Even if your heart is set on a surprise proposal, you still may want to be prepared for it! Whether that means thinking through the lifelong commitment or just making sure you have a great manicure!
Often, the signs are there that a proposal is imminent. Below are a few hints. If you spot the signs but don’t get the proposal you’re expecting, that might just be because your partner is still in planning mode and is waiting for the perfect opportunity. And remember that if you’re feeling anxious or concerned that you and your partner might not be on the same page, this may be a good time to set communication foundations that will serve you both for a lifetime! Talk to your partner about how you see your future together rather than wonder.
- Your partner has been talking a lot about your future together. You partner may be making sure that the two of you are in the same place in your relationship and have the same plans for the future.
- Your partner asks about your favorite places or reminisces about places you’ve been. “Remember the great time we had walking through that beautiful park” might be a roundabout way of asking if you have the same fond memories of that spot and if it would be a good proposal location.
- You have a trip planned, especially if your partner is being secretive about it. If you’re planning a weekend getaway or a vacation to a romantic place and you’ve already been talking about your future together, your partner may be planning the perfect proposal surprise.
- Your partner is being secretive or talking with your friends and family more than usual. Surprise proposals take planning and you have to be left in the dark!
- Your jewelry isn’t exactly how you left it. Your partner may have borrowed a ring to sneakily get your ring size!
