You two have been going out for a
while now and things couldn’t be any greater. He ticks most of the items on
your “Perfect Match” list, he loves you, is responsible, takes good care of
you, and is generally a good guy.
But why hasn’t he proposed yet?
“What could be holding him back?” you wonder. Besides the obvious question of
whether a man is interested in sealing your relationship, there are some
telltale signs that he is ready to pop the famous four-lettered question.
Knowing that people and their
relationships are not completely subject to being black and white like the
points raised in articles like this, it is important that as you read through
our list, you check them side-by-side with the experiences in your relationship
and the man you’re dating.
- He Discusses Important Issues Concerning Both Of You
If his discussions with you
surpass shallow matters and actually cover important topics such as your goals,
dreams, starting a family with you, a future with both of you in it together,
having kids, etc then this guy could mean serious business.
Additionally, if his discussions
include plans bothering around “we”, meaning the both of you, and not just “I”
revolving around him, then this could mean he is hinting at a future of which
you are part of.
It’s important to note that this
point on its own doesn’t conclusively mean this guy wants to marry you.
However, it definitely hints that he is thinking of building a more serious
relationship with you. And essentially, it will be up to you to figure out what
exactly his intentions are.
- Your Relationship Is Public Knowledge
Do not confuse this to mean that
your relationship is plastered on billboards or social media. Your relationship
being public knowledge means that you two have a relationship where the key
people in your life such as; friends, parents, family, colleagues [optionally],
and people of interest, know about your relationship. When a man is comfortable
with having your relationship in the open, it means he might be heading towards
the marriage road with you.
Again, this point on its own is
inconclusive to the fact that he may actually “wife” you. We’ve all heard of
cases where certain Yoruba Demons [a.k.a heartbreakers] make their relationship
with a girl public without the intention of marrying her. Yes guys, deep sigh.
- He’s Dating You Exclusively
If your man is dating you
exclusively, then he must mean business. Then again, this could mean otherwise.
However, it is a pro and indication that a man’s ready to settle down.
Only a serious guy would have his
attention fully focused romantically on you.
- He Mentions Wanting To Marry You
Contrary to what some may think,
a marriage proposal doesn’t just pop out of thin air.
Most men who are ready to settle
down would have had discussions with their significant orders relating to
marriage before actually proposing. Remember that marriage is designed to be a
life-long commitment and no one would want to go into it if they weren’t sure
about the person they’d be spending the rest of their life with.
- Your Opinion Matters To Him
Does he take your opinion
seriously? If he does, he’s probably ready to settle down with you. But as
usual, don’t get it twisted as this is not conclusive.
Men are naturally engineered to
be full of ego and it would take a man who deeply respects you and sees you in
his life long term to take your opinions seriously.
At the end of the day, do not
take marriage advice from us as we are not marriage counsellors. However, we do
know a thing or two about relationships.
