He is displaying all the signs of being ready to propose but still no ring?

Question

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 year, living together for just under 2 years. We are very happy and secure and very much in love. We talk a lot about our future together and we both want the same things from life. A few months ago I told him that I would like us to start a family. He said that he also would like us to have children but would prefer it if we waited until we got married. At the time we were waiting for the sale of his property to complete and he said that once the completion went through we should start making the "next plans". The property sold over 2 months ago and he still has not brought the subject up again. Has he changed his mind or am I just being impatient?

Answer 1

rings are expensive maybe he wants to save up a bit first

Answer 2

I completely now how you feel, my now husband was showing all the signs that he was going to propose on Valentines day of 2007, and he didn't, I was beside myself because he was showing all the "signs". About 4 months later he completely suprised me with an amazing ring that he saved up for. I know its hard but try and wait it out a few more months than bring it up. Also if you love him enough to marry him, than the wait will be worth it.

Answer 3

It is okay for you to talk with him about this and find out.  He may be nervous and need a little nudge.  Or, he may be looking for deals on the ring he picked out and then trying to plan the best way of proposing.

My boyfriend spent a month finding the ring and once he had it, put off proposing for another month.

Answer 4

Sounds like he's just totally comfortable with shacking up, and doesn't need or want anything more than that. He knows you'll wait....

Answer 5

unless he's acting really strange and u feel the spark has gone id say ur just being impatient. he's probably planning something

Answer 6

Maybe he's giving his ring to someone else!

Answer 7

Give him time, he'll ask when hes ready.

Be patient

Good Luck

Answer 8

If you are living with him.................he is bound to say yes....or rather to ask you to. When my now wife first moved in with me that was the hard part.......purposing was easy. It just like asking...what do you want to eat? (Just a little more emotional.)

Answer 9

You're being impatient.

Just because you talked about it doesn't mean it will all happen right away.  The big problem with relationships is that someone eventually pushes for marriage when the other is not yet ready.  Let him do it on his timeline.  At this point, since you two are already living together he probably also doesn't see the urgency of doing it all right away.

Answer 10

lol

Answer 11

Women have to understand that there is no magic store where you can walk in, pick out the ring that was made for them, and get it for free.

Once a guy starts thinking about the next step, it can take anywhere from one month to one year before he's completely ready to propose.  You need to give him time to go through his process.  I went ring shopping with my guy because I know a lot about diamonds and he knows nothing (nor had interest to learn).  With me, it took 6 months.

Answer 12

Just be patient.  I know, easier said that done, right?  Even though you have been living together for almost 2 years, marriage is a BIG step.  It is a forever commitment.  

My husband and I lived together for about 1 year before he proposed.  I too was getting really anxoius about starting our lives together... as it turns out he was busy planning the most amazing proposal ever.  

Your time will come, it is apparent that he loves you and is committed to the relationship!

Answer 13

depends on how he thinks. if on major decisions does he take a lot of time to decide. maybe he is waiting for the right moment to ask the question? especially if he is a romance freak.

Answer 14

He's probably planning it .Mine did the same thing.

Answer 15

No Not at all... simple he might waiting for you to ask the question again... and start making the plans... go ahead and talk  to him :)
