4 Subtle Hints That Your Partner Is Ready To Get Engaged
So, you’ve been with your significant other for a while, and you’re ready to create a memorable proposal because she is “the one”. However, the question is, is she ready for you to ask that question?
After all, there’s nothing more heartbreaking than proposing with a personalized engagement ring, only for it to be turned down. If you are hesitating as you think about this question, you are not alone.
When it comes to a big decision like this one, it makes sense that you are both nervous about committing to something as monumental as an engagement.
Nevertheless, there should be signs that your partner is ready for marriage before you pop the question. Here are four signs to look out for that indicate she is ready.
1. You see her exploring jewelry stores or ring designs online
If your partner is ready for you to propose, it is likely that she will start dreaming about her ideal engagement ring. When shopping together, pay attention to the stores she enters to explore.
If you notice her gaze lingering at certain jewelry displays or if she pops in and comments on her favorite ring styles, she is likely dropping a hint about the ring she might want you to propose with.
Another important clue would be her browser history. If you start noticing ads for online jewelry stores or if she starts showing you different jewelry brands she follows on social media, she’s likely dreaming about her ideal ring. At this point, it would be helpful if she had her eye on specific ring designs because that would help you work on designing the perfect ring for her.
2. She talks about recent engagements or weddings of friends
If your girlfriend is reading a lot about weddings, or showing you social media photos of friends or even distant relatives getting proposed to or married, chances are she is imagining her own big moment. It is even more telling if she shows you lots of wedding invitations and seems up-to-date on who just got engaged or is about to get married.
If you are lucky, she may even compliment someone else’s ring when she sees pictures on social media, which would give you lots of information on what she does or does not like.
3. Her friends and family are dropping hints on her behalf
If her family or close friends start asking when you will get married, or if your married friends joke about you being next, this could be a strong hint that she had been talking to them about her desire to be engaged.
Should you be close to her friends and family, you can hint at the possibility of a proposal soon and gauge their reactions. If their responses are highly positive, they are implicitly giving you the green light, which is a sure tell that your partner is ready for it.
The added plus is that family and friends can be a great source of help when you want to plan the actual proposal! Whether it is in the logistics or in picking the ring, they will likely have a sense of her style and preferences.
Even if they are not 100% sure, they can secretly ask her in a way that is less obvious than if you do so yourself.
4. She brings up the topic of a future together
One of the most obvious signs that your significant other is ready for life as a married couple is that she will bring up future scenarios in conversation such as:
● How many children do you want to have?
● What kind of house do you want to live in if we get married?
● Where would be the ideal place to go for a honeymoon?
These future scenarios she describes are a sure-fire way to know it’s time to become committed and take the next step in your relationship. If similar scenarios are discussed, she may want to see that you both share the same values and agree on important life decisions before vowing to spend the rest of your lives together.
Know the signs before you propose
If any of these hints sounds familiar, there is a high chance your partner is waiting for you to pop the question. Should you be unsure, you can try to drop your own hints to gauge her reaction.
Try to ask about her favorite rings or what her dream honeymoon destination would be so you have a better grasp on what she hopes for in the future. Moreover, it also helps you to figure out the exact custom proposal ring you can surprise her with.
