How To Cope If He Is Yet To Propose

By Brad Wilson


It seems you've known the man in your life for like eternity. You know that both of you are meant to be together. So, what's taking him so long to pop the question?

It is true he may want to marry you, but it is hard to guess what is going on in his head. Maybe he is still trying to figure out the right engagement ring that will suit you. Or it may be that he is waiting for his vacation days to ask your father's permission. Or perhaps he just hasn't decided he's ready for such as big commitment yet.

While you can control what he is thinking, you can always find ways of copping. While you want that wedding ring on her finger like today, you sure don't want to be the girl that cries about it, or show his friends how anxious you are.

The following are a few tips to help you properly cope with the fact that he hasn't proposed yet.

How To Cope When He Doesn't Propose

When Talking To Your Friends, Take Care- There's going to come a time when your friends bring up the topic of engagements and marriage, and the way you react to those questions will determine how stressful the discussion is for you. While it is easy to say I don't know what is taking him so long. I feel like he'll never ask", redirect the question or act indifferent, by saying something like, "He'll propose when he's ready and the time is right". This is especially important if your friends ask while your man is present. He may feel like he's on the spot and pressured for an answer. You will allow him some air for relaxation if you react more indifferently.

Don't Bug Him- Nagging him about when he's going to propose is only going to create stress, and the more stress you put him through, the more confused or angry he is going to feel. He might decide never to propose with your consistent nagging. It is better you allow him some space to think. This will build a stress-free atmosphere you can both live on.

Don't Start Preparation For The Wedding- Almost every girl will want to take a sneak of what her weeding might look like, right? When you may feel better that your man hasn't proposed yet and may easily be tempted to start trying clothes and making arrangements, you may only be getting depressed. After all, all of the vendors, consultants, and boutiques are going to ask you two questions you just can't answer: where's your ring and when's the date?

Exist For Now- You know he loves you and is going to present you with engagement rings and ask you to spend the rest of your life with him eventually, so why stress? Live for the moment. If you think your relationship can do with some sparks, it must be about a proposal, try something different. Take a class, go on a picnic, or learn a new skill together.

If you find yourself struggling with the fact that your man hasn't popped the question yet, don't obsess about it. Use these tips to keep your stress level down and enjoy the dating life you have now, so you can truly enjoy your engagement later on.
