You Dont. When he is ready to propose to you he will. For all you know he could be waiting because he has this amazing proposal planned or he ordered you this goregeous ring that hasnt come in yet. Be Patient. When the time is right it will happen. If you are certain this is the man you want to spend the rest of your life with dont blow it.

When he's ready, he will. He may never be ready, and if he was asking for advice, I would advise him not to marry you.
If he stays unmarried and you break up, he'll just have to pay child support. If he marries you and things don't work out, you can take everything he has and he may have to pay you alimony on top of child support. There's really nothing in it for him. There's no benefit that he would get that he doesn't have now, and there would be much more risk. Can you blame him for wanting to put it off?

I know that it is niced to get proposed to but sometimes with some guys you got to be the one that says "lets get married by such and such date." I know its not the fantasy proposal that most of us girls always hope for, but if you really love eachother than that shouldn't matter, just as long as you make that commitment to eachother. Because in thirty yrs you may not remember how he proposed.

Sounds like lame BF of yours just needs a little incentive....
The traditional way is to use your father and his shotgun.

Sugar, if he wanted to THAT badly, he'd have done it already...if you have to "get" him to do it, it's not coming from his heart nor is it something he really wants to do.
Let him do it in his own time, or you can propose to him and see if he accepts...

Well, not much chance of that if you've been together that long and have a child too.

im sick of women thinking it is up to THEM when they get propsed to....NEWFLASH....you get to make all the wedding decisions, ceremony choices, recpetion decisions, photographer, caterer, dj, video, venue choice...DANG IT, LEAVE THE GUY SOMETHING that is HIS!
Besides when you get married you are just gonna treat him like crap anyway, if this is your attitude now...gimme gimme gimme! this is all about you...you said how do i get him to propose to "ME", not how do "we" get engaged. stop being so selfish and appreciate what you havem or you are just the type of girl that is going to drive him away

Pack you bags to leave him, either he'll cave or you'll end up finding someone else that's ready for marriage.
