How do I not pressure my boyfriend into proposing?

Hey everyone,

I'm going to try and make this as short as possible, but no promises. Anyways, me and my boyfriend have been going out for about a year and 2 months now. We are deeply in love, and I don't ever see that changing. I also get along great with his family, and couldn't imagine life without any of them. So what might my problem be? Well we went to a jewelry store on saturday to return a necklace he bought me that kept breaking. Well, they said it was too late to return it, but I could give it back and them use the money towards something else (like store credit). So we were looking at engagement rings and the woman almost made me feel like we were going to be walking out with one! (oddly enough she wasn't pushy). So, my boyfriend says he does want to propose to me but he's afraid of my dad (who would probably say its too early). It's my decision, since I am 19, and I think my dad would respect that with a little time. We both agreed we wouldn't get married until I graduate. I love him dearly, and find myself talking about it ever since. I just hate feeling like I'm pressuring him.. but I love him so much and am so excited about it-- I just can't help mentioning it to him repeatedly! PLEASE HELP!!!

He will propose in his own time, don't push it BUT it is leap year next year and on Valentines Day women can propose, so there you go, get going girl.

give hints but dont be to obvious lol

Relax! A wedding is way over-romanticized in society while the hard truth of marriage is way under explained. You are excited for an event that lasts one day and marriage is a long, hard road of work. It is great that you love each other, and great that your families are involved, but relax and focuse on life and school. You can't help but mention it so change how you think. Think about other things and enjoy being in love!
