What can you do to entice your man into dropping to one knee? Here are 7 tips so you can handle it.
1. Look at his point of view.
Ask yourself, “Why would he want to propose?”
2. Check that both your needs, emotional and physical, are being met.
There is not a lot of motivation for either of you to get hitched if your sex life lacks any kind of enticement!
3. Talk to him about his feelings towards marriage and validate his opinions.
However, be prepared should his views be completely different to yours. You cannot bully or bribe someone into proposing if they sincerely do not want to.
4. Check with yourself that you don’t actually want him to change.
It shows that likelihood of anyone changing is minimal.
5. Ultimatums don’t work.
Men value and see marriage as a perceived loss of freedom and don’t react positively to be forced into anything. An “ask or go” attitude is just predicting what life may be like when you are married.
6. Completely avoiding the issue and not talking about it makes him think you’re not interested.
Drop a few tactful hints without anxiety or nagging, as this only fuels the fire of the stubborn!
7. Most importantly, DON’T TAKE IT PERSONALLY!
Whether or not your man is ready to take the plunge is not a reflection of, or an attack on, how “loveable” or “wife-like” you are. Love him as he is, love yourself as you are and he’ll be putting a ring on it before you know it!
If he still doesn’t ask, why not ask him yourself?
How did your man propose? Or hasn’t he yet?
