Will He Ever Propose

“Will he ever propose” is a question that many women ask themselves at some point in a relationship. Not knowing if he wants to get married can impact your self esteem, and may even be heartbreaking. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to help make it through this difficult time, and maybe even get him to propose in the process.

Focus on Yourself

If you spend too much time thinking about him and wondering will he ever propose, you may forget to take care of yourself. This is not good for your health and can even be bad for your relationship. Here are some tips to help maintain a healthy balance:

• Enjoy your hobbies. Remember that life you used to have before you started dating? Make time to reconnect with the things you used to enjoy doing. Besides having fun, it will also take your mind off your predicament. Being away from your partner may also cause him to start missing you—and possibly help him realize that he needs to marry you.

• Exercise. Unless you are a very active couple, chances are you no longer go to the gym as much as you used to. Remove the dust from your gym membership card, grab a bottle of water, and head out for a good workout. You’ll feel great afterwards—and staying in shape will not hurt your chances of getting him to propose.

Will He Ever Propose?

Instead of wondering if he’ll ever pop the question, take a look at the possible reasons why he hasn’t got down on one knee yet. You may find that there is a good explanation.

• Money. It’s expensive to get married, and it all starts with one the biggest expenses of all—the engagement ring. Your partner may be trying to save money so he can buy you the perfect diamond. If you suspect this is the reason he is waiting, you have a choice. You can patiently wait for that nice ring, or let him know that size doesn’t matter and you’ll gladly accept any ring he gives you.

• Career. Men usually like to feel secure in their career before proposing. He has a provider instinct, and that instinct tells him that he should only marry you once he can take care of you. Even if you make far more money than he does, the feeling may still be present within him.

• Loss of Independence. He may love you with all of his heart and has no desire to be with another woman, but if he is very independent, the thought of settling down can be discouraging. Ease his concerns by telling him the freedoms he will keep--and the new ones he will gain--once you are married.

• Fear of divorce. It could be he hasn’t proposed because he’s afraid it will lead to the eventual destruction of your relationship. While you may need to help him overcome this fear before he will propose, at least it means he plans on taking his vows seriously.

• He’s unsure about you. This is the one that causes you to lose sleep at night, but it needn’t be an emotional rollercoaster. Realize that having been together long enough to even think about marriage is a good sign. It also means that he takes marriage seriously; as he contemplates whether you are someone he will devote himself to. Continue having fun together and pretty soon he’ll decide that you really are the one for him.
