writes: I have been with the same partner for 8yrs.When I first met him, I told him I was not interested in getting married. I did not tell him why. The truth is I had been in many many relationships where I had been cheated on. I had real trust issues about getting married. At the time he respected that. About 2 years ago he started hinting around that he might be ready. He drops hints about rings and honeymoons. At the time(2yrs ago) we jokingly chatted about it, and discussed details of our wedding in the future. When freinds confront us about an upcoming wedding we both say "maybe someday." He still hints around about getting married. I have had a change of heart and I really feel secure with our relationship.I am very shy and very old-fashioned and could never ask him to marry me.How do I hint back that I am ready for him to ask me without being to forward?

 Dont be shy with your b/f you've been with him 8 years and by the sound of it you would like to spend the rest of your life with him, so now's the time to tell him exactly how you feel about the relationship, start as you mean to go on, you have to be able to talk sincerely to one another throughout marriage as being open and honest is what makes a relationship work. He may not dare to ask again incase you knock him back again, no-one likes rejection.
Take a deep breath and just go for it, tell him you love him and feel secure with him and would love to spend the rest of your life with him. If that doesn't prompt a proposal i dont know what will.
Let me know if he pops the question, if he does dont hesitate say yes loud and clear. lots of luck cherub x
