If you were my sister or some gal I cared for, I would make sure you knew the following info. Because, more often than not, it is an ugly fact and I would not want you to waste anymore of your precious time on a dead end deal.

If the guy you are with tells you over and over again that he loves you or is "in love" with you, and he also asks you to marry him over and over,but he never produces a ring/proposal/plan, chances are he is playing you for all you are worth and will never really marry you. So run, don't just walk, away!

An observation and opinion only. But maybe also a helpful tip, too?

Completely agree. I'll add to it another way: If he is sending you mixed signals, he is actually sending you one big signal ! So walk.

That is very sound advice. I've been in that kind of relationship and the "marriage" talk usually comes right before can i have some money, let me use your car or some request for sex. Ladies Beware!

I would think that you're letting out trade secrets, but this one is almost a no brainer; and one a woman should be easily able to spot.

And yet how many times do we hear "He SAYS he loves me and wants to marry me, but....." ?

Actually, younger women really don't know this. They keep waiting for the ring.

When my second husband and I decided to get married, we got each other's names tattooed on our backs instead of rings.
The funny thing is, although we'd been living together for a couple of years, I still wasn't legally divorced from my son's father; we were just separated. Our relationship was amicable, so we decided not to bother with legally divorcing (which cost more than we could afford) until one of us wanted to remarry.
So anyway, me and my then-fiance walk into the tattoo shop and tell the guy that we want each other's names tattooed on our backs, in Old English letters. The tattoo guy sort of half-heartedly tried to caution us away from this idea, but we weren't having any of it.
"Are you at least married?" he finally said.
"I am," I said, "but he's not."

...

Of course, we ultimately got exactly what we wanted. Money talks.

And the really nice, trusting ones-who haven't yet become jaded by having dealt already with these types of male slime balls/ jerks, either!
