Signs He Will Propose Soon

1. He wants you to meet his family and friends

When a guy officially introduces you to his family members, it is a sign he’s about to propose to you. Having made you meet his parents shows he wants to get their consent first before asking you to marry him.

A guy who is not ready for marriage will not officially introduce you to his parents as his girlfriend. If he does, then he has a proposal in mind.

He may decide to introduce you to his friends but not his family members if he’s not yet ready for marriage. But when he finally breaks the ice by making you meet the people that matter to him, he’s planning to propose.

2. He tells you that you’re a wife material

When a guy has it in mind to marry you, he will tell you that you will be a good marriage partner. This might sound like a joke or a compliment but he’s saying this to make you realize that he has made up his mind to marry you and will break the ice any moment from now.

So, if your boyfriend ever tells you that you’re wife material, it means he feels that you’re both compatible and you have the qualities he wants in a woman he will marry.
