5 Signs Your Man Will Propose

5 signs your man will propose

You’ve been dating him for a while now and although you wouldn’t dare bring it up, you wish he’d give you some kind of hint that a proposal may be in the works very soon.

And you shouldn’t bring it up. If he’s planning on surprising you and you suddenly burst onto the scene with a lecture about how long you’ve been together and why it’s important for you to know where this is all headed, and blah blah blah, chances are, the ring will stay where it is and you’ll have to wait that much longer.

But the great thing about us guys is that we manage to give ourselves away at some point, and if you could just pick up the subtle and not-so subtle signs that we’re just about ready to get down on one knee, you wouldn’t have to spend any time guessing what we’re planning for the future.

Signs your man will propose #1

He discusses the future with you

He wants to know how many kids you’d like to have, where you see yourself in five years from now, how important work is to you, and how religious you are. Essentially, he wants to know if you’re up for marriage.

When hypothetical questions and curiosity about your future begin to creep out of his mouth, there’s a good chance that he’s making plans in his own head and has already decided what he wants out of your relationship.

Of course, his proposal is likely dependent on your answers. After all, if you see yourself traveling all over the world and partying until you’re 45, he’ll probably reconsider choosing you as a life partner. So if you want your guy to marry you, then you’ll have to share the same ideals for the future, and if you don’t, you’re probably better off not being married to him.

Signs your man will propose #2

He begins using “we” and not “I”

Giving up the independence of coming and going as we please is one thing, doing it without realizing it is quite another.

When he starts using “we” when talking about plans, outings, family, and everything else, chances are he has subconsciously made the transition from bachelor to boyfriend and, potentially, to husband.

And if he doesn’t make decisions without consulting you first, it’s because he envisions a future where the two of you are a team, and that is always a good thing.

Signs your man will propose #3

He enjoys spending time with family

He has a very close-knit family and would prefer to spend an afternoon having dinner and great conversation with them than hanging out with his single buddies at a bar.

If that wasn’t great enough, he even enjoys spending time with your sometimes-crazy family. He has no issue being left alone in a room with your mom and dad, and even hangs out with your brother every now and then.

And if you find yourself enjoying these moments more than you anticipated, you can bet that he is feeling the same way.
