Why have the people waiting not proposed?... genuine question

Many of us have made it pretty clear to our OH, but they either want to propose themselves or are just not ready for whatever reason. We love them so we wait patiently. For the none patient days we come here

Reading back over the thread, you'll find yes many people have thought that. Well done, genius! :rotfl:

Ow that's harsh!

I was with my OH 6 years before he proposed. He was waiting until he thought it was a good time. From yr 5 I was getting a bit impatient, but it happened when he wanted it too.

No - it's not crossed our mind. :pOf course it has you eejit. I mean where do these clever people come from-school of stating the obvious I reckon.

I see the trolls are out in force today!

Squirrel, I was thinking about you at the weekend and wondered whether you were still thinking of NYC! Those few months are going to fly by, how exciting

Back from Malta - still not engaged. Not that I expected it to happen if I'm honest, for various reasons, but it would have been nice. There were a few moments where I thought he was going to do it, because he got very lost in thought a few times and I thought he was worrying about something, but if he was (and he said he wasn't) then that appears to not have been it...

Sorry to read that MW, I hope you still managed to have a great holiday anyway, was the weather kind to you?

Do you think he *may* have been thinking about it but couldn't quite do it?

I honestly don't know. I don't think he realised how much of a big deal it was to me until recently, when we had a big talk about it and he basically said he didn't want to rush into it, but then he's not normally a 'spacey' person which is what made me suspicious in the first place. My best guess is that he was waiting for that 'perfect' moment and it never came - there were a few times where it could have happened but for whatever reason it didn't work out (and some of those were probably my fault!).

It was a really nice holiday though, if one of those times when I wished one of us could drive as whilst there were buses there was a lot of having to go back in and out of the capital city which kind of ate into the day. The weather was really good too - it was sunny pretty much every day, and nice and warm but not so hot that we couldn't do anything.
