When you are asking yourself how to get a man to propose to you the logical approach may be to ask him when he plans on doing it.
To us women that seems natural.
We're in a loving, fulfilling relationship with the man of our dreams and the next step is obviously marriage.
The problem with that is that not all men see things the same way.
If you are involved with a man who skirts around the issue of a more serious commitment and you are ready to walk down the aisle, you're likely pretty frustrated.
Luckily there are things you can do that will encourage him to take the next step so things can move forward.
Before you do anything else in your quest to get a marriage proposal stop talking or hinting about it.
Leaving bridal magazines in full view is not a subtle way to get him to pop the question.
He knows what you are doing and if he's even the least bit resistant to the idea, it will make him pull back more.
The same is true of talking non-stop about recently engaged or married friends.
He gets the picture.
He knows you want to get married, but if it's not where he's at right now, he's not going to be out shopping for a diamond ring.
No more marriage talk allowed.
This one act alone is going to help you get him to commit.
When a woman makes it clear that she's desperate to get married, she loses a little of her appeal to her man.
He wants to be the one chasing you.
He wants to be the one who catches you and if you make it abundantly clear that he's already got you all wrapped up in a nice, neat, little package, it's much less appealing to him.
If you stop talking about marriage and pull back just a tiny bit, he'll start thinking marriage.
You need to be subtle about this though so the best approach is to pull back just a bit and make yourself a little less available to him.
Whenever a man senses that there's some distance between him and the woman he loves he'll work harder to keep her.
