5 Things You Can Do To Persuade Him To Your Line Of Thinking

1.) Men crave admiration. If you want him to see you as the woman he'll marry, then don't forget to remind him about all the things you love and admire about him.

2.) Make sure he knows what you really care about is getting to spend the rest of your life with him. You don't want him to feel like it's all about a gigantic, fairy-tale wedding he'll be stuck paying for.

3.) Let him know what you intend to do financially after marriage to help reduce his stress over money. Will you be financial partners or will he be stuck trying to pay for you and a family?

4.) Pull away and make him miss you a little if you feel he's not marrying you because he's fallen into a "comfort zone" in the relationship.

5.) Be patient. Don't jump to any hasty conclusions. He may be saving up for a ring right now.

How Do I Get Him To Propose? 5 Things You'll Want To Avoid If You Want Him To Drop To One Knee

1.) Don't continually remind him how you're disappointed about not being married yet. You'll only make him feel more stressed and pressured.

2.) Don't remind him how all your friends are married and how their weddings were all so amazing. He'll feel stressed from your expectations.

3.) Don't interrogate him over his reasons for not marrying you.

4.) Don't start looking through a bunch of wedding magazines in front of him and circling all the things you want at your wedding.

5.) Don't become moody or irritable with him or give him an ultimatum unless you're truly at wits end and ready to leave if he doesn't propose. You can create space and spend more time with friends away from him if you don't think he's serious about a "forever" with you.

Once you've learned how to make a guy fall in love with you, the next step is to get him to commit. If you avoid the 5 things above, you'll have a much better chance of getting the proposal you've always wanted.
