Wedding seasons is upon us and as you watch excited  friends and family members scurry down the aisle, you might be wondering when will it be my turn to tie the knot?

It is not unusual to get antsy about ascending to the next stage in your relationship, especially when you see friends of your age or younger already in the land of happily ever after.

Of course not everyone needs a ring to create a life time commitment with their partner, but for those who do want to get married, waiting for proposal can be agonising.
So why in the world isn’t he proposing?

Men don’t hear the clock ticking

While men are fertile well into elderly years the biological clock keeps a different timetable for women. Even though medical advancements can now allow women to have babies well into their forties, the chances of conceiving and carrying a healthy baby decrease rapidly with age.

Men often do not realise the extent of this fertility timetable, and even they do, they might not feel the same pressure to settle down.

The good news as to why he has not proposed yet? It’s not you its mother nature.

Men dread the big day

Not all women dream of the big day and the white gown, but many do. As a result, some women crave marriage simply because they cant wait to be a princess for the a day.

However, the groom to be usually feels something akin to dread not because he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life with his blushing bride, but because he doesn’t want to spend hours deciding table arrangements or corralling his family into a reception hall.

Be sure your man knows your future wedding is not going to be a three-ring circus.

Men fear the proposal moment

Have you ever thought about how scary it must be to plan what is supposed to be the most romantic moment of you and your partner’s life?

Assuage his fears by letting him know that skywriting is nice, but sweet, simple gestures are best.

Finally if you know that you are for next step in your relationship, but you still have not seen any bling you might want to consider summoning up your bravery and popping the question yourself.
