If you\u2019ve been dating your man for more than a year, you, your mother and everyone else around you are probably wondering when he\u2019s going to propose.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a typical girl, you are likely to have thought about marriage and kids at least once in your life<\/p>\n
Come on, you know it\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been dating your man for more than a year, then you, your mother and everyone else around you are probably wondering when he\u2019s going to propose.<\/p>\n
As a matchmaker, I meet women all day long. I hear so many stories of women who say they wasted their time with Mr. Wrong. Sure, they have some great memories from the relationship, but they wish they could get those precious years back.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t want this to happen to you, and you\u2019ve been dating for more than a year, familiarise yourself with these nine tell-tale signs that your man is unlikely to put a ring on it:<\/p>\n
1. He avoids weddings like the plague<\/strong> 2. He doesn\u2019t talk about getting married<\/strong> 3. He doesn\u2019t plan<\/strong> 4. He\u2019s Mr. Excuse man<\/strong> Any excuse isn\u2019t a good thing. If your boyfriend blames his lack of interest in marriage on work, money or family, then he isn\u2019t eager to walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n 5. He says he\u2019s happy with the way things are<\/strong> 6. He talks about the glory days<\/strong> Does he make references to how great the last vacation you guys took was? Or does he regularly and longingly tell stories about his college days?<\/p>\n If he enjoys talking about his \u2018spring break\u2019 \u201908 or mentions how much misses going out every night with his friends, he\u2019s probably not mature enough to wed just yet.<\/p>\n 7. He has no interest in your future<\/strong> 8. None of his friends are married<\/strong> 9. He hasn\u2019t mentioned starting a family<\/strong> –<\/p>\n Source: All4women<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019ve been dating your man for more than a year, you, your mother and everyone else around you are probably wondering when he\u2019s going to propose.

\nWhen a guy isn\u2019t squeamish about marriage, he\u2019ll be comfortable attending weddings and he\u2019ll want to you to come with him. If your man hates going to other people\u2019s nuptials, that\u2019s a good sign he isn\u2019t ready for his own.<\/p>\n
\nIf you bring up the topic of marriage and he changes the subject asap, marriage isn\u2019t something he\u2019s thought about. If your man has an aversion to the M-word, he\u2019s subtly letting you know that marriage probably isn\u2019t part of his plan in the foreseeable future. Likewise, when you\u2019re with other people and the topic of marriage or children is brought up, pay attention to how your boyfriend reacts. Does he quickly change the subject (bad!), or does he say things like, \u201cWhen I get married\u2026\u201d (good!)<\/p>\n
\nIs your boyfriend allergic to planning? Does he only make plans for the immediate or short-term future? If so, marriage isn\u2019t likely to be a priority. He might be ready to make a date for this week or the weekend, but if he\u2019s hesitant to make plans for six months from now, your future together may not be a sure thing in his mind.<\/p>\n
\nMen are simple creatures. When they want something, you\u2019ll know. If they\u2019re constantly making excuses about marriage or the future, it\u2019s time to realise that something\u2019s wrong. If he\u2019s too busy and stressed to talk or think about marriage, it\u2019s time to say \u2018Sayonara\u2019. If he has too much going on to focus on buying a ring, your future together isn\u2019t looking so bright.<\/p>\n
\nPlain and simple, if your man tells you he that he\u2019s happy with the way things are, or he doesn\u2019t want to ruin the special relationship you have, then he has no intention of taking your relationship to the next level.<\/p>\n
\nPay close attention to what your boyfriend enjoys reminiscing about.<\/p>\n
\nWhen you mention your five-year plan, if he seems completely uninterested in what you have in mind, he isn\u2019t looking to build a life together.<\/p>\n
\nAre your boyfriend\u2019s friends mostly married or mostly single? If he has surrounded himself with only happy bachelors instead of having a healthy mix of single and married friends, then he won\u2019t rush to take things to the next step.<\/p>\n
\nMen don\u2019t have a baby clock ticking away like women do. In a man\u2019s brain, having a family is a natural thing that will happen one day, when you\u2019re married and the time is right. However, if he\u2019s unwilling to discuss having a family one day, he may not be ready to walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n
