How to let him know that I'd say yes if he asked me to marry him?

Question

I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and we are very much in love. I want to marry him. He has indirectly brought up marrying me before (ex. "If someday I'm a lucky man...", things like that). I want him to ask me and I want him to know that I'd say yes. How do I do this in a non-pushy,non-awkward way?

The reason I ask is because I know someone who recently got engaged and while I'm very happy for them, I would not want the way they got engaged to be the way I do. They had an engagement ring picked out and everything.

Any advise? Should I just leave him a note saying, "Just so you know, I love you, and would say yes" and hope that he knows what I'm talking about? Or something like that? Any better ideas?

When you two are alone and having you time just talk and let him know how much you love him and that you want ot spend your life with him. Tell him that being with him forever would make you the happiest woman in the world. Let your feelings be known and from there he can plan it out. Maybe he just needs to be reassured you want the same things he does.

Answer 3

Let him know your ready for the next step, find a way to bring up the subject. I used to look for signs as we were driving, for bridal boutiques and as we passed I would make a comment like I cant wait until someone asks me to marry them someday, itd be amazing, etc, you know what ever your style is.

Actually, here`s the best answer I ever heard. A friend`s live-in boyfriend of EIGHT years began asking her what she would say if he asked her to marry him. She told him that he`d find out when he asked her!  She, of course, said yes.

Well look at the big picture first. You said you are very in love with him. But does he other plans, big goals, school etc.. or anything else he wants to do before settling? Sometimes it takes us guys some time to commit and settle down because you can say we have more we want to do. Your still young, I am not discouraging you are nothing, But think about this really really good if your ready to settle down with him forever. Second if you are not living with him yet try to live with him for a while to see how he is if you already did and your still sure he is the one well you can proceed. But like I said sometimes us guys it takes time to either pick up the signals or were not ready to settle. Here are some tips, tell him you love him dearly, assure him that you really love him, talk about family also before mention your kind of ready for kids., if you want them. give him hints that you are serious about him and ready to settle. Mention your friends engagement..But try to find out what else does he want in life if he does cause this is waht might have him thinking. Don't say it directly just give hints.

During a close moment tell him you're crazy about him and want to spend the rest of your life with him. Then, drop it. Hopefully, he takes the hint. Good Luck!
