Making sure he’s ready: dropping those engagement hints
When he’s got you around all the time, or you live together, sometimes your guy can get stuck in his way. You’re ready and waiting for him to pop the question, but it seems like he hasn’t even thought of it — so why not drop a few hints to your man so that he knows that you’re truly ready to become engaged?
Angelic Diamonds has the engagement solutions that you need to get him asking, retailers of bespoke marquise engagement rings, we give you the perfect hints so that he knows you’re definitely ready.
Double date with married couples
It’s the same old story, your husband-to-be is worried about the prospect of engagement and marriage. However, if you hang out with other married couples, this may give him the confidence to pop the question. This will also make him realise that you’re comfortable with him being around others in more serious relationships.
When spending time with other married couples, he’ll realise that marriage has its up and downs, but he’ll also realise that it’s you that he wants to be with! Although men who have parents that are divorced sometimes struggle to trust this commitment, replacing negative feelings with positive ones in this type of environment may help to bring him around to your way of thinking.
A girlfriend can also be a best friend
Admittedly it can be difficult to keep the spice all the time within a relationship, and you can easily spiral into a routine where you see each other on the same days, or have a date night on the same evening every month; never fall into a routine, and make sure that you can be your partner’s go-to guy as well as a girlfriend. If you’re constantly being left behind for the guys, then this is going to put a strain on his ability to propose and take you seriously.
If you can be the girlfriend that’s also a best friend to him, then your relationship’s going to really go the distance. Involve yourself in his hobbies, if you can be part of his whole life, rather than just someone he spends time with, then he’ll feel like you’re indispensable. Once you get to this point in your relationship, then he’ll feel like proposing, as he can’t spend his time without you!
Show some tough love
Although many don’t like to do this, sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind. If you don’t see your relationship heading in the right direction, and things are flatlining, try and find his pulse again by telling him you may move out.
We get it, you don’t want to act too dramatic, so why not spend more time with your girls – or alternatively, start make decisions without considering him – he’ll want to be included in everything by the time you know it. Although he knows that you’re always there for him, this will make him feel that he isn’t being as included as he should be, and he’ll start to wonder why. Keeping him on his toes in this way will make him realise that he needs to put the effort in (by proposing!) so that he can get your undivided effort and attention in the future.
Communication is key
Some people use every trick in the book when it comes to relationships, but if you can be honest with each other, then you can’t go wrong. If you want to get engaged, then why not talk to him about why it’s important to you.
By explaining why you want to get engaged, he’ll soon realise how much he means to you. Sometimes people have the same fears and doubts within a relationship, but they are just too afraid to address them with each other. By talking about your future together, he’ll know that you want to be a part of it. By giving him that gentle nudge in the right direction, you may just be engaged before you know it.
