How long would you wait for a proposal? I will turn 32 this week, he is 38 and lived together 2yrs. We have been together just over 4yrs. It was a LDR for the first 2yrs. He says that he wants to spend his life with me but it seems he may continue to 'say' these things but never actually take action. I brought this issue up over 1yr ago to ensure we weren't wasting each other's time and he still hasn't even taken me shopping to see what styles of rings I might like and obviously hasn't taken action and proposed. How do you know if someone is stalling or they are actually planning to propose one day? I would appreciate some advice, as my head can't seem to think clearly about this anymore and I can't just go with the flow as I used to (I am not getting any younger)!
In saying this, marriage is scary to me so I feel I need to be with somebody that wants to get married and will take ACTION to marry me, as I may need a gentle push to get married. I don't like to do anything unless I know a person definitely wants to do it with me. I am even like this with friends or meeting new people (if they dislike me I immediately avoid them).
Thanks!
