How to Drop the Ring Hint (Without Being Awkward)
So, you’re ready to get engaged and so is he (well, you think he is). Things can get uncomfortable when you are bringing up the subject of marriage. There’s always that “what if” feeling and most of us will do anything to avoid an awkward conversation. Nonetheless, we push forward with dropping the subtle (or not so subtle) hints that we’re ready for that ring. To ease your worried minds a little, we had 5 men weigh in on the best ways to drop hints, without the awkwardness.
“She can tell you she called the wedding venue to see how far in advance you need to book it… Before you get engaged. I thought she was joking at first, but really it was laughable and kind of cute.” – Connor, 24
“We moved in together, we had talked about moving wherever I was going (we knew he’d be placed into a residency somewhere other than Philly in the summer), and her family didn’t seem to hate me. Plus I knew that if her parents said yes then I had a good chance with her since you talk to them a lot.” – Justin, 26
“I like the straightforward approach personally! No beating around the bush. Either that or just bringing up little details like where to honeymoon or what kind of venue to choose for the event itself!”– Richard, 29
“One thing I believe is most helpful is having a Pinterest page and have some ideas for rings that you like on that page. Subtlety show him some ‘other things’ you’ve been looking at on Pinterest. He’ll see the rings you’ve pinned as well and hopefully get the hint that maybe he should start shopping around since, obviously, you already have. If that doesn’t work, just grab him by the shoulders, look deep in his eyes, and scream ‘Propose already, you goof!’ Some guys may never get the hint.” –James, 31
“I think it just came when we were talking about the future of our relationship. I said, ‘so are you gonna marry me one day or what?’ and she said that she wanted to. It wasn’t weird because we knew what we were striving for from that day forward; we just weren’t ready at the time” – Brandon, 25
If all else fails, it sounds like these men are advocates for the “up-front” approach. A relationship of love will be understanding and your man may even be relieved you brought it up. You’ll be one step closer to finding your beautiful ring!
