Three years seems long enough to know if your a keeper or not...I wonder if he is comfortable with the current situation, if your life together, already have children...already have most of whats a marriage consists of already established..if so I'd say he doesn't feel he needs to change anything he already is satisfied with, however, if these things are not in place...I'd say having a conversation with him may develop a plan to put them in place and that would be the time to bring up the fact perhaps getting married would be number one choice before any of the others can be established...I think some sort of suggestion is in order here to allow him to understand marriage is a priority...good luck.

These are a few posibilities..
1. Timing may not be right
2. He's afraid of further commitment
3. He's not sure yet
4. He doesn't see that you're committed enough yet
5. He's saving money for the ring or the wedding
6. He's broke
7. Maybe he doesn't want to get married
8. Maybe he's gay
Why don't you ask him...oh yeah and jsut because he hasn't asked you to marry him yet that doesn't necessaritly mean that there's somethign wrong with you or with him. How old are you?

Be thankful...Try to observe him if he really loves you. Years does not matter when it comes to getting married. Sometimes, there is some relationship, they just knew each other for a month, but they click..It is a matter of compromise and compatibility.
Maybe your boyfriend still trying to know you better, or maybe he is thinking about you and his future as a family.
Dont rush.. enjoy being with him together. If you dont see any problem at all, so why rushing? It is good for you though, because you will have a long time of chances to know him better.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!Some men are timid with this question but very much ready to say Yes if you do.If you've been together for 3 years and are comfy with each other,why can't you suggest it's time now?He may say yes in seconds or at least give you an idea what's going on.Don't waste your time.Go ahead and do it now.If you're more comfortable in bed after sex casually when he's in a conquerer mood or over dinner at your first hang out place together is up to you.Nowadays there's no gender issue in this thing anymore,sweetie.

I would specifically ask him about that. I dated my husband one month and we went ring shopping. He proposed 3 months later and we got married last year. 3 years is a long time to be dating without an official commitment. You need answers.

I was in the same situation and he finally dumped me for a 42 year old lady. Apparently their getting married in July. I guess he wanted an older woman. I thought we were going to be together forever.

Maybe he is going to pop the question but he needs more time. Guys are not as mature as us and it takes them longer to make up their minds. My cousin is just getting married to this guy and they have been dating since like 2000. Maybe tell him that you feel like y'all gone be together forever and watch his reaction. If you don't like that idea then ask one of his friends what he says about you and him to them. Maybe they can provide a little info about what he is feeling. Most likely they know something. Guys talk too.

not ready to commit? obviously you two are in a different phase of your relationship. time ot have a heart to heart talk and see where your relationship at. Regardless you will have a clearer picture instead of waiting for his next move, you can decide as well.

I was with my ex for 12 years and I thank God that we didn't get married.

I think he might be waiting for the right moment. Don't rush or push him about. Then again, he is a male, he might not be ready for marriage. Talk to him about it. Be sutle...
