What i'll like to know is if you guys experienced the same thing, and how do you deal with it.

All the time. It's a normal thing in any business.
Terri's advice is good: Let them know (nicely, of course) that you're prepared to walk away if now isn't a good time for them. Let them know you're busy with other projects, too. (They'll think more of you knowing that you're in demand.)
Some clients who delay eventually disappear, and some eventually come through. It's sometimes impossible to know which is which while the project is in the early discussion stages.
You might want to create a reason for them to make a decision soon (an upcoming price change, a current opening in your schedule, etc.)
It's also sometimes necessary to to some up front "design work" (at least at the concept level), in order to seal the deal, depending on how important this particular commission is to you.
