To all my Single Ladies who are hoping to get engaged VERY soon, listen up:
If his apartment is clean, he’s dressing better, and Thursday night poker with the guys has turned into date night with you? Either your guy is coming down with something, or he’s planning to pop the question! Read on for more telltale signs that he’s ready to say I do.
1) He’s Growing Out of His Bachelor Ways
You can tell his bachelor days are behind him when his number one priority is no longer himself. If he’s constantly using terms like “we” and “the future,” and plans for a weekend with the guys in Vegas are suddenly on the back burner while he looks for romantic locales to visit with you, he’s probably not just sick of his buddies–he might be scouting the perfect place to propose.
2) He’s Curbing Big Purchases
Has your boyfriend gone from big spender to scrooge? The plasma screen TV he’d been planning to buy isn’t hanging over his mantle, and instead of buying rounds of drinks at happy hour after work, he’s home cooking dinner. No, he hasn’t become a homebody; he’s started to eliminate frivolous spending to brace for a large upcoming down payment (your engagement ring!)
3) He’s Not Complaining About Weddings
While at a wedding together, it’s more than just the usual eagerness for an open bar. He puts a vice grip on your hand during the vow exchange (is that a tear I see?), and comments on the couple’s first dance choice and meal selection. Take it as a sign that he’s paying attention to all things wedding-related because matrimony is on his mind.
4) He’s Taken An Interest in Your Jewelry
Has he been complimenting your great ability to accessorize? Snooping around in your jewelry box? Holding your hand, constantly? Tying strings around your finger so you don’t forget something meaningless? All kidding aside, when your favorite ring goes missing, you’ll know for sure that he’s trying to find a covert way to figure out your size.
5) He Wants to Meet the Parents
Okay, so he’s probably already met your parents. If he hasn’t, and has become insistent on meeting them, it’s probably for a good reason. But if he already knows them well, and has become the first to RSVP for your nephew’s birthday party, jumps at the chance for a weekend visit with your parents, or even more telltale, tries to plan outings for both your families to hang out together, he’s ready to take the next step.
