How To Get A Man To Propose, No Club Required

We've all seen the cavemen cartoons. A caveman comes in, selects a mate, clubs her on the head, and drags her by her hair back to his own cave where he makes her his woman. If you're currently trying to figure out how to get a man to propose to you, then you're probably wishing you could reverse this strategy and use it on him.

Although I'm sure plenty of men have been clubbed over the head by women throughout the ages, it's not the best strategy to get him down on one knee...at least not with a ring in hand. Sorry ladies, I know you're disappointed.

Before you start getting discouraged, know that there are in fact actions you can take today that will help get the man you love and adore to commit to being your husband. Unfortunately, many women tend to go about this process all wrong, and fail to see marriage and commitment from a male's perspective.

Typically what women will do when they want to get a man to propose is they start interrogating him. They ask him a million questions about why he hasn't married them yet. They start questioning his love. They start wondering if there's someone else. They express feelings of disappointment and get emotional.

When you're a woman it's only natural to view a wedding and marriage from a woman's perspective, but if you want your man to propose you need to understand what's going through his mind. In short, you need to understand men. Period.

For a man, the thought of marriage and a wedding is very stressful. It has nothing to do with your man not loving you, but men are wired to be rational, not emotional. Men are the head. Women are the heart. When a man thinks of marriage, he starts thinking about the costs. He wants to know that he can provide everything you want and need without putting you both in the poor house.

He wants to make things special so he has to come up with the perfect way to propose and the perfect ring you're going to be proud to show off. When it comes to commitment, your man wants everything to be perfect. If it's not, then he feels like he is letting you down.

This leads to a lot of stress that makes men gun shy. And when you're constantly talking about marriage, showing him pictures of big expensive rings, or telling him how amazing your friend's wedding was, it only causes him to feel more pressure to make your special day even better.

What most men don't realize is that everything doesn't have to be perfect and you'll love him just the same. However, call it pride, ego, or whatever you want, but men don't want to feel cheap when it comes to marrying you.

If you want to increase your chances of getting him to propose, you need to let him know that you admire him and think he's amazing just the way he is and that as long as you're with him, you have everything you need. If he's stressed financially, he won't feel it's the right time to propose. His rational mind simply won't let him commit.

However, if you can get inside his mind and understand it, you can turn the tables and get him to his knee, no club required.
