8 Signs That You're About to Be Proposed To

You’ve been waiting for this day, the start of forever with your partner. The proposal. Every couple goes at a different pace, you could be dating for 1 year or 6 years, but the anticipation for your partner to pop the question will always be there. Thinking “oh maybe they will do it on Valentine’s Day, or maybe on our vacation coming up”. You can make as many guesses as you want, but you have to face the fact that you can’t control this part of your relationship. It’s going to happen when it’s right….BUT there are still signs that might give you a little hint. Here are 8 signs that could mean your partner is about to propose to you, and when they do…hire us to plan your wedding & create your florals!!! :)))))

1. They are acting strange, nervous, secretive etc. more than usual

This is probably the most obvious giveaway, especially if your partner never acts like this normally. If they start to avoid answering certain questions or conversation topics, or if they act as if they are constantly hiding something, it may be because they don’t want to accidentally slip up and ruin the surprise.

2. They are being more cautious & aware of spending money

Say instead of choosing a nice restaurant for dinner, your partner suggests the McDonalds value menu, or maybe instead of ordering a large popcorn at the movies, they suggest sneaking in some dollar store snacks. If they start to count their pennies and are cautious about every expense, it is more likely that they have already made a big purchase or are about to.

3. They are spending more time with your mom, sister or best friend

If they are suddenly becoming buddy-buddy with your mom, sister, or best friend, that’s a sign that something is up. Those 3 people are typically the ones to go to for advice on the style of ring, location and plan for the proposal. So if you’re partner is spending more time with them than you, it’s safe to stay that plans are in motion.

4. They are planning a trip for just the two of you

Planning a trip is not a dead giveaway, but if they are emphasizing a trip for JUST the two of you, over and over, then there is a big sign there. Destination proposals are extremely common, wanting a nice back drop to pop the question. So if you have a nice little trip coming up with your partner, make sure to get your nails & hair done, and maybe get a tan and a cute outfit, just in case.

5. They are paying more attention to your jewelry

If your partner is suddenly asking a lot of questions about your jewelry, or you catch them snooping through your jewelry box, this is not a coincidence. I guarantee they don’t already do that, so it’ll be quite obvious once they do. They will probably start finding ways to bring it up in the conversation “oh I like your ring, is that white gold or silver?” or “what size is it, it doesn’t seem to fit right"“. Okay maybe not those exact questions, but you get the gist.

6. They are referring to your future a lot

Talking about the future can be a scary or intimidating conversation topic for some people, especially if you haven’t been dating for 5+ years. If your partner starts to reference plans for the future or things they want to accomplish with you in the future, this is a good tell that they picture being with you forever. There is no way they have the future on their mind, without the thought of marriage along with it. I mean sometimes marriage isn’t important for some people, and they don’t find it necessary in order to spend their life with someone. However, if you clicked on this blog I will assume that isn’t the case ;).

7. The people around you keep dropping hints to get your nails done

It would be a lot easier for your partner if you already regularly get your nails done. However, if that is not apart of your weekly beauty routine, then you’ll probably start seeing the people around you begin nudging you to get them done. If you every time you hang out with a friend or family member and they bring up something about your nails, or talk about a certain nail salon that they go to, then you’ll know it’s time to book an appointment.

8. Your family & friends keep asking how you & your partner are doing….over & over & over

It’s perfectly normal for your family to check up and ask how you and your partner are doing because, ya know, they care. However, if they are bugging you about it everyday until the point where you don’t even want to pick up the phone when they call, then that’s a sign that they are expecting a change in your relationship soon that they do not want to miss out on.
