You’ve been together for four years, living together for two. You talk about marriage and kids all the time. You know he’s the one, and he knows you’re the one.  And yet, here you are four years later – still the girlfriend, because every time you get your hopes up, you are only met with disappointment.

 

Your friends are getting engaged and married left and right. Logging into Facebook makes you anxious because you will vomit if you see yet another friend or acquaintance announce their engagement.

 

The waiting game – it’s a painful one. So what do you do? Drop more obvious hints? Ultimatum? Have “the talk”? Propose yourself?

 

Unfortunately, there is no right answer. Boys have all sorts of reasons for not proposing – from wanting job or financial security to resisting giving up bachelorhood, to just being plain stupid.  So, we came up with 10 very compelling reasons that perhaps your future husband might not have considered…

 

If anything, we hope you can get a laugh out of it because while waiting is stressful, it shouldn’t have to be all consuming.

 

10 Reasons Why You Should Propose to Me

1. If you are anxious about ring shopping, I already have it picked out so that saves you time right off the bat! Ask my sister or any of my close girlfriends and they will point you in the right direction on where to go and who to talk to.
2. I will embark on a diet and exercise routine that will have me looking like a Victoria’s Secret Angel in no time.
3. I will stop asking you to change the channel when you are watching the game because I will be busy on my laptop wedding planning.
4. Two words: Bachelor Party
5. You know that new grill you’ve been wanting? We’ll get it as a gift.
6. Whenever we have an argument all you have to do is tell me to look down at my left hand and I will shut up (unless its about the wedding, but we’ll keep that one to ourselves for now).
7. Beyonce says so (and 158 million people seem to agree).
8. America is depending on people like us to spend more as a nation to get out of our economic slump. Think of your country.
9. We both need a vacation from work, so HONEYMOON here we come!
10. I know from the bottom of my heart, from the depths of my soul, that you are the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with. There is no emotion more pure and strong than LOVE.
