WILL HE ASK YOU TO MARRY HIM? KNOW THESE 5 SIGNS

When a relationship strengthens, it's natural to think about taking the next step and formalizing the commitment. But how do you know if your partner is about to pop the big question? There are certain signs that could indicate they're considering proposing. Here are five subtle clues that might reveal just how they feel.

Saving

If you notice that your partner, who was previously more carefree about spending, is now showing a savings-focused attitude, he or she may be thinking about a future project. He or she may start suggesting plans at home instead of dinners out or outings, arguing the need to save. He or she might even mention that it's a temporary measure to weather difficult times or to maintain financial stability. These changes in his or her behavior may be a sign that he or she is eliminating unnecessary expenses and saving for a special purpose, such as buying an engagement ring or preparing for a future wedding. So the next time he or she mentions savings and financial security, pay attention: he or she may be thinking about taking the big step with you.

Act differently

If you've noticed your partner is more nervous or anxious than usual lately, or if they seem to be acting mysterious and somewhat evasive, they could be preparing for a proposal. Changes in their routine, such as insisting on doing something special or planning an unexpected date, can be signs that they have something important on their mind. If they seem thoughtful and different, they may be fine-tuning the details before popping the big question.

Get closer to your family and friends

Did you know that the best-planned surprises often involve the help of friends or family members as accomplices? If he's reaching out to your closest friends or family, he's probably planning something special, like a proposal, and needs support to coordinate details, distract you, or even confirm your location. If your friends and family seem more involved than usual, a big surprise may be on the way, so be prepared for the unexpected!

Pay attention to your jewelry

He may start to take an interest in those rings you always wear: he asks you about their history, why you choose them, and what kind of rings you prefer. Maybe he even jokingly tries them on and comments that they're too small for him or asks your ring size, seemingly for no reason. Perhaps, out of the blue, you'll even notice that one of your favorite rings has mysteriously disappeared. These small details can be signs that he's looking for inspiration for a very special ring.

The future and commitment are their topics of conversation

When a man is ready to align his future with yours, it's natural for him to start taking a deeper interest in your goals, your routines, and even your friends. If you notice that your partner seems to be "discovering" you again with in-depth questions about your dreams and long-term goals, or has become insistent on talking about stability and commitment, it's a clear sign that he's considering taking the next step. Also, if he starts frequently mentioning friends' weddings or commenting on how many of them have already started families, he may be sending hints about his willingness to build a future with you.
