If you are fine with a man who swears he loves you but is afraid of commitment then this article is definitely not for you. If on the other hand you desire him to put a ring on it, then you will soon find out that getting your man to pop the question is no rocket science. Let us show you how.

  1. Be a mom

Even though you are not a mother yet, act like one to your boyfriend. When he notices that you are his go to person when he comes to mom topics. He gets the hint you need to be more than a girlfriend.

  1. Be independent

No man wants to settle for a liability. If he knows you are a shield for him instead of a burden he will want to sign the lifelong contract called marriage.

  1. Always talk about your future together

Every man needs a little push. During your conversations tell him you see yourself being together forever. You can talk about wanting kids and also how you intend to space them. Knowing you are willing and ready to create a family might be the trick to getting him to pop the question.

  1. Make his parents aware of your intention

This might be childish but it definitely works. Why should you keep pestering him when his family can do it for you? But remember you have to be a doting girlfriend to his family first. Drop a statement like “oh! I’m ready but your son keeps resisting”. You will be surprised at how the family will mount pressure on him to propose.

  1. Have multiple male friends

If your boyfriend is jealous but not temperamental this can actually work. If you have dropped series of hint and he still has not proposed, it is best to go on the offensive. Have multiple male friends and he will be inclined to keep you all to himself by giving you the wedding band.

  1. Reference your married friends

Once in a while you can give him a subtle reminder that most of your friends are already married. This will tell him that you really want to join the league of married women.

  1. Demand for him to a put a ring on it

Like Beyonce sang “if you like it then you should put a ring on it”. Do not be shy about letting your man know your long term goals. Let him be aware that if he really wants you and all the benefits that come with you, he should take it to the next level.

  1. Be patient

This might sound like a stretch but it is good to be patient. Every man understands the value of a patient woman. A man that recognises his girlfriend as a patient person will definitely want to keep her no matter what.
