I hate to say it but you can't get anyone to do something they don't want to do. If he wants to propose to you, he will.
If marriage is something that is important to you right now, maybe you want to sit down and talk to him about where the relationship is going. See what he thinks of marriage or if he sees marriage in your future.
Good luck

Take a chance and propose to him first. Eight years is a decent amount of time. If he can keep a relationship with you for that long, then why would taking the next step be such a problem? If you're not comfortable with this, then drop him little hints or play a game on a date one day, or if you know anyone that is getting married, drop subtle hints then and bring it into the conversation. Or just ask him how he feels about it.

well they're arent any really specific ways, sometimes you have to see if your bf is financial stable or is he really ready to settle down. i know many couples ranging from dating for a year to 10years, they get married randomly. If you trully want your bf to propose to you, and you believe you can spend the rest of your life w/ him, why are you afraid of being embarrassed. Why dont you just provide him w/ some hints. Explain to him whats your dream marriage stuff like that... walk pass different stores that deals w/ wedding material. =x i guess thats all i can say

You dont state your a while. Rule of thumb in the journey that your below 29 meaning you met him 8 yrs in the past makes you (21) female you the two youthful and function various time to think of approximately marraige. get exhilaration from your existence, if he's ment to me your different 0.5 he would be if no longer, good day the splendid one will come alongside downthe highway.

Is He scared to commit, or is He just comfortable with the relationship as it now stands? I think you need to find the parametres of Your attachment first before either of you make any mistakes. Try to remember that there is a vast difference between Love, Lust and Propinquety. If all else fails just ask the bf to marry you. Trust me, it works.

my he afraid that comment and responablity. But then again maybe he isnt getting the right vibe from tht you are ready. Have you tried talking to him about it? In som State there a 7 yer common year marriage thing. But i dont know if that applies in your state. Maybe In some cases. You dont need to get married. I hve anold boos that been "dating" this guy for 11 years. They never think about married. Cuz they know each otehr wont cheat on the other. The trust each and plus they dont see a neeed in it. They dont need to prove to any on else that they are married. plus they save some money on taxes this way. But tis is just my thoughts hon. i hoped this helped

Eight years is a very long time, if he has not asked you yet, and you want to get married you should have this conversation and find out where this relationship is going. I would not have waited this long. And after 8years you should have enough invested that it is not hard to talk about marriage. You really should know by now his feelings about marriage. That is really a very long time. good luck and God bless

8 years? If he isn't wanting to propose on his own, then...well, 8 years is long enough!
You could always propose to him! Or just drop hints--mention so-and-so's engagement ring, ooh and ahh over engagment ring commercials, etc.

Dont say anything about getting married. If he knows that is what you want and start pushing him to pop the question he will feel pressure and that could make him feel like he has too pop the question to keep you happy. Just let him come around.
