Signs You Should Propose to Your Man!

​Something that’s becoming more popular and accepted, is women proposing to their other halves.

Traditionally, this has always been a male thing to do. Men have gotten down on one knee and popped the question for years, but women are beginning to take the initiative. Have you thought about whether this could be right for you? 

Here are some signs you should propose to your man:

You’ve Been Together a Long Time
If you and your man have been together a long time, then you could consider taking the initiative to propose. What constitutes as a long time can vary from couple to couple. It usually takes a good 3-4 years for the both of you to get to know one another properly. It’s usually in this time the initial feelings of exciting love begin to wear off too, and you progress into mature love. Once these feelings wear off, if you still want to be with one another, it’s a very good sign! However, men tend to feel ready for marriage far after a woman feels ready. Bear this in mind. Don’t rush into anything.

You’re Both Happy
Are you both happy with one another? You may have a nice relationship and a nice routine, but is it true happiness? Only you know the answer. You shouldn’t propose as a way to try to fix any cracks in your relationship, as you’ll only make them worse. Getting engaged won’t fix anything. Getting engaged can only strengthen an already healthy relationship. If you have a very healthy relationship, start looking at Tacori rings. 

You’ve Discussed the Future
If you’ve discussed the future and you know he wants marriage, then you know eventually you’ll get wed. However, if he hasn’t shown much interest and has avoided the subject, it might be a wise idea to leave proposing for a while. 

​You Can’t Picture Life Without One Another
If you’ve been together that long you can’t picture life without one another, it’s probable you’re going to be together forever anyway. Providing you have a healthy relationship, that is! If you want this man with you forever and you suspect he feels the same, propose to him. Here’s a guide on finding the right rings!

You Don’t Mind Telling People
Telling people is probably the hardest part of proposing to your man. They’ll hear you’re engaged and they’ll automatically assume that he did it. They’ll ask questions. They will be surprised when you tell them you did the proposing. If this doesn’t bother you in the slightest, then go ahead and do it. Just bear in mind that he will need to tell people too, and you don’t want him to feel less masculine. If he’s quite traditional, it might not be a good idea!
