Signs You Are Getting Proposed to?

[Kerry]

there are all kinds of signs that someone is about to propose. however, almost all of them are all for CD couples. for anyone who is LD I think they've got to be different. for those of you who have been proposed to while you've been LD where there any signs your SO gave you that you either noticed or now after looking back you know recognize?

I haven't been proposed to yet, hopefully soon. One thing I did notice he said to me that maybe a sign is: " I don't know what I could do without you.'' He never said it before so maybe it is a sign.

My SO straight up told me that he'd propose within the next couple years. I think that's a pretty big sign

When I went onto amazon on his computer to find something I saw down the bottom where it had the area "recommended for you" and it was all engagement rings That was a pretty big hint!

My SO and I talk about marriage already and he just tells me that he'll propose at the right time. I think I see it as a sign if he comfortably talks about marriage.

We were on the train the other day and I don't remember the conversation but he said he isn't getting married anytime soon. I think thats a pretty big hint that I'm not getting proposed to in the near future.

He's a bit mixed in that way. He's comfortable talking about marriage, he can see himself married to me etc. But there's a list of things he wants to accomplish before he does (like buying a house, getting a better job etc) and he believes he won't feel ready until he does. Some of these goals are relatively simple to achieve, but some might take quite awhile (he's nowhere near eligible to buy a house and probably won't be in the next few years) and I think as he gets older, he's starting to distinguish what's realistic and what isn't. Like, he'd like to get married and have a kid by 35 (he'll be 30 in a few months) but then, he probably won't be able to buy a house by then. So he knows he'll have to revise his goal list.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get proposed next year. After that, neither of us can tell yet. He does know that I want to get married and won't wait for ages, so I guess he'll have to make that decision within the next couple of years.

Im not married yet, but my SO told me we will be getting married. And that when I tell him I want to be married with kids within 5 years, that I can have all that. But we've talked about marriage early on, when we were still getting to know each other I asked him if he wanted to be married one day and wanted kids. So that was something good to know. That he wanted a future some day. And then when he was here he told me he wishes he could ask me to marry him. And we did even go to a jewellery store and measure my fingers lol

So for me, the signs are very blunt haha

My SO and I talk about getting married and he told me he plans to marry me, but as for signs of when I dont want there to be any When and if he does decide to pop the question I want it to be a complete surprise.

My SO and I have already talked a bunch about marriage but there are a few factors in the way of making that possible quite yet, but I'm thinking within 2-5 years it will happen, I don't really care when though, I just know he's the one I want to marry. Though recently two people I know have gotten engaged so it's put me in quite the engagemenet frenzy, even though I know it really can't happen that quickly. So for me, I see talking about marriage and knowing your SO wants to marry you one day and knowing how quickly he'd be able to make it happen (given financial resources, visa times, have both of you met each other's parents, etc), gives you a good indicator on when you'll get married. It's nice to know how your partner feels about marriage while in a LDR because it gives both of you something to hold onto and dream about.

my BF the opposite, is against marriage etc. however he has become more soppy and romantic since we've become LDR- so i wonder if the old adage of "absence makes heart grow fonder" has changed his mind. theres been 2 occasions since he's hinted towards the future. and for him thats a big step! lol

We talk about getting married and our future together but being a realist I know that not all relationships lasts. I don't think there are any true signs other than a man in front of you with an engagement ring in his hand.

[Zapookie]

We've skipped over the topic of marriage a couple of times in order to get a visa for him to stay here but I would rather it be traditional and be proposed to. We mutually agree that we want to live together first for a while before any of that happens, and he should be here on a working visa within the first half of 2012. So hopefully within the next couple of years

I dislike seconding this, but I completely agree.

thanks for your input everyone! my bf and I talk about marriage all the time. he's even talked about eloping. he didn't ask me what I wanted for Christmas, although I asked him, so I read somewhere that this might be a sign that he might propose to me. I would like to return home in 2012 as an engaged lady.
