approaching, so now I feel stuck. Any tips on how to find someone who would be ready to make the effort of knowing each other and seeing things through?
