He will do it when he is ready to, don't push. If you are in love and know you are going to spend the rest of your life together why does it matter when you get a piece of jewelry to prove his loyalty and love?

Well Foxy I would say to talk it over with him. Ask what his thoughts or idea's are on marriage and if he thinks that one day maybe the two of you could get married?
But to be engaged before valentines day is a big step since that is only next wednesday. If you think you two are ready for that next step in the relationship then you can always ask him too.
Good Luck

Have you guys talked about getting engaged? Looked around at rings when you are at the mall? Talked about the future at all? Talked about a house, future kids, etc?
If answers are no, then don't expect a ring before Valentine's Day.

Have you talked with him about it? Are you sure he feels the same way as you do? Are you guys READY for marriage? (that's the biggie, by the way). Getting engaged isn't some prize you get, it's a serious committment, it's not about getting to wear a pretty ring. He'll ask you when he's ready to ask, or you can ask him if you think he's ready. But if you guys haven't even talked about it yet, hinting isn't going to do it sweetie.

well, guys dont like the pressure. you're only giving him a week to let it sink in that you want to marry him, plus hes got to figure out if he wants that too. then hes got to buy a ring, and come up with a clever way to propose to you... i think you may be a bit ambitous.
HOWEVER.....
if you still want to try to be engaged by then, the best way to hint to a guy is to flat out tell him. guys dont get hints!!! you have to be blatently obvious. if you want to be engaged before Vday, then you have to tell him that you want to be engaged before Vday. otherwise, he wont know. he wont catch any hints you try to give.
good luck!

Oh honey... hinting about getting married is really something that happens in fairy tales. You and your man need to sit down and talk about marriage, family, premarital counseling, living arrangements, financial goals, etc. etc. You don't really drop girly-girl hints about getting a ring on a certain day- you talk about marriage like 2 mature adults. If you don't feel you can sit down and talk about it without "scaring" him, you're in no way ready for marriage.

If you do that, there is a good chance he will dump you! Don't pressure him...guys usually take longer to start to feel that way than women do...so just hang in there and let him do it on his own time. If that doesn't work for you, then maybe you should propose to him...

I wouldn't hint, I would just ask what he would think of getting married sometime soon. But that's just me, I like to be direct.

whoaa, thats a little soon.
just tell him, see what he does.
but i wouldn't count on it before valentines day, hopefully he's creative when he asks, and for a guy that might take awhile.

Do what my fianceé did. Talk to him about your situation, but instead of telling him that it's you, tell him it's a friend of yours. Eventually he will pick it up (if he's not that dumb) and think: "Maybe she's telling me cuz she want's me to do that"... That's how she got me.
