How can I let my boyfriend know I'm ready for marriage without coming right out

[Chriztina]

and saying it? He's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. When he asked me to move in with him, I told him I had been thinking about bringing it up too so we were thinking the same thing and I said it makes me wonder what else you are thinking and he said about IT (I took it as marriage) will happen one day. The topic of marriage has come up too and he wants to be married one day. So how do I drop hints that I am ready?

You aren't ready for marriage if you can't talk openly with him about getting married.

That means you shouldn't "drop hints", you should have a discussion with him about it and how you feel.

I wouldn't do it if I were you, too many men are freaked out by that shit. You need to find the balance between making him feel secure and like he is still "winning you over".
That's my take on it.
Or you could let him know with a ring. Lots of women to the proposing don't they????

Why should he marry you? He already has all of the benefits of marriage without the negatives.
