Dear LIB readers, can I ask my boyfriend when he will propose to me because its taking too long

From a female LIB reader
My boyfriend and I have been going out since we got into University, that is like 7 years ago. We are both done with school and he has gotten a good job and lives alone now while I am still in the process of getting a job. We get along well but he has just refused to pop the question so we can get married and move on with our lives. I know he loves and respects me but this his delay in getting married to me is beginning to bother me. I have been asking myself if he is thinking of dumping me but his care and affection says otherwise. Should I pick up courage in asking him why he hasn't or I shouldn't border?

    2. Long time dating is not really ideal for dis is d reason y some ladies get heart broken after long years in r/ship. Males taste's for their ladies in long r/ship changes unlike d ladies which is constant.

    4. And this is why they continue to abuse and disrespect us as women. You are telling me your parents put you through university and you are coming here to insinuate that UNTIL HE POPS THE QUESTION YOUR LIFE IS AT A STANDSTILL? ohmygosh! What a life hindering problem. Just stay there you hear? Don't move or do anything oh! Jst be waiting. Sit there and wait it's coming.
      What FOOLISHNESS!

    5. You sound like the type that has played house, done everything a wife would do and is now waiting for a proposal.
      I don't see you getting one. But what do I know, I'm not God. Best of luck mate.
      Maybe you should try carrying on with your life instead of acting like your life depended on it and maybe Jst maybe my nigga might get scared to lose you.

    6. Some guys are so scared of marriage cos they'v heard of the difficulties and complications affiliated with it..si asking him won't he a bad idea..it's gonna b a reminder and a tap on the cheek saying do not be afraid

    7. Odikwa very risky. A friend of mine tried it and that was the end. Desperation is at play here. If you have to please do it subtly.
      No harm in trying sha.

    10. 7 years in a relationship, there's a very high possibility that he will never propose to u. If he has started working (a good job I mean) for 2years plus now, then note that he never will. Soon after u break up with him, he would get married to some other lady in less than 2 years. My dear, find another man. Ur years are wasting

    11. U better ask him now so as to find white goat now there's sun.. Nothing desperate about it. That's why I love white chicks, they will even propose to the guy, no dulling. We're no longer in the 19th century. You need something, u go for it..

    19. Please NOTE that there is no law barring you from asking her & sincerely I think and believe that it confirms for him if he has any doubt that u truly love him. There is no shame in love, you have been with him according to you since his student days, so ur love for him is certainly not material. Go ahead and ask him if that is what you truly want. Maybe he will say yes or say no and give you his reasons so you can make a reasonable decision. Don't assume with your life. Be sure. If he loves you, he will respect you more for indirectly through asking him this told him you live him so much or enough to want to spend the rest of your life with him & you want him to be the father of your baby/babies. Is the highest gift any woman can give a man. To make a man the father of your baby is a wonderful gift. SO I SAY, GO ON AND POP THE QUESTION. GO GIRL!!!

    20. Don't mind them, ask him. Relationship is communication before Sex and love. Talking to your partner about how you feel is not desperation. It's call being grown and mature.

    21. The question should be " how will I dump him and move on with my life "

    1. Of cos she's free 2 ask, but u hv 2 pply wisdom. Asking ur bfrnd straight 2 his face "when I u gonna propose 2e me?" Might either get him upset or make him think u are despirate. 1st find out if he is ready, 2ndly is he commited 2 u? 3rdly is it the ryt time? If its nt the ryt tym, no mata hw many yrs u stay wit him, he's nt gonna propose, bcos he still has pressing issues 2 sort out, lyk tryn 2 get financially comfortble. 4) Make sure that he can't see a future without you in it. If you want to get your long term boyfriend to propose, then you should make sure that he can't imagine his life without you. Sure, you've been together for three years, but does that mean he wants to be with you for thirty? If every time he talks about the future, he starts with "We..." and if he's mentioned moving to a new place with you, buying a home with you, or even starting a family with you, then sure, he's probably thinking of being with you forever. If he never talks about that then, I dnt fink his ready 2 be with you.

  17. My dear, ask him what his plans are, for your own good.
    My friend was with a guy for 7yrs and it didn't end in marriage, she is getting married in June to a guy she met late last year.

    My neighbour cohabitated with his GF for 5yrs, broke up with her in October and wedded another girl in January. Now don't ask me how that happened cos I was equally surprised.

    Humans are unpredictable. Your boyfriend may not be viewing the relationship from your own angle. I advice you ask him indirectly, so you know where the relationship is heading to.

      Delete
    2. Hell no! ill never advise a lady to propose to her man. He'll take her for granted in the long run. Dude is too comfortable and I doubt if he'll settle down with her. 7 years is more than enough to know each other.Habaaa! She needs to wear her big girl pant and have a serious conversation with him about settling down. If he's not ready and she's ready, then its time to reassess her relationship or keep it moving by ending it! Kapish!

      Delete
  19. Yes o, ask him what his plans are for u 'cos 7yrs is not a joke. Forget about what he's doing for u. He might be doing it out of guilt of what he intends to do. If u notice that he's not interested in walking u down the aisle, my dear, pull the cord before u get fried! U will hurt of course, but time will heal ur pains.

  28. My dear,stop being naive and ignorant.Ask him when he will do the necessary things.You cant spend all your youthful years fornicating with him. Communication is very important in every relationship.Let him tell u what is stoping him since he has a good job.Remember in marriage,time can wait for the man but not the woman.

  29. Dear Linda,
    Don't tell a man you can take care of yourself, we all know you can, but a man must feel needed and wanted. I am writing this because you have said it time and again.
    If anyone knows a God-fearing, employed or in successful business-man, single with no child or children, strong and calm man above 35years; contact Linda especially if you are patient because Linda is a bit hot tempered.
    Linda in Jesus Name God will bless you for all your kindness.

  32. Ask him. Don't make it too obvious. Say you're trying to plan your life and you've been doing a lot of thinking as you aren't getting any younger. Since he's a part of your life, you want to know whether his own plans for the future include you and if so, in what way? I really do not know why females do this thing, from the get go when you start dating someone, you really should discuss the age at which you plan on getting married. Don't wait too long. The really sad bit is that if both of you break up, he'll probably meet someone younger than you and marry them in a heart beat. Girl, be proactive...if he has no plans to marry you, you really should know now so you can make other arrangements. Good luck.

  46. dont ask him. just make yourself innaccessible for a while, pretend you are dating someone else, travel for a while with very small contact. if he acts concerned, push ur absence a bit more, if he is not pushed to assert his authority over you for marriage, then you have ur answer, he really doesnt care. you can then take a walk.

  48. There are other ways to put it without mentioning 'engagement' specifically. Sit him down and ask him Politely about his plans for you/ and where the relationship is heading to, and let him know you ain't getting younger. Some guys are ready to remain there as long as they Can get sx until they find your replacement. Heart to heart talk will do

    ReplyDelete
  49. My advise. Don't ask him. If your parents are aware of your relationship. They should have asked him when he is going to marry you. Or simply ask your mom or dad to invite him over and ask. If he really has plans for you. He would make his intentions known. Don't ask him on your own.

  52. Do not ask, just assume the obvious. As in, he is your husband. You don't know jack. He is your husband. Keep taking him and inviting him to family members. Especially, family Aunty's. 7 years. He is your husband do not even begin to joke arround it.
    It's women that marry. So just take him totally into what you want where you guys will live. Start by picking date etc and just assume, you are on the same level. Before he knows it. Tan tan Tara. Tan tan Tara. .....if not, most men are just comfortable boyfriend girlfriend. Sex is taken care of Easy. And then he meets a sharp girl. Gbam, you will start screaming blue murder. No! It's you that want marriage served you. No be so? All the ladies flaunting there rings will not tell you the truth.just go for it. Good luck.

  62. Get a job first or make something of yourself before you do that. Some people have dated more than 7 years and in your case you guys have dated 3 years in the real world; I am not counting the university days. So try talking to him about marriage instead of when he will pripose.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Ur on a long thing...7 years is too long for a rship.
    Drop subtle hints intelligently, tickle his psyche and watch him open up...Meanwhile, go out on dates,mingle with other successful intelligent guys...DO NOT OPEN YOUR LEGS...

    A man who is ready to marry but gets the pussy for free will delay his plans...Make urself unavailable to him and see if he willl start talking marriage.....I wish u luck.

  64. There is nothing wrong in asking your boyfriend, Where is this relationship leading us? and hear his responds. I did and he told me that he wasn't ready for marriage yet. I got married to someone else. Define your relationship, dont let anyone waste your time.

  65. If in 7 years you have no clue where your relationship is gong, then it ain't going anywhere . Get a back up plan

  78. Find a way to ask him, dont be direct with it, try to throw hints first, if he doesn't respond well, then you can just ask him wats next for him, wats his plan for u guys on the future and stuff. It won't make u look desperate, u've dated him for 7 years, so deperacy is out of it. Goodluck.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Don't ask him which ever way because asking him will put him off as it usually does put men off what you need to do is immediately find yourself a standby boyfriend or a reserved guy if you will, then gradually start showing him less and less of attention I guarantee you it will turn the table in your favor cos men like challenges. Is simply Prince Edwards law of attraction. It has worked time and time again. It never fails. But when you decide to have that standby boyfriend, I am available and my name is Prince Edward.

  83. Dear, ask him jokingly, when are u carrying wine and Kola to my father? If u be yoruba girl, ask him when he's taking yams to yr father. Tell him They are anxious u know snd they are wondering what's up". If he throws d question back at u saying what do u think? Then u say" Don't u think it's about time we take this relationship to the next level or what are u afraid of"? No need for drama, no need to vex. Just bring it up casually as if it's just a minor topic.Good luck dear.

  86. The problem is that we date as if we are already in marriage. Love is good but every couple must play according to rule. U don't eat your cake and have it back. Date a man sincerely without sex and avoid other forms sexual gratifications with him and he will beg you to marry him asap.

  87. I usually never comment but.... Girl, you HAVE to ask him. Being a guy, he will most likely try to dodge giving you a straight answer. Keep @ it. If he says yall are moving forward then demand action + specifics. Females only have the luxury of such dilly dallying when in school. Once you are out. Of school, time flies like no tomorrow. Before you know it another 2-3 years will be gone. In fact, you should have gone past this 'when will you propose' stage a long time ago. Your question should be when are we doing this? What are you doing with a proposal? Does a proposal guarantee marriage? Focus your questions on wedding/marriage plans not proposal. Because next thing he'll give you a ring and keep you on hold for the next 3 years. Hmmm, please wake up. Depending on how old you are, you shouldn't give this guy anything more than 2 years grace (wedding planning period inclusive). You need to get really proactive about this. And if he is not ready for you or doesn't want you, please be courageous enough to move on. I know we women dread change most times (especially change of men) but if need be, you have to be brave. I promise you there are many more fish in the sea. Contrary to popular opinion, husband is not as scarce as they make them seem. Be proactive and courageous. God be with you.

  93. Madam, instead of waiting 4 him to pop the quiz, y not work on developing and adding value to yourself by way of securing a Job just like he has done? Marriage is important but dat shouldn't be your priority for now.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Please do ask him it's very necessary. Besides long term relationships is not healthy

  95. As a guy,i won't like it if u talk abt marriage with me directly. All of una dat are shouting "7 years is a long time",should ask d girl " have u not cheated on him since then?". Advice I will give to d girl is : try and get a job, u are too dependent of d guy dat is why u are not bothered abt a job,all u think of is holding dis guy down. Get a job 1st,then flirt a little. I didn't say f*ck arnd ooo,no misunderstand me. Guys like a little competition,u are all his Dats why he is not bothered to tie u down sharp sharp. Forget all dis people telling u to ask God or take it to God in prayer, don't waste God's time. God is too busy to be giving dating tips,afterall He is against premarital sex which,i'm sure, u guys have been doing for 7 years.

  96. All i see is you been desperate Miss..if he is yours he will surely do

  97. You have waited too long in my opinion..chances are that you are not included in his future plans, if not he would have mentioned it even absent mindedly. U need to ask him to avoid stories that touch. If not, you will still be with him and see wedding invitation of him and another girl. Act fast and move on, you are not getting younger.

  98. Pls ask him o. I dated a guy for 5yrs, n after he has gotten a good job n all is set 4 him, he refused to propose. N wen I confronted him, he told me dat he wants to travel abroad for masters n all dat crap! I jst #Wakanow.com
    A few months later, I met a new dude, n he proposed in less than 3months. So, do urself a favour n ask d dude!

  99. 7yrs is too long tho, pls ask him, don't be shy.

  100. Don't asking him to propose to you. Rather, call him and have a serious discussion with him by asking him what are his plans for the relationship. Listen to him attentively. From his responses, ask further intelligent questions. Thereafter, think about his answers and make up your mind about the whole issue. Don't be sentimental about the whole matter, and don't allow him to just wave aside any of your unanswered questions!

  102. So you are not working but you want him to pop the question? It costs money to pay for a wedding and start a family...get a good job for yourself and then you can start thinking of him popping the question.

It's simply aasking n receiving hehehe it's even in d bible!
