What do you think?

Give him time Kassie! He will propose just stay off his case and keep on loving him the way you have been for the last 2 1/2 years. He has been hurt, and men do take rejection very badly and are usually VERY scared to commit again in-case it happens again.

You will get your dream wedding, but just give him a little more time.

Good Luck!

I would suggest an honest conversation. Not a lot of pressure and games but a heart to heart talk. Ask him what he is thinking about marriage and time frames. Ask if he even wants to get married.

Just because others are doing it does not mean you have to. If it is what you truly desire then discuss it with him but be prepared to compromise with what he wants. If he want to in 2 years and you want to now, meet in the middle at one year (compromise).

Also, keep in mind if he is going to propose he probably wants you a little surprised about it so do not try and make every big occasion about a proposal. Let him bring it to you and not being pressured into it by you.

Enjoy life and time with him, it will happen. If you obsess about it, it will take away from it.

What's the rush?

Do not get married nor engage just for the reason that everyone around you are getting married... VERY VERY WRONG purpose..

Let him decide on her own... Men do not like to be push around and tell them what to do..

Most probably, the reason why he's not proposing because he's not READY.

A guy who is not ready + getting married/engage = doomed relationship.

better yet, play hard to get.

Probably not, it may not be the right time for him. I knew my husband for 10 years before got married. Marriage is not something to be rushed into and many girls are just in love with the fact of just being engaged and they want the wedding and then when its over they are like oh god what did I do. So just be patient your time will come.

2.5 years is long enough to know if you want to marry someone or not - and he apparently doesn't want to marry you.

It's probably a good idea to sit down and have a serious talk with him about this now. Ask him how he feels about getting married to you, and DONT JUDGE WHAT HE SAYS. Just listen, and let him talk without feeling threatened.

You've got to find out what is going on in his mind about all this before you can do anything else.

Maybe you should stop waiting for him to propose and just sit down and talk about it. Find out if the two of you really have a future together. Let him know that you want to get married, and you can see yourself marrying him. If he doesn't agree, then maybe it's time to reevaluate your relationship.

Well now that you pretty much told him to, why would you want him to now? That takes all of the surprise out of it. Although I am secretly antsy too. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 and 1/2....But good luck to ya. Hopefully it happens for you.

Although he wants to be with you, it still sounds like he isn't ready. If YOU love him then don't pressure him into it. It will happen in its own time.

You mean propose, girl. And since you already demanded a proposal.. and your entire basis for demanding that proposal is because everyone else has one.. and your boyfriend laughed at you.. does that tell you anything about yourself? How old did you say you are? 16? 17?

I surely hope so.

The more you pressure him about it, the less likely he will do it. Let him plan it out in his own time. He obviously knows now what you want. The main thing is that you are together for the long haul, isn't your relationship the most important thing?

He might. If you really want a ring, then you either need to find out if it is EVER in the cards with this guy, or move one to another one who DOES want to get married.
