Proposing to your girlfriend is an exceptional occasion for both of you. If your man could keep the whole thing a secret, even then, the actual moment is something you will not forget for your entire life.
Even if he cannot keep the proposal a secret when he kneels down in front of you with a beautiful ring, you will feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
There are numerous wedding proposal videos online, and still, one of the cutest wedding proposals I have seen is from Taylor Swift Love Story music video. Especially when she sings, “Marry Me Juliet.”
“Marry Me Juliet!”: Is Your Guy Planning A Proposal?
One of the four beautiful words you could hear from your long-term partner is, “Will you marry me?” Watching beautiful proposal videos online, sometimes girls like us make us wish that our boyfriends would propose to us like that.
These are the times I like to think of the Taylor Swift love story music video. In that video, she dressed as Juliet and her boyfriend as Romeo, and the song is about their love story.
“We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
I’m standin’ there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, “Hello”
Little did I know”
[Pre-Chorus]“That you were Romeo, you were throwin’ pebbles
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
And I was cryin’ on the staircase
Beggin’ you, “Please don’t go, ” and I said”
[Chorus]“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby, just say, “Yes”
[Verse 2]“So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, ’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh”
[Pre-Chorus]“’Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
But you were everything to me
I was beggin’ you, “Please don’t go, ” and I said”
[Chorus]“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby, just say, “Yes”
Romeo, save me, they’re tryna tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story, baby, just say, “Yes”
[Post-Chorus]“Oh, oh”
[Bridge]“I got tired of waiting
Wonderin’ if you were ever comin’ around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,”
[Chorus]“And I said, Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, “Marry me, Juliet
You’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story, baby, just say, “Yes”
[Outro]“Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause, we were both young when I first saw you.”
But not all proposals are like a fairy tale; in real life, there are more than a few signs of understanding whether your boyfriend or partner will propose to you or not.
And today, I am going to give you sure signs and clues you can look for to see if you are going to get proposed soon. Or not if you wanna keep it a secret and get surprised on D-Day.
1. He Snoops Around Your Jewelry Box.
Though not a very significant sign, it is a possibility that if you find your partner looking around your jewelry box.
This might be because he is looking for a ring you already own and wants to know your size. Although this might be a bit of a stretch, it is still possible and can also be a sign.
If you find him looking around your jewelry box, you can simply ask him, wait and see his reply. If he acts normally, then there might not be anything special, but if he acts fidgety and nervous, then something is surely up.
2. He Let Go Of The Bachelor Lifestyle.
For guys, it is quite important to hold onto their independence and freedom in their bachelor life. And getting into a lifelong committed relationship like a marriage can be terrifying.
But if you suddenly see that your man is ready to let go of his bachelor life and is ready to settle down with you, then a proposal is possible.
You can see this change in behavior in him when he spends more time with you, doing coupley things and surprising you with thoughtful gifts.

3. He Spends More Time With Your Family And Friends.
All of a sudden, you are seeing that your boyfriend is spending more time with your friends and family. There are two reasons for this, either he is trying to get close to your family and friends and get to know them better.
Or the other option can be that he is planning a proposal with their help and even asking them for ideas and recommendations. This is a sign that a proposal is on the way, and your friends and family might already know.
4. He Is Becoming A Bit Secretive And Giddy Without Any Reason.
If your boyfriend is a very open person and is not now to keep secrets or be secretive in any way. But if suddenly he becomes secretive and giddy in front of you, can be suspicious.
It is obvious that he is hiding something that might not be something troubling, but a surprise for you. Maybe the reason why he is so secretive is that he is planning a secret proposal for you and wouldn’t wanna slip anything out in front of you.
5. He Starts Talking About The Future And Family.
A guy who is not serious about a girl would not talk about the future and having a family in the future with the girl.
So if your boyfriend is talking with you about the future, he is a keeper and is ready to start a family with you. This might be an easy sign that he is going to propose to you.
6. He Shows Signs Of Commitment.
After a certain age, of about the late 20s and early 30s, most of your and friends are getting married, and this might trigger a sense of commitment in them.
These are the times when asking the big question might spark in your boyfriend’s mind. He might feel like it’s about time that the both of you get married and start a family together.
7. You Accidentally Find The Ring.
If the two of you share a home and have been in a relationship for a few years, then your stumbling upon a ring box is quite possible.
It is possible that your boyfriend bought a ring to propose and hid it somewhere around the house that the two of you share. So your stumbling upon the ring somewhere around the house is quite obvious.
8. Your Family Is Acting Weird In Certain Gatherings.
So let’s believe that your family and even your friends already know about the upcoming proposal, then it is possible that they might act weird in front of you.
Either laughing secretively in front of you or start giving you certain hints to you. Most of the time, your boyfriend or your partner might need a little help in planning the whole thing if he is planning something elaborate.

You will start to notice that he is spending more and more time with you and is getting to know you more on a deeper level. He might change his regular schedule and make time for you always.
This is a sign that the man is ready to settle down and be fully committed to you and you only. If your man chooses you over his friends, then this man is a keeper, and you are his number one priority.
10. “I” Became A “We” For Him.
With time if you start noticing that his regular pronouns of “I” change to “We,” if you see this happening then wedding bells are in your near future. He will start planning certain events for both of you and not just him alone.
So if your boyfriend is using such pronouns like “we” and “us” and is ready to be engaged with his partner and wedding bells are in the near future it is possible that he already bought the ring.
