Do you think he will propose?

Question

Me and my boyfriend have been seeing eachother for 4 years. We are extrememly happy, hardly ever argue, everyone says we are the cutest couple ever and we will get married etc.

He suprised me with a Paris trip about 6 months a go, but we go in October 2008, so we havnt gone yet. His mum and my mum and all our friends were all winding me and him up saying "is there a ring involved in this trip?!" etc etc. They really did go on a bout it for ages.

Then we went out for a meal, and I told him, now I dont want you to propose to me in Paris because I want it to be a complete suprise, and everyone has just spoilt it. Now it hasnt been mentioned in months and I'm wondering if he will still do it, because I would love him to, and maybe hes asked everyone to shut up about it so he can do it?

Im 20, hes 25, Im in Uni and hes in a full-time job, we do not live together but we belong with eachother....what dya think?? I would love him to propose...but dont think he will now :(

Answer 1

He probably was planning to propose in Paris, before everyone started flapping their big mouths about it, LOL.  Don't worry- it sounds like he's ready to.  He'll do it when you least expect it- in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he proposes even before your trip!!  (But hey, don't get mad if the trip comes and goes with no proposal...you asked for a complete surprise and he's going to give it to you, even if he has to wait longer now...)

Answer 2

What an idiot - you should wait to be asked - you don't even know he was going to ask.

Answer 3

After you asked him not to, he may be confused if he wants to. The best thing to do is tell him "if you do ever ask me to marry you just let it be whenever your heart is ready, Paris, in a dump, or on the moon. That I love you no matter what".

You get the idea, that sometimes it's best to just let things be. I knew my man got the ring (I helped pick it out) and I knew he was possibly going to ask soon and I even if I knew the minute would have not have taken away from my joy. As much as I knew, I still couldn't talk when he got on his knee and proposed, I was too happy... when he asked my mouth dropped and I couldn't speak for a second so I nodded yes first and hugged him. I know you want it to be special  but I'm trying to say that no matter how or when it will be as long as he has his heart in it.

Hope this helps, God bless and have a wonderful trip.

Answer 4

i think if he wanted to propose to you he would, regardless of what people are saying. you are the only person that knows if he's ready, also you don't really know how compatible you are until you live with somebody, i think it's a good idea to live together first, plus you are only 20yrs old and at uni, do you think you are ready for marriage?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

If you want him to propose, stop trying to dictate when and where he's going to do it.  Let him do it himself!  He will do it when he thinks the time is right and when he thinks you will appreciate it most.

Answer 7

I say don't get your hopes up at all! It would be perfect but still...Go to Paris and just have a good time you will forget about it and then it will be a suprise  if he does

Don't ask him about rings or talk about weddings you might scare him off

GOOD LUCK!

I have been with my boyfriend now 4 and half years. Living together 1 year and 5 months. We went ring shopping yesterday...and I'm still not gonna get my hopes up just in case.

Answer 8

You need to politly tell your parents and family to stop talking about rings and engagments.

And you need to forget about him proposing, its never going to be a surprise if everytime he mentions going away for a weekend break, or going for a romantic meal you think 'hes going to propose'.

He'll ask you when hes ready and it will be worth the wait and if you take my advice it'll be a lovely surprise for you!

Good Luck it sounds like you are in a lovely relationship!

Answer 9

Maybe he feels forced to if everyone else keeps going on about it.

If you love this guy so much ...you ask him.

Answer 10

Should have kept it hush hush. Some guys are so shy when confronted on plans they have. I would say something like this-  I hope this trip to Paris is special i would love for it to be special- and see if that helps. Though Evil said no, give it a shot. You've got nothing to lose.

Answer 11

If you have been with him since you were 16, I would think you were the best person to know whether he will propose but honestly if I were you I would have a break from each other and spread your wings a bit. If after a few months you still feel the same way then I would propose to him, but maybe he feels the time isn't right with you at Uni and is waiting til you have finished and found a job. 20 is very young to get engaged and married and you are obviously a clever girl, so why rush it?
