It\u2019s not always easy to know when the time is right to pop the big question. You might not be able to gauge the interest of the lucky lady in question, you may not want to mess with a good thing, or maybe you\u2019re just not ready. But as time goes by and the pressure mounts, you may begin to wonder if the \u201cright time\u201d is just a myth concocted by happy couples to hide the fact that they, too, were unsure about the proper moment for presenting a ring. Whatever your reason for waiting, you certainly don\u2019t want to put off that next step too long or you may find yourself alone while the love of your life runs off to Las Vegas to marry your best friend. Here are a few hard-to-miss signs that it\u2019s time to get to one knee and solidify your future with a diamond engagement ring<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. She\u2019s pregnant. If your girlfriend is sporting a baby bump as an accessory instead of a ring, it\u2019s time to man up and remedy the situation. Bringing a child into the picture is a pretty clear sign that you\u2019re moving towards a permanent partnership, so stop stalling and get the ring already!<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019re already married under common law. If the law says you\u2019ve been together long enough to be married, maybe it\u2019s time you took the hint. At the very least, you\u2019re missing out on a monster tax break. If you\u2019ve been living together for several years as a couple, you\u2019re already married in spirit anyway, so why not make it official and give her the day she\u2019s been dreaming of since she was a child. After all, if she stayed with you, she kind of deserves it.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ve been together more than half of your life. This is a no brainer. If you\u2019ve been together more than half the time you\u2019ve been alive, you\u2019re probably not going to be moving on to greener pastures any time soon. If you\u2019re in it for the long haul, then for goodness sake, make the commitment.<\/p>\n

4. She\u2019s started looking at rings. This is a sure sign that she\u2019s ready, so unless you want to lose her to the next guy to offer her a shiny bauble for her third finger, you\u2019d better start planning for the purchase of your life. Otherwise she\u2019ll be planning it without you.<\/p>\n

5. Her bags are packed and she\u2019s thrown the gauntlet. Uh-oh! When it gets to ultimatum time, you may already be too late. Don\u2019t suffer the knee-jerk reaction of telling her to go unless you\u2019re sure that a life without her is just fine with you. Probably she\u2019s already told you a few times and you just weren\u2019t listening. So before you blame her ambush for the break-up, think about your own role and consider if you should have proposed marriage a lot sooner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
