How do you get a guy to propose?

Question

Besides smacking him a good one, what would you ladies suggest?

Answer 1

umm by talking abt it and abt ur friends and how they propesed ....then maybe ur guy will also do it .

Answer 2

Don't move in with him, for one thing.

Also, after a sufficient time, make it clear that it is marriage in your future, or you will move on, and mean it.

Answer 3

Give him everything he needs/desires in a woman,except s*x...If it's too late for that stop you will soon find out if YOU really wanted to marry him..........Blessings Yahoo

Answer 4

I personally think my guy proposed because he didn't think I would move in with him otherwise.  That was last month. We're getting married in December.  I gotta agree with the other poster - if they aren't getting any, they are a little more inclined to think about it.

Answer 5

I agree with Bobby!!

Answer 6

Well, my first thought was: You don't. He wants to propose. That is how it worked for me. We moved in together after 8 months of dating. He proposed at 10-months. We are getting married a little over 2 years of dating.

My second thought is: How long have you been dating? Have you communicated to him that you want to get married? Maybe this is a case of he doesn't want to get married...or he doesn't want to marry you.

Sorry.

Answer 7

you cant make him do it.  Its about doing it on his own time, when he's ready and can afford the ring.

If you force it 99% of the time you wont make it to your wedding day

Answer 8

THROW SUM HINTS AT HIM....I DID....IT WORKED!LOL!

PLUS WE WERE LIVING TOGETHER AND I TOLD HIM THAT I DIDN'T WANNA LIVE IN SIN ANY MORE(SHACKING UP) IF WERE GONNA DO THE "PLAYING HOUSE" THING THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL MAKE IT OFFICIAL....OH IT WORKED BABY, AND WE BEEN MARRIED FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND JUST HAVE A BABY GIRL.

Answer 9

give him hints.Like getting a wedding magazine and showing him dresses or rings.

Answer 10

well if u push him in to asking hes only going to fell obligated and it just wont work out he'll ask when he is ready so just wait

Answer 11

If you must 'get' him to do it, he's not ready. So wait, or leave.

Answer 12

NOTHING.  Let it be on his own time and his own free will.  If you push it you ruin the beauty of a proposal.  And if he doesn't maybe you guys are not right for each other.  PUSHING is the worse thing you can do.

Answer 13

Been there.  My husband and I were friends for 7 years and dated on and off.  I wanted to strangle him.  Hints don't work.  I'd sit down and have the difficult conversation--"I want to be married and have a family some day.  Is that what you want?"  I didn't have to give him an ultimatum, but I continued to make it very clear that I wanted to get married and that if he didn't see that in our future he should let me know so I could move on.

He was scared of the commitment but he came around.  We've just been married 4 months, and its been fantastic.

I'd just make sure he knows that's what you want...if he gives you excuses or admits he doesn't want marriage, you need to do your best to move on and find someone who can give you what you want.
