How do i make my distant boyfriend ask for my hand in marriage without sounding pushy?
I think 5 years is plenty long enough for him to ask you, if he is going to! Men are not unaware of ticking clocks. Just go on making clear to him how much you love him. But, at the same time, accept that he may not see it quite the same way, and that if pressed he may not be ready to marry you, now, or maybe ever. Be more open in your social life without him, let it be known that things are uncertain between you and him, and let him know what you are doing and, by implication, that he is losing you, while ensuring that he knows how much you enjoy your times together. Let him work out where he stands, and make a proper bid for you if that’s what he wants. Whatever you do, don’t propose or in any way ask for marriage.
