How many times have you told your friends, family and maybe even your man, "I want to get engaged so bad!"? If the number is higher than you can count on your two hands, it's time to quit saying "I want to get engaged so bad!" and do something about it.
If you've never been married before, it's likely that you don't know the first thing about how to get engaged to your boyfriend. Getting a man to propose requires specific tools and knowledge in regard to relationships. After much research, we've compiled a list of 5 effective ways that will make your dream of getting engaged come true!
#1 Tell Your Man How You Feel
One of the hardest things you're going to have to do to get engaged is make sure your man knows exactly how you feel about him. The only way to get the point across clearly is by sitting him down and laying all of your feelings right on the kitchen table. If you don't consider yourself to be a good communicator, this is probably going to be hard, but then again, maybe this is what has been stopping him from proposing in the first place.
If you've been telling him "I want to get engaged so bad!", there are a few important things you must refrain from in this conversation. Don't bring up marriage directly. You don't want this conversation to look like a desperate plea or an ultimatum. Only talk about your feelings. Don't accuse your man of anything or approach the conversation in a threatening manner. Doing any of the above may cause your man to pull away.
#2 Now SHOW Him How You Feel
After you've successfully completed the "talk", it's time to confirm your feelings for him by showing him. Sometimes showing someone how you feel can produce better results than telling someone how you feel. You need to make it a priority each and everyday to show your man how much you care for him and that you're capable of taking care of him for the rest of your life. Men find it very attractive when they see that a woman has the skills and qualities required to care for them.
The best ways to show your man that you care about him is to emphasize on the qualities that fulfill his needs. Does he like home cooked meals? If so, this is your time to shine in the kitchen. Does he like to be reminded throughout the day that you love him? Set a reminder on your phone to text him on a daily basis. You get the point... Find out what he likes in a woman and play that up to your advantage!
#3 Alleviate His Fears
Does this sound like you? "I want to get engaged to my boyfriend but I feel like he is dragging his feet." If so, it's likely that your boyfriend has some kind of commitment issue or fear of getting married. It's your responsibility to alleviate his fears if you ever want him to propose.
The first step in alleviating his fears about marriage is to find out exactly what his scaring him. Maybe he has told you why he doesn't want to get married yet. If he hasn't, try and ask questions that will reveal why he is hesitant on proposing. Once you find out what is stopping him, come up with a plan on how to make him overcome that obstacle!
Looks aren't the only thing! Men aren't that simple and shallow, although there are people who want you to keep believing that. Men are taking into account the entire picture so if you find yourself to be dazzling in other areas such as intelligence and charm or passion, the overall picture that your potential husband sees gets a serious boost.
