Why wont he ask me to marry him?

If you love him, then you should be with him. Confront him with this. He might have just gotten used to the relationship. If he just nods you off, he is not serious about the relationship.

If he loves you and you love him then you will get married when the time is right.  However, you have to be patient, if his marriage ended badly (emotionally that is) then he might not be ready to commit just yet.  You should not take that as a sign that he does not love you or doesn't want to be with you.  Just go slow and keep talking to eachother and it will work out the way it was intended to.

You may never get the question - does he know you're waiting for it?  You may want to find out his feelings on it - and on kids and money and a bunch of other things that can be dealbreakers down the road.  \n\nEven then, you have no guarantees. I dated a guy for 5 1/2 years and he never asked (his mom didn't approve).  He said we'd get married eventually but he never got around to it and I gave up on him.\n\nHappily the gods of good fortune were keeping him from proposing so that I would be available when I met my future husband.  I dated my husband for less than a year when he asked - and we've been married for nearly 7 years.\n\nThings have a way of working out for the best if you don't force a square peg in a round hole.  Also, see if your parents like *him*.  When I told my mom I was dumping the momma's boy, my mom said "Well, I knew if you gave him enough rope he'd hang himself with it".  And when my parents met my future hubby - they were *so* excited it was like *they* were dating him. LOL.\n\ngood luck - and don't rush into anything - make sure it's a perfect fit!

I hope he asks you!!! That would be great!  I hope the best for you.  Thats so great that he likes your son too!  He probably will ask you soon... and I hope he does!  It sounds like he might.  But i understand what your saying about gettin ur hopes up.  That would suck.  SO.. if he doesnt ask... then maybe further along in ur relationship... talk to him about if he would ever marry u and maybe hint to him that ur ready to marry him. Good luck!

First of all, religious differences are a major concern. If his religion forbids marrying out, you won't have a happy marriage as far as his parents go... Take that into SERIOUS consideration.\n\nNow the way he treats you, I mean, I know you love him but he really doesn't seem that interested in you. Why would he want to wait for five years? He thinks his parents will somehow approve of you in five years and now they just can't see the situation clearly?\n\nSend me a private message if you want to discuss this further. Just give this some really serious thought, marriage is forever and the last thing you need is a divorce a few months after getting married AFTER waiting years and years!

If something is telling you to wait, then wait. If he really wants to marry you-he'll wait too. Trust your gut.

Well, if you have offered, and he has said no, then he must be gay.  Or maybe newly and happily married, but more than likely gay, in which case you'll have to try a little harder.  Men don't pass up opportunities.  Unless maybe you're a junkie with leprosy, then it might be a little bit of a turn off, but he'll come around.

He is just saying that to keep you, he knows thats something YOU want. He most likly doesnt want to get married and if he does not right now. Either you keep letting him ignore you or tell what you want  and follow through dont except anything less than what you deserve, but pressuring him would be the wrong thing to do. I think you should just let him know how you feel and then determine if he is worht waiting for, dont let him slip away if you know he is a good guy.!!!!

No, he's not. Well, he wasn't until few months ago. I don't know know.\n\nWhy? Do you wanna marry him? \nHe's hot.

i think the question here is, do you have someone who you think you may want to marry? never say no to anything that may bring you happiness. love is the best thing in life. if you find it, GRAB IT AND RUN!!! always be open to love. \n       best of luck hun......."E"

If you're even questioning whether or not you should accept or decline, then you are NOT ready for marriage. You need to tell this man that you appreciate it, and you care about him too, but you don't feel marriage or, engagement, is appropriate just yet. Make sure you tell him it doesn't mean you don't want to marry him, eventually, but that right now, at this time in your life, you aren't sure if it's what is best.

Maybe he ...\n\n.. doesn't want to hear all sort of opinions about it from your close friends / family\n\n.. is afraid they will not accept you and he wants to let them know after you get married and there's nothing to do about it anymore\n\n.. he doesn't actualy love you and he doesn't want to tell them couse he's unsure of your relationship and still lookin'..\n\n.. he thinks you are bad for his image/reputation but he loves you so he just keeps you as a secret\n\n... or another 10 million reasons.. :P

It's all about tradition.  Not only is the man traditionally the one who initiates the engagement, but men don't usually wear engagement rings, so unless he wants to wear a ring (and you don't), you won't have the traditional "token" to offer him when you ask for his hand.  Just some things to think about!\n\nIf you are more progressive and want to propose, Congratulations... have  at it.  Marriage is a wonderful thing and I hope that it all works out for you.

hi ,yes its fine to ask a guy to marry you ,but its not very nice what he said to you ,its not his turn ?? how many times does he want to get engaged ?? this could all to do with the MALE EGO thing !! he asked someone and probably got hurt ,and doesnt want to get hurt again ,marriage when it comes down to it is a bit of paper and a ring ,what you have this now is him and you and a future together,enjoy that and things will work out and anyway you never know he could be the one to ask you  good luck have a greeat life together XX

I think you need to get over yourself.  You can still get married and do the things you want to do.  But make sure you are being fair to him.  Figure out what priority is first and make sure he knows it and if he is truly worth your time and hand in marriage he will help you keep that priority at the top.  What is important to you is important to him...that kind of thing.
