How long is too long to wait to be proposed to?
I think you've both waited a reasonable amount of time that you should know by now if you are ready to commit to each other. At your age, 2-3 years of dating should be enough to figure out whether you've found the person you want to commit to. Of course, there are no absolute time limits, but if one of the relationship partners really wants to get married, dating for any longer than five years without an engagement seems a little ridiculous. Yes, you're still young, but 24 and 25 is certainly not TOO young to get married. I dated a young man through all of high school and college. He constantly said he was going to propose soon, but he never did. I wish I had been brave enough to break it off earlier when I realized he wasn't yet ready for the kind of commitment that I wanted in a relationship. Instead, I wasted 9 1/2 years of my life waiting for a proposal that never came. While ultimatums are a bad idea, it's perfectly reasonable to let your boyfriend know what you want in a relationship and let him know that if he doesn't want the same thing, it's time you both go your separate ways, no matter how painful that may be. It's similar to discovering that you want kids and he doesn't, or that your dream is to teach English in China while his is to join the local police department. If two people want vastly different things out of life, it's often better for them to find other people to marry whose goals are more similar to their own. Say something like, "Marriage is really important to me. I love you, and I'd like to see us getting married within the next couple of years. I need to know if you are at that point as well. If you're not, that's okay, but I need to be with someone who is ready for the same kind of commitment that I'm ready for." It's possible that he is ready to get married, too, and that he is waiting for the next major holiday/anniversary to surprise you with a proposal. If you've had this conversation, though, and have given him several months after that to propose, and he still hasn't -- then it's time to walk away.
Would you break up with someone, because he won't propose?
Do you love him? Can you see yourself with him for the rest of your life? Don’t be in a rush for him to propose. If he’s been faithful, caring and has treated you as if you’re already his wife, then there’s no need to leave him. A proposal will come in time. Forcing the issue isn’t going to make things better.Finding someone who thinks the world of you and is passionately in love with you is not a man you leave because his proposal time isn’t in tune with yours’. When the time does come for him to do so, you’re going to feel a bit silly because you wrote this.
How do I propose to a girl who is already committed?
I would suggest you to 'go and propose her!'. After all proposing is a way of telling her,that you are attracted to her. Its only bad if you are stalking/forcing her to love you. Have a brave heart though, she may decline it or worst case block you from her life. But hey it gives you a chance to move over it and continue your search for 'my girl'. Its better than bottling up your feelings and wasting your time in dilemma.How do I propose? Well traditionally they are doing this through love letters, if you are strong enough to endure the physical abuse then tell her face to face and brace yourself for some slaps.
What if he won't propose after 8 years? In my mid 30's, we are in love but he won't take the next step.
Time for an ultimatim. Either take the next step with me or leave. Otherwise your whole life will go by and you will have wasted it on a person who wants everything his way, so far he has gotten his own way for 8 years. Seems its either time for you to get what you want from him, or to move on and find someone who is willing to put your concerns, desires, hopes and dreams of a future as a priority. The person you are currently with does not prioritize your concerns only what works for him. That does not define love, it defines selfishness.
How do you get a aries man to commit?
If you want him to commit, let him propose and let him do the running. The main thing is to let him take control basically and just follow. If you try to boss an Aries, it won't work and it won't take long to find out either. Butter him out and he'll give you whatever you want. He may be a little judgmental, jump to conclusions and does things without thinking but be diplomatic and he'll appreciate you. Whatever you do, be on your guard with other males around you because he can be jealous so let him control and arrange things. Also, if you need to criticize him, don't do it in public, don't act possessive or clingy because he can't stand this. Be natural and be yourself and let him have his way.
Capricorn Men & Commitment?
Being Capricorn is ruled by slow-moving Saturn, they will want to take the time to be absolutely sure before they commit because with Saturn involved, they prefer to marry only once. Aquarians are usually impatient, but most Capricorns do not allow that to bother them. You will have to wait until he is good and ready.
Why won't my boyfriend propose?
I've been with my boyfriend for 8 and a half years. He even moved 200 miles to live with me, 4 years ago. We are committed and plan everything even kids. We talk about getting married and what our wedding will be like. We are also saving for a house. Yet despite how close and happy we are, he still hasn't proposed?! I find I'm starting to resent him. I get cross and upset. But I don't feel like I can bring it up because I did a year ago and he went on about how he can't afford a ring. But then he buys other expensive things for himself? Also he now has a good amount saved. So how long do I keep waiting for him to propose? I feel humiliated when we are constantly asked are you engaged? Oh why not?! It really gets me down and makes me feel like I'm not special. All our friends who have been together for a lot less time are engaged or married! What's wrong with me? I feel like I might need to set a limit and leave if it still hasn't happened. I don't want to sign a mortgage if he can't even marry me! I feel like an idiot whose wasted all my youth! Help..
How do I get Aries guy to commit?
I have been seeing this Aries guy for about 4 months. We hang out, have fun together, no arguments. I was wondering what it takes to get him to move our status to something more serious. Suggestions from Aries and/or people who've dated them? Thanks.
How long is too long to wait for a wedding proposal?
I never know how to answer these types of questions. I dislike the mere concept of waiting for a proposal—as in, “Is he going to pop the question on New Year’s Eve?” and getting all psyched about it only for it not to happen. Real life isn’t a chick flick, SATC episode, or The Bachelor.Such decisions should be mutual, and they should be egalitarian, arising organically without much ado. For me, it was always a given that unless something really messed up the relationship or we discovered a key point of incompatibility, we’d tie the knot eventually. At some point, my now-exes probably said something like, “So do you want to get married?” It wasn’t an if but a when. That I can’t even remember it is a testament to the fact that there wasn’t any actual waiting involved. Sometimes I said yes, but more times I said no.My personal preference would be to “wait” at least two years, perhaps even three, until the limerence phase of the relationship is over—just to be on the safe side. Last thing you want is to ink a legal contract with someone you’re soooo in love with you can’t even see straight. But if there are no discussions by this point, I don’t consider that a favorable sign.I dunno why you haven’t received a proposal. Sometimes you can love someone a whole lot and really enjoy their companionship, but just don’t want to marry them because you foresee a huge liability (legal, financial, lifestyle) at some point down the line. But to find out you do have to talk about these things. Hey, it’s only your life.Best of luck, friend.
