You’re in a moment in your relationship where you feel you’ve found the one and the love is waxing stronger. The relationship is moving smoothly and your parents like the person you’re dating. As a lady, you begin to wonder when he’s going to pop the question or if he’s ever going to.
It’s not easy to tell that your relationship is heading for marriage sometimes. You may be unsure about bringing it up in a conversation that might make things unstable. However, you also don’t want to waste your time on a relationship that’s going nowhere.
Signs He’ll Propose To You
1. He talks about the future with you in it and he does so often. He doesn’t talk about probabilities. It’s not if we do this or that, it becomes when we do this or that. Whether it is planning a vacation, purchasing a home, or attending a friend’s wedding next year, it is obvious that you are on his mind. He is no longer thinking about his singlehood but what it will be like as a permanent couple. He has communicated in both words and behaviors that you have a future together.
2. He asks your opinion on important life decisions. Things are no longer viewed as only impacting him alone. If he is offered a job in another state or a chance to further his education overseas, he seeks out your opinion. It becomes a discussion and not a singular decision.
3. You are always welcome at family gatherings and he attends most of yours as well. His family accepts you and yours accept him. It seems like a natural fit. It’s a bonus if his mother always asks if you’re coming and is disappointed if you aren’t.
4. He is still around even though you have had a number of tough moments. Maybe you lost your job, experienced a long term illness or lost a parent. He was right there with emotional support. He made you feel secure. If he didn’t leave during the tough times, chances are he’s not ever going to.
5. He shows that he believes in marriage and is not afraid of commitment. It’s a really optimistic sign if he has a positive attitude towards intimacy and commitment. He is thoughtful about marriage, won’t jump in or rush, but at the same time is more than willing to take the risk on love if it feels right.
6. You have a lot in common, including a few weird things. You might have a similar sense of humor or a particular habit that you both do. It seems as if you both really get each other. It goes as far as enjoying the same movies or the same type of books.
7. Last but definitely the dealbreaker; you overhear him asking someone about rings or he starts to notice or comment on other women’s engagement rings. If this happens, he is definitely thinking about proposing and chances are sooner rather than later.
IN CONCLUSION
You’ll still need to show some restraint and exercise patience. All of these signs are only to let you know that he’s not leaving you and that he is going to marry you. However, don’t ruin it by forcing his hand or always talking about marriage.
For those who have been patient and haven’t seen any of these signs or perhaps, his behavior has been pretty inconsistent, then we recommend that you talk about it directly. You may end up heartbroken but it’s best to know where you stand so you don’t invest more resources into a relationship that doesn’t match with your goals. Love and light, Wonder.
