Why would you want to marry some guy who obviously doesn't want to get married????

You can't get him to propose - only he can decide that!

By being honest, open to commiting to him, and by avoiding undue pressure. Most of us know when we want to propose to a woman, but will balk at any pressure to do so. If you think your relationship is marriage-worthy, say so, but don't lay down any demands. If you are worried about a 5 year engagement, say so, and explain why. Also, be aware of the $$$$ angle: some of us would propose tomorrow, but do not have enough money to acquire a substantive engagement ring. This is often true when you are living with the guy and he is carrying most of the joint expenses.

In the end, do not look to marriage as the be-all of the relationship, regard it as a step in its growth, and if you work together towards a proposal/engagement, it will be more satisfying than any proposal you received through pressure or fear.

You should not have to. If you have to coheres him to propose, then he does want to. Some people have an issue with marriage, but are perfectly happy having a loving caring relationship for a long time. On the other hand, if you really want that piece of paper to legitimize your relationship, he may not be the right one.

The best thing I can tell you is to be patient - when he's ready, he will do it. But if you have been with him for more then 6 months and you don't have a ring - you might considering asking him just to make sure you're on the same page. Guys usually propose right away when they know you're the one.

If you are really in tune with your relationship, you yourself should be able to guage the degree of readiness. Relationships go through progressive stages in their development. Sometimes that takes only weeks; and people know they are ready to take the next step and sometimes it takes months and maybe years.
The last thing you want to do is to pressure any man into marrying you. If the relationship goes on for an extended length of time, and you would like to marry him in time and would like to know whether the relationship has a future...you may want to ask only if you feel secure doing so. If there is any hesitation or the answer is no...that should be your cue to move on.

If you have been dating for more than a couple of years and you definitely want to get married to him, give him a deadline to do it. Tell him you want to be engaged by X date and married before X date (otherwise he might pull the 5 year engagement business). If you want to get married and he doesn't ever want to take the plunge the relationship isn't going to work anyway. Give him a reasonable deadline, like six months to a year. If he hasn't got the guts to commit then, he may never at least not to you.

you stop asking for it! my best friend's girlfriend keeps asking him to marry her but she doesnt even put out like she used to. Now he is cheating on her because she gives him no sex and she has become obsesed with the marrying idea.
Want him to marry you? give him lots of sex! and dont stop after he commits, unless you wanna lose him. That's how she got me to propose. She asked me what would it take, I say, promise me you will always put out, she say yes and the next day I proposed. And I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with her and since I know she will keep her word, no need for me to ever leave her

You should never force someone to propose. Wait until he ready. You never know if he ready to take on that commitment to u yet.

You dont at all. Dont ever pressure someone into marrying you chances are it will end in divorce. Why are you in such a rush if he isnt ready yet whatever you dont ask him. Just drop hints to him that if he were to ask you, you would say yes. But other than that stay away from pressure.

First be yourself and treat him good if he's the marriage type he will pop the question but don't push him too much.
