Ladies, we need to talk. You’ve been dating this guy for a while, and let’s be honest, you’re practically living out a rom-com in your head. Is he going to propose? When? Should I start a Pinterest board for the wedding? (Spoiler: You already have one.)
But here’s the thing: men are terrible at communicating their feelings. Instead of straight-up saying, “Hey babe, I’m thinking of putting a ring on it,” they drop hints so subtle, you’d need a PhD in decoding male behavior to figure them out.
Lucky for you, I’ve done the research. If your guy is showing these nine signs, there’s a very good chance he’s already picturing you in a white dress.
1. He Talks About the Future Like It’s a Done Deal
He’s saying things like “When we buy a house…” or “Our kids are gonna be so cute.” Babe, this man is already planning your shared Costco membership. If he sees you in his future without hesitation, that’s a huge sign.
2. He Introduces You to His Inner Circle
Meeting the parents? Standard. But when he starts bringing you around his childhood besties and letting you in on family group chats, he’s testing how seamlessly you fit into his world. If his mom suddenly follows you on Instagram, congratulations, you’re already part of the family.
3. He’s Financially Planning (And You’re in the Equation)
Has he started saving money, getting serious about his career, or talking about investments? If he’s including you in those plans, he’s not just thinking about *next weekend, *he’s thinking about forever.
4. He Pays Attention to Your Wedding-Obsessed Ramblings
Let’s be honest, you’ve definitely mentioned your dream wedding at some point. If he actually listens and remembers details like *”You love emerald-cut diamonds”, *he’s taking mental notes for the Big Moment.
5. He Low-Key Asks for Ring Intel
Maybe he casually asks about your jewelry preferences. Or maybe his sister texts you like, “Hypothetically, what’s your ring size?” Girl, start getting your nails done regularly.
6. He Starts Acting Like a “Husband”
He’s fixing things around your apartment. He cares about your goals. He’s not just in this for fun; he’s already slipping into that husband energy.
7. He Gets Emotional About You (And Your Relationship)
If he starts saying things like, “I don’t know what I’d do without you,” or gets misty-eyed watching a wedding scene in a movie, he’s emotionally invested in you. Deeply.
8. He’s Weirdly Interested in Your Friends’ Engagements
If he’s asking questions like, “How did Sarah’s fiancé propose?” or “Where did Emily get her ring?” he’s secretly collecting data.
9. He’s Secretly Sweating Over a Big Decision
Have you noticed him being slightly nervous or extra thoughtful lately? It could mean he’s already planning the proposal, and just making sure he absolutely nails it.
So, What Now?
If your guy is checking off multiple signs on this list, congrats, you might be engagement-bound soon. But before that happens, let’s talk about you.
You know what you don’t want? A blurry, low-quality engagement video because your nails were chipped and your cuticles looked like they survived a horror movie. Nope, not today, Satan.
