When you are 100% sure, that she loves you very much and would NEVER, say "No."
Try this. Take her to a store that sells magazines. One with a huge selection. Pick up an issue of.."Brides Magazine".
Browse through it(while she's doing her own thing.)
Look at all the pretty wedding gowns, then walk over to her.
Say to her, this...."You know, this is really pretty. I'll bet you would look good(or beautiful), in this.
Look for clues, to see if she's ready.
1)...Her facial expressions...happy or nervous and uncomfortable
2)...Body language...Crossing her arms would signal, that she is putting up a wall between you, out of fear you might pop the question.
3)...If she gets a little happy and wants to look at the wedding gowns TOO, that means she's ready!
GOOD LUCK. BUT..Remember, just because she is not interested in marriage NOW, doesn't mean, she won't be ready
in the near future or 3-4 years.

How do you know when it's the right time to go to the restroom? How do you know it's the right time for anything? It's something that a professor can't teach you.
And I wouldn't ask in a wimpish fashion, but would invite the woman to come into my life with dignity. No one would ever pronounce me "husband and wife," but instead "man and wife," like it was in the days before liberalism took over, when marriages succeeded and lasted.

We talked about spending our life together several times before my fiance asked me properly. If you know she's down for it, then just plan something romantic and special to the two of you that will make a good story to tell her friends and your grandkids someday...Trust me, all girls LOVE to exchange proposal stories. So, if you know it is what she wants, any time will be right if you make it right! Good Luck!

Whenever you realize that you can't see yourself being with anyone else. It's that moment when you know that this person knows you completely and loves you unconditionally.

Maybe there is never a time, so it is always the time...
