You picked out the ring together, but still no date? It sounds like you are leaving out something in this question. Picking out the ring is a pretty big hint. At this point, you probably won't get a big suprise romantic proposal. Just ask him to set a date, get the ring and send out the announcements... if it's as locked down as you say.

first off, CONGRATS! finding the one person you want to be with forever is great! well 5 years is a long time to wait wow! but ok, so you know he wants to marry thats good cause you don't want to scare him off. guys have a hard time with the idea of settling down so sometimes we have to push! if you have already picked out a ring thats a huge step i'm actualli surprised he hasn't asked yet but then again it goes back to the settling down thing. why don't you plan a nice dinner just the two of you, make it really romantic. music, candles, wine you know the whole nine yards! get him relaxed and then just talk to him. surprised? yeah but it works better than trying to make him understand your hints. bring up the subject in passing while talking to him about other things so he doesn't feel pressured. tell him how much you love him and can't wait to be with him indeffinatly! he will understand and feel good that you feel comfortable to just talk to him about it. if he feels the same then just ask him what he thinks about it, maybe he just needs to be reasured that it's what you both want and your ready now!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Well, You dont want to force him. Who's idea was it to go looking at rings? His or yours? He might not even be interested in marriage if it was your idea. You can find ways to mention marriage without imply you want it. Or you can just sit down a talk about it. Which is the best way. If he's not ready he will tell you as long as you aren't getting mad bout it. If you really want a marriage but he doesn't, then it might not be for the two of you. 5 Years or not.

if you have been together for five years, then you should have your awn way into his mind. what ever happens, never give it to him straight... wait tell he proposes.
about the hints you were asking about, i think its easy, tell him how much you love him and how you want to spend your life with him.
and the best way is to flirt a little bit in front of him when you see a couple getting married. these are all direct massages telling him "ASK FOR IT"
i hope that it works and you both get married and live a happy long life.
good luck

If both of you are sure about getting married in the future, you dont have to worry about when he's going to propose you. Wouldn't it be more meaningful if he's the one doing the proposing thingy instead of you hinting it? Because when you give hima hint, you might know what to expect then..Hm, I don't know, it's just an opinion.

If you have already gone to look at rings he is obviously going to do it soon. I would advise you not to pester! When I was waiting for my husband to pop the question I would always ask him about it, when I finally gave up asking he asked me and I was so surprised. He told me after he was waiting to catch me off guard. Being surprised is the best and totally worth waiting for!!!

Don't you know by now men don't do subtle very well...lol. You may have to just politely and sweetly ask if he plans on actually ask you someday or if he just thinks that its a known fact, and it just waiting for you to set the date, since you guys have discussed it and have already looked at rings.

Since you have been together for 5 years, why can't you just come right out and ask him when he wants to tie the knot?

You cant make him as you, but if you go to look at rings again drop something into the conversation like "isnt there something you're meant to ask me now..." in a loving, yet sly, way.lol. x

If you have already gone ring shopping, chances are he probably has a proposal plan in mind. Be patient - he may be planning something crazy!
