Some of the toughest things in a relationship is the grey area of whether or not the other partner takes the relationship seriously and whether he sees a future with it.
Sometimes you are ready for marriage but can't figure out if he is of the same opinion.
So you start praying for that ring.
Below are some of the signs you will notice when finally he makes up his mind for you:
1. He becomes frugal
You will see him begin to talk about an upcoming large purchase of things like home or a new car with you. He will even change his spending habit to factor in the future. He is now saving money for the wedding or honeymoon.
2. Unending talk on jewellery
He now talks more about the jewellery that you like. He is very keen on your responses and asks follow-up questions for clarification.
3. Special occasions
If he has begun planning regular special outings for you and is very attentive to detail, you have a clue what is on the way. It could be about taking you to Al-Yusra in town or a weekend at Uhuru Park or even some public time at the receded 'beaches' of Nairobi Dam.
4. Your family
He is now concerned about visiting your family and keeps asking questions about them. He takes note how they respond to specific things in life. He constantly asks, for example, what your father hates or what mum loves most.
5. Checking the size
If straightforward, he will ask you for the size of your ring. If not, he will use your friends to get the information from you.
When these signs come, know that proposing is knocking at the door.
