BTW OP, are you still "one dimensional" and not "contributing to conversations, like anything of 'substance'"?

If he's not ready now, that doesn't mean he won't ever be ready
Ah yes, the operative word, "talk". Talk doesnt cost him a damn thing, and doesnt lock him down. Theres a million threads on a million forums about guys saying they want to marry someone...and it never happens, because it doesnt have to. Guys who want to get married, get married.

Yes but we've made an agreement that after living together for 1 year, we'll get engaged (we both agreed that it was important to live together for a year before him proposing). So it is me not wanting to hold up my end of the agreement of waiting that 1 year.

Nope, I've been much better about not being 'one dimensional' and actually being able to contribute to group conversations.

^^This^^ Why wait for the man to propose when you're both in the relationship and would like to marry one another? By extension, if you'd simply like to get married, go ahead and do it sooner rather than later.

What's the difference between becoming engaged now versus waiting until October other than not having a ring (and probably some grand proposal story) to show off on social media?

Playing house is not a commitment. Move back home.

You're letting peer pressure rule you.

Please stop pressuring this man to do something he so clearly is not ready to do. You're allowing your impatience and insecurity make decisions for you.

Please don't get married. You're not mentally mature enough to be successful at it. Sorry, had to say it.
