How to Get a Man to Marry You?
If you have tried everything, but this guy still hasn’t popped THE question, you need to play smart.
You know, sometimes we become so engrossed in something, and we try so hard that we tend to ignore the trivial things, which, sometimes, is the key.
And love can be a complicated thing, my dear.
That is why I have come up with a list of things to get your man to marry you soon.
So, are you ready to know?
Read on.
1. Make Him Meet Your Married Friends More Often
Did you know that when two people spend a lot of time together, they sound like each other?
It’s common in married couples too. They mirror each other’s attitudes, speech patterns, and body language. And in extreme cases, they even start looking alike.
This is known as mirroring. It happens during regular interactions without being aware of it.
Now, if you get your boyfriend to hang out with your married friends, and if he likes their company, the chances are that he will slowly start believing in marriage.
He will learn how exciting it can be to be married to the love of his life and spend the rest of his life with you.
And he may even take the help of your married friends to plan a romantic proposal for you and surprise you. Who knows?
2. Make Him Realize That He Needs You
If you want him to be with you for the rest of your life, you must be everything he needs.
When he wants a shoulder to keep his head on after a tiring day at work, give your shoulder. If he needs a friend to play a game with him, be that friend. If he needs support when life becomes difficult, be that support.
Be his support, friend, and lover – all in one.
It does sound like a lot of work, but when you love someone, you already are all these to him. Isn’t it?
And remember one thing, don’t be clingy at all times. Guys like alone time, and somewhere, you need it too.
When he sees that you give him space, he will know you aren’t afraid to let him go, as you trust him.
Also, he will realize that marrying you will not take away his freedom. Instead, he will get a friend, lover, and supporter for life.
3. Break The Monotonous Routine
Well, if you are in a relationship with this guy, you may already know how men get comfortable easily. And then they become so stable in it that everything seems like a routine to them, getting out of which can become difficult at times.
For example, he sees you cooking a meal whenever he comes home from work. Or he knows you plan a date at home every Saturday evening where you sit, have your favorite snacks, and watch Netflix.
It’s time to break this routine, girl.
So, the next time he comes home from work, party with his friends instead of spending the next Saturday evening watching Netflix with him. Instead, take that dancing lesson that you have always wanted.
Show him that your life doesn’t revolve around his. You have your hobbies and may not be there with him forever if he doesn’t make the next move.
4. Keep The Sexiness Alive
You tend to get too comfortable when you are in a relationship for a long time. You don’t dress up for your guy like you used to. You stop looking sexy.
It’s one of the biggest relationship killers.
You start believing that this guy isn’t going to go anywhere else, and so you start taking things for granted.
I understand you are too comfortable in your pajamas and don’t want to change. But, girl, you can try to look beautiful and sexy, at least on occasions like a romantic date or a party.
It will keep the spice in your relationship intact. Your relationship will not become predictable and boring.
And when your guy realizes that it’s never going to get boring with you in the bed or when it comes to romance, he will want to have you for the rest of his life.
5. Be Stable, Emotionally
You might have heard it several times, but I will say again that too much of anything, be it passion or drama, is not good.
No guy likes a drama queen by their side. There should be a balance.
It can be difficult to remain calm and collected all the time. Life, after all, isn’t always a bed of roses. There can be hard, sad, and difficult times too. And that is when we lose our cool.
But try to be as emotionally stable as you can. When life is hard, you handle it like a mature person. Let your boyfriend know that you are a stable girl and you can get out of a hard situation with patience and maturity.
He needs to understand that you are not one of those girls who create fuss out of trivial things.
And he will not want to lose you.
6. Be Your Real Self
Your partner needs to see the real you before he pops the question. And you are the one who needs to let him see that.
Makeup is good. It makes you feel good about yourself. I understand.
But when you are in a long-term relationship where you have marriage in mind, you need your partner to see you without makeup.
He needs to see how you look after getting up in the morning – messy hair, bare skin, and in your pajamas. And trust me, he is going to love you more.
He will realize how you trust him and have shown him your de-glamoured side.
Also, don’t pretend to be someone you are, not just because your boyfriend likes it. He should know how you’re before he can think about a happily ever after with you.
7. Take Initiative When It Comes to Romance
Is it your boyfriend who always makes plans for romantic dinners or surprises you for no reason?
It feels good to be loved and feel special. So how about you planning something for your boyfriend on his special day?
You know, romance is a two-way street. Suppose your boyfriend is the one who’s always taking the initiative and doing things for you all the time. In that case, things will become boring for him after a certain period.
He wants to feel special and loved too. Do things for him that can make him happy.
It will make him understand that you value him, and he will want to stay with you forever.
Conclusion
The decision of marriage is something that should come to you naturally. It would help if you were not forced, pressured, or threatened to take the plunge. And it applies to your boyfriend too.
If he doesn’t propose to you even after you try everything discussed above, don’t be disheartened or blackmail him emotionally.
Give him some time. Maybe all he needs is some time to clear up his mind so that he can plan the best proposal for you. Who knows?
