How can you get a long-term boyfriend to propose?

According to The Knot, the best way to get your long-term boyfriend to propose is to have an honest conversation with him about the future. Talking things out may help shed light on why he hasn't proposed yet and perhaps ease the concerns he has about proposing.

Even in a stable relationship, a lot of men may fear rejection from a marriage proposal, so indicating that you would say yes to a proposal could give him the push he needs to propose. Indicating the type of engagement ring you want can also help expedite a proposal, as ring shopping can be intimidating for a man if he doesn't know what he should be looking for.
