There's nothing worse than wasting your time, which is why it's always nice to know that your relationship is heading towards something more. When you're in a relationship, it's always important to give your partner space and the right to their own opinions. This means that you should never pressure somebody into marriage, but instead, let this thought come to your boyfriend organically. You wouldn't want to scare your boyfriend off with the promise of eternal commitment now would you?
All too often, women have a set number in mind for when they should get married. Should they reach this number without having gotten engaged, this can cause them some inner turmoil. Sure, getting engaged at 25 years old sounds grand, but it's not always the most practical or even logical choice to make at such a young age.
Are you worried that you're devoting your life to a relationship that is never going to move on to the next step? If so, we can help you figure out if your lover is ever going to pop the darn question. In just a few minutes, you'll find out if he's ever going to make an honest woman out of you. Good luck!
Have you hinted that you want to get married?
You know there's a problem with your relationship when your boyfriend changes the subject whenever you bring up marriage. Often, people wait too long to breech this subject with their loved one, only to find out that they have no intention of ever getting married.
How long have you been dating your boyfriend?
If you've been dating your boyfriend for about two weeks and are already thinking about getting engaged — it's safe to say that you have a problem. Getting married isn't something that people like to think about at the beginning of a new relationship. So cool it lady!
Have you met your boyfriend’s parents?
More often than not, men are reluctant to introduce their girlfriend to their parents, and this is because it truly officializes their relationship. Chances are, if you've met your beau's mom and dad — he's serious about his future with you.
Does his family like you?
If your boyfriend is serious about his relationship, then he's going to ask you to meet his family. However, if his family does not like you for some reason or another, this can put you in a tight spot.
Does he get along with your family?
It's always a bad sign when your family members aren't fond of your partner, which is why it can be beneficial for them to meet them at the begging of your relationship. This way, if they do not get along, there's plenty of time for them to set the record straight.
Has your boyfriend asked you to move in with him?
After a couple of months/years of dating someone whom you love, it's only normal for them to ask you to move in with them. Living with your partner is a good indication that he will one day ask for your hand in marriage.
Do you and your boyfriend have a pet?
You know your boyfriend is committed to you when he agrees to raise an animal with you. Agreeing to own a pet is a 50/50 partnership, which is why this can prove that he is in it for the long haul.
How often do you see your boyfriend?
There are some people who are truly independent, meaning that they like to have their space more often than not. This can cause them to only have enough time to see their lover once or twice a week. Are you one of these people?
Is this his first longterm relationship?
It goes without saying that everyone's first longterm relationship is the most memorable. However, this doesn't mean that it can withstand the hands of time. Are you your boyfriend's first-ever girlfriend, or did he date around before choosing to commit to you?
Have you ever caught him flirting/texting with other girls?
It's never a good sign when you see your boyfriend smirking at his phone — especially not if he's acting secretive at the same time. Have you ever caught your boyfriend texting or hitting on another girl? If so, you might want to think twice about saying "yes" if he pops the question.
How often do you and your boyfriend make love?
Personal question alert! Feel free to skip this question if it makes you feel awkward. Anywho, most couples would agree that the key to a healthy relationship is constant love-making, and this is because it can help make a couple happy, healthy, and stress-free.
Does he cook for you?
If you're always the one cooking up meals and cleaning the kitchen, you should be asking yourself if you're a girlfriend or a mom. Today's couples should split these tasks right down the middle. Does your lover ever cook for you?
Have you met his work family?
Our work families are who we spend the majority of our time with, which is why introducing them to our lovers can be a must. Do you get invited to your boyfriend's staff parties? If so, it's obvious that he enjoys having you around.
Do you get along with his friends?
You know you've found 'the one' when you can hang out with his friends without feeling intimidated or uneasy. Often, people pretend to like their lover's friends at the beginning of a relationship, only to spill the beans when it's far too late.
Do you guys text each other when you’re apart?
There are some people who absolutely hate texting during all hours of the day, which is why it's an important topic to breach with a lover. Are you with your boyfriend every single day? If you are, you probably don't want to be texting him when you're apart.
How often does he tell you he loves you?
If your boyfriend has never told you that he loves you, then it's pretty absurd for you to be inquiring about marriage. Sure, he might act like he loves you, but you can never be sure if he doesn't utter those 3 special words.
Are any of his friends engaged or married?
It's only normal for someone to begin thinking about marriage when all of their friends and family members are tying the knot. Chances are, if your boyfriend is getting invited to wedding after wedding, he's thinking about marriage.
Does he avoid the subject of marriage?
If you've been dating your boyfriend for over a year, it's only normal for you to want to find out if you're both on the same page in regards to life plans. However, if your boyfriend jumps out the window every time you mention marriage — you might have a problem.
Are his parents happily married?
It's only normal for children of divorce to view marriage in a skeptical way, which is why you shouldn't push your views on marriage too hastily. Are your lover's parents happily married? If so, he might be more inclined to wanting to marry you.
Does he want to have a family?
Has your beau ever mentioned that he wants to be a dad someday? If so, you're probably wondering at what age he wants to make this a reality. Just know, however, that wanting a family doesn't necessarily mean wanting to get married.
Do you ever speak about baby names?
Most women love to pick out their baby names from a young age, however, not many men think about doing the same thing. Do you already have your baby names picked out? If so, have you shared them with your lover?
Are you planning to buy a house with your boyfriend?
When you have your head on your boyfriend's chest, do you ever talk about about growing old together someday in a cute little cottage? If so, it's safe to say that he's picturing a future with you in it. Are you guys planning to buy a house?
Has he ever given you reason not to trust him?
While it is ill-advised, there are many men and women who stay with their partners despite not trusting them. A lack of trust can quickly turn a relationship sour, which is why having complete faith in your partner is best.
Are his friends good people?
Have you ever dated someone only to be repulsed by them after meeting his friends? If so, you should probably know that that's how your boyfriend acts behind closed doors. Chances are, if your lover's friends are douchebags, your partner is a douchebag too.
Is he romantic?
While it isn't a requirement for a man to be romantic, it is always nice to know that your partner is thoughtful. Are you constantly getting mad because your boyfriend doesn't do anything cute for you? If so, don't expect a romantic proposal.
What age group do you belong to?
If you're under 25 years old and feeling impatient in regards to getting proposed to, then you better hold your horses! Times have changed, and now, the modern couple typically gets married in their late twenties. So don't rush into something you aren't ready for.
Does he keep his promises?
There are few things worse than being with someone who promises you the moon but can't even deliver a star. If this statement reminds your of your boyfriend, then stop holding your breath, as he may never pop the question.
Has he ever let you down?
When a friend lets you down, you normally give them a pass, but if they do it again, it's pretty reasonable for you to nib your friendship in the bud. The same should go for your romantic relationships. No one should let you down constantly and get away with it!
Do his friends respect women?
Have you ever overheard you boyfriend and his friends inappropriately talking about women? If so, you might have shrugged this off and told yourself that boys will be boys. While this is true, it's important to marry someone who respects women.
Does he let you walk home alone at night?
Does your boyfriend have a car? If so, he should probably offer you lifts when you go out late at night. While it is obvious that he isn't your chauffeur, asking for a lift home once in a blue moon isn't a crime.
Does he make a mess and leave it behind for you to clean up?
Whether you live with your partner or not makes little difference, as a mess can be made pretty much anywhere. Does your boyfriend come over, make a mess, and then leave it behind for you to clean up?
Do you do his laundry?
This question might bother you, and it should! But believe it or not, over 50% of women do their partner's laundry. However, their partners seldom return the favor. Are you already doing your boyfriend's laundry? If so, you might be in trouble.
Does he hold your hand in public?
There are few things better than walking down the street with your lover and holding their hand. However, not every single couple is going to be fond of this display of affection. Does your boyfriend hold your hand while out in public?
Does he post cute pics of you on social media?
Does your boyfriend love flaunting you around? If so, he probably has plenty of pictures of you on his social media accounts. However, if your lover doesn't post pics of you at all it's probably because he doesn't like other people knowing his business.
Has he seen you without makeup?
If your boyfriend has never seen you without makeup, then it's safe to say that he doesn't now the real you. While it might make you feel vulnerable, it's important for your lover to see what you truly look like in order to feel closer to you.
