Do you only order desserts that could easily lend themselves to hiding a ring inside?
Have you taken your boyfriend to get measured for a tuxedo "just in case" and do you wear long white gowns to all of his fancy work functions?
If the answer is yes and your guy still isn't getting the hint that you're ready to tie the knot, try these 5 easy ways to hint at marriage.
1. Start attending religious services only when you know a wedding will be taking place. If you're not the religious type, navigate your way past a place of worship around 4pm on Saturday afternoon. Research where there will be a wedding taking place and make sure you are in the driver's seat. Your guy won't help but notice the big white gown as you halt to a snail's pace and let out a low whistle.
2. Fill his Netflix queue with wedding themed comedies and claim you thought he'd appreciate a good laugh. Meanwhile, make sure you pick out movies where the wedding actually takes place as opposed to say, Bride Wars, where the plot alone with cause him to swear off all things wedding related for eternity.
3. Plan a 5 star vacation complete with adventure sports, palm trees and tall umbrella drinks. Send him the itinerary and then a quick follow up email that states, "Oops. I knew this was too good to be true. The fine print reads that this exclusive resort is for honeymoon couples only!"
4. Next time the two of you are in Home Depot and your guy is complaining about the cost of upgrading his Craftsman, point out Home Depot just happens to be a great place to register for wedding gifts. Same thing goes for Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods or any other retailer that holds a special place in his heart.
5. Fill your apartment with fresh flowers and be sure to gather them up bouquet style and walk across the room humming "Here Comes The Bride" loud enough for him to notice.
If you still find that your left ring finger is without a friend, ask yourself if you are truly ready for marriage. Think about what marriage means to you and why you believe your relationship is truly ready for it. If you think your boyfriends feels the same way but is just having trouble dropping to one knee, then meet him halfway there. It's perfectly okay to propose to a guy.
