Some guys just have to get their life right before marriage. We want things to be as settled and calm as possible before taking the big step, and we don't want to feel pressured. We need to feel that the decision to propose is ours and not just a guilt trip forced on us.
I went through almost the same thing. I started dating a girl that wanted to get married immediately, but I told her that I would wait at least 3 years before asking. We were together just over 3 years when I was trying to figure out some way to finish paying off a credit card so we'd have the $$ to get married, and I was already working on a romantic way to propose when she decided she didn't love me anymore, or she was just "unhappy". So the way I see it, I was right to wait or we would have been going through a divorce and not just a break-up. I loved her and was ready for us to start our life together, but she was so impatient that she let it eat at her until she probably fell back out of love with me.
If your man tells you that he doesn't want to be pressured, then take him at his word. There are other ways to give him the hint without being so blunt. Maybe smile big and, if possible, drop a few tears if you're watching a wedding movie together. When you're around other people and someone has announced their engagement then just gush all over them and tell them how thrilled you are for them (more tears here if possible) but don't make any eye contact with your guy. He'll see that you want it so bad, but think you've resigned yourself to wait for him to be ready...then he'll be ready faster than you could have imagined.
Give it a try.

He "won't" marry you, or hasn't asked you yet? You said he was your ex, so you must have broken up for a reason. You have to talk to him about where your relationship is headed. There is no way for us to know unless you give us more info. I doubt it has anything to do with your physical appearance. That's not the reason most people marry, and if it is, the marriage isn't likely to last. Good luck.


* I read your other question and it seemed as though you were ready to cut him off until he made up his mind. If you're going to do that, you have to do it completely. I understand that you don't want to take away your daughter's father figure, but what's going to happen if and when he decides that he doesn't want to marry you, he wants to marry someone else? Are you going to hold onto the relationship to save that father figure, or fnd one who is mature enough to commit to a family? It's not fair to you or your daughter for him to string you along. If marriage is important to you then he has to know that, and the only way he'll know you're serious is to have some real consequences. Simply cutting off your physical relationship isn't enough. Your daughter needs a real daddy, not one who can't commit to her or her mother.

Because he's 28!!

Most guys at his age are stuck in between getting older/ having to grow-up and being young, hip, and cool. It's a really weird time for them, but most of the time they are not looking to get married before 30. Not saying that he's not going to marry you or doesn't want to. It just depends on how long you are willing to wait. What's important to you.

"Looks" alone does not make a good spouse. It takes more than that, trust me.

Sounds to me he is stringing you along. He's not ready to commit, but doesn't want to give you up either. Time to have a serious talk with the man.

first of all it takes more than good looks to be a wife. second of all, you said your ex - so if you cant make it as a couple why would you want to make the commitment of husband and wife.

Looks have nothing to do with spending your life with someone. Maybe he's not ready. It also might have something to do with the fact you called him EX.

It's not you, it's him. My daughter is going through the same thing with the guy she is with and they even have a child together. He said he can't see fixing something that isn't broke. I say his selfish and insecure. Sorry you're going through it too.

It takes a lot more than good looks to be a damn good partner.

i think he is just enjoying the ride. his philosophy: "no reason to buy the cow, if you can drink the milk for free".

stay away from that man, it'll hurt now, but it will save you later.
