Signs my boyfriend is going to propose?

I think you're a little too anxious for the proposal and are starting to read his every move as a chance to get one. I don't think his nervousness about traveling with a woman means a ring - I think he's honestly just nervous. I would really be careful about pushing the topic because I think you're starting to go into overdrive about getting your ring. This is especially true when you're seeking a ring only a few months into a new relationship. The "reach the level" answer doesn't really say that you're getting a ring shortly...it says he needs some time.

Give him and your relationship some time. Enjoy the time you spend with him instead of analyzing each word he utters for any possible signs of a ring.

If this is your first time in love, then you need to step back and try to look at the situation objectively. A marriage is based on understanding and communication. If you can't talk now about something as important as the prospect of spending the rest of your life together, then you have not reached a point in your relationship of trust.

Too, it sounds like you have a romanticized idea of what marriage involves. It's not the proposal, the ring, the showers and gift-giving that culminates in the wedding. The wedding is the starting point. Unlike TV shows, movies and novels, love and marriage has ups and downs and everything is not going to work out inside two hours or 350 pages.

Can the two of you support yourselves? Do you have similar hopes and plans for the future? (Children, religion, long-term goals?)

What would you do with a major disappointment? (Adultery? Long-term job loss? Chronic disease for you or for him?)

Hints are for kids. Just because you are enjoying the bliss of first love does not mean you are ready for marriage. This euphoria will pass. (It is a chemical reaction and it will pass.) You need to figure out whether this relationship can or will develop into long-term love and devotion or potentially fall apart in the cold light of day.

Sounds great between you two. I guess he will surely be proposing you in the coming trip. Good luck and have fun.

Until he pops the question you never know. It might cross his mind, but he might change his mind. I wouldn't get hung up on it, but maybe you need to decide what your answer would be.
