How To Get A Proposal

You’ve been together a long time, you know he is the one, but he still hasn’t proposed! What’s a gal to do?  Well there are some things you can do to get him to propose to you. Here are some tips on how to get your partner to propose:

Reassure Him

Believe it or not, guys are scared to propose!  They are afraid of rejection, scared you won’t like the proposal, and just overall scared of such a huge step.  The best thing you can do is to reassure his fears without making him admit he is scared.  Assure him that you see a future with him, give him confidence and tools on how to propose (see below), and be a supportive partner.

Drop Hints

As I mentioned above, you have to give him the confidence and tools he needs to give you a proposal that you will love.  If he is sure he is going to nail it, he is much more likely to do it.  Drop subtle hints like commenting on your friend’s proposal and mention what you like and didn’t like.  Start a Pinterest page called “dream proposal” and leave it up on the laptop when you leave the room.

Don’t Pressure

Dropping hints and reassuring him are great but if you aren’t careful it can turn into pressuring and hounding.  Be very cautious that your hints don’t turn to nagging as that will for sure not get you engaged.

Talk About The Future

Talk about your future in terms of “we.”  Make plans for the future.  Help him to see that a life with you is fun and permanent and he will soon see it too.

Another tip, mention that you saw a cool website like Proposal-Ideas so that he know there are plenty of resources out there for him.
