Step 1
Make him aware of your interest in a lifetime commitment. Drop subtle hints from time to time, such as, 'We'd make a great team' or 'I can't imagine my future without you,' rather than incessantly bombarding him with demands about marriage.
-
Step 2
Point out your shared interests, values and common goals. Open his eyes so he'll realize that you're the one for him.
-
Step 3
Remember that actions speak louder than words. Show him what a great lifetime partner you could be through thoughtful actions, sincerity, kindness and other appealing traits.

Create opportunities for him to pop the question. Plan a candlelight dinner, arrange a romantic evening out or have a weekend away together.
-
Step 5
Remind him of several happily married couples who are mutual friends

on 1/15/2009 I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years now, we love eachother and have a great relationship. He talks about how we are made for eachother and we have lived together before until his dad passed away and he needed to move in with his mother because she was alone. We are looking at moving out together again because it was easier on our relationship we are almost 22 and his mother makes him come home before midnight or it is a huge fight. We are not allowed to spend the night with each other and I am getting really put off. he bought me a ring 2 years ago as a promise that we will be together but we both decided we weren't ready for marriage. I feel as if I am now. We go to our friends weddings and it makes me depressed that I do not have that. I have hinted at us getting engaged and then getting married about 2 years down the road. I just do not want to get into financial situations if w

on 12/17/2008 Oh good lord. You have to get to know them before you marry them, and THAT'S why it takes that long to be ready. You can't just go off and marry someone you've only known a year or less. It won't last that way.

on 11/16/2008 My Boyfriend and I have been together for over two years now, he is the man of my dreams I am very in love with him and I know that I only want him for the rest of my life. My 3 year old daughter from a previous relationship has called him daddy for over a year now, and he loves being her daddy he brags about her all of the time. we have been living together for about a year now and he reciently asked me to move back to his home town with him, but I am terrified to do this without a commitment. He talks about our future together all of the time, but wont do anything about it. We just found out a month ago that we are expecting baby #2 and now I am beyond scared. I am not so much concerned about getting married, I just want some form of commitment to show that he is ok with moving our life together to another level. I watch all of our friends getting engaged and married and I am rea

on 11/2/2008 i wish you luck ericka. please come back and update. i hope true love finds a way.
on another note, i think that marriage is definately something to look forward to, but not to demand. if your guy isnt ready right now, try and enjoy the present. would it be worth leaving him if he doesnt propose right now?? probably not, or you wouldnt be with him. think about your life right now, isnt it so much more enjoyable just being with him?? then hy demand a ring?? as long as you both are committed and in love, the relationship should be enough. and as long as he knows that you are marriage bound, it will be on his mind, and when he is ready, (as it often takes guys longer to become ready for marriage)it will happen.
