How about..."hey, you do know I want to marry your sexy ass right???"

Happy nuptials.
This is kinda what I'd thought about saying before I asked, so could just leave the question off.

Yea...

Welcome to our world!!

You never know how far a bullet will go when you shoot it blindly. The same with questions of the heart. If he does "run for the hills", then you two were not meant to be. I know that sounds harsh, but that is a reality you will have to face. You can't make him feel the same about you that you feel for him, you can't undo, mistrust he may feel for the gentler sex, if he has had a bad experience, and if you have different views of your future together, then, your future "together" may not be in the cards. Again, no one here knows him like you do, so we can only guess and speculate. But if fear of losing him is the only thing stopping you, then you may need to reevaluate your relationship in general. JMHO ( I'll stop channeling my inner DR. Phil now)
He's said he's not going anywhere ever lol. But yea, let's just say I'm glad his ex lives far far away from me. Any woman who could not be there waiting when her man returns from a year over seas.....yea we'd have some words to say the least.

If he ain't on board after hearing that, I don't know what to tell you! Maybe "You know I'm armed right cowboy?" :fire :tiphat:

I agree that letting him know that is what you see happening and that you want to start the process is the right way to go about it.

Once he agrees that is what he wants to do and a time frame is discussed, let him do the honors of asking you formally. My wife and I agreed that our relationship was going to end in marriage and the general time frame that we wanted it to happen. We shopped and bought engagement ring and wedding band together, and after doing that I formally asked her.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Buy him a Barrett M110 50 Cal Sniper Rifle, complete with optics, magazines and at least 1000 rds of ammo. He'll ask you to marry him.

Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

Wait... You're a girl?!?!?

There are girls on here (besides Crossfire)???

Only kidding. I'm old fashioned. I would not like for a woman to ask me to marry her. Frankly, if I was interested, I would be the one bringing it up... But that is just me. I'm the guy who believes in "If there is an elephant in the room, introduce him." So I might not be the best one to listen to.

Start with "So, what do you think about us getting married in the next year or two?

It let's him know that you are interested and if he wants to, he will commit, if he doesn't, then now you know.

If he's used to you being blunt, simply ask him if he plans to ask you to marry him any time soon.

Or....

Tell him you've decided not to have sex again until you are engaged to be married.

Well... If he won't marry you, seems to me that you'd be quite a catch for anyone else.
