Although it is something that drives many of us crazy, the fact is that many men are very reluctant when it comes to making commitment for marriage. It is very common to find men who will say how much they love us but then avoid anything that can bring up the issue of lasting commitment. If your boyfriend is of this type, you can go through a great deal of frustration in case you are already considering marriage. What should you do to get him to marry me?

There are basically two options open to you. First of all, you may resign yourself to the circumstances, and either wait endlessly for him to propose or move on to another relationship. Secondly, you can decide to take measures that will move your boyfriend out of his comfort zone so that he decides to marry. There are actually a few simple steps that help to get him to 'marry me' and yearn for commitment, which you should take advantage of.

1. Use reverse psychology

A very effective method in making a guy long for marriage is not to talk about the topic in the first place. Trying to raise the issue of marriage will just make your boyfriend build more resistance. It will appear as if you are trying to push him into a corner, a situation that no man appreciates.

It is when you show no interest in marriage that your boyfriend will instead be interested in the matter. This is basically due to the fact that men enjoy the thrill of chasing, and satisfaction of reaching success. On the other hand, if they notice that they are the ones being hunted, they will instinctively pull out. Challenge him to the chase, and he is bound to come after you. In the process, he will at last decide to commit to marriage.

2. Pull back a bit

If you are dating a man who does not seem to have any interest in tying the knot, you may think that you risk losing him when you are not always available to him. Unfortunately, this will just make him see no sense in making any more effort. You should instead pull back so that he will have something to miss in you. It is this that will arouse his interest.

3. Maintain your independence

If you sacrifice your independence in the hope that this is what will make him want to marry you, then you are wrong. Do not let go of your interests, and always take care of your financial responsibilities. It is by maintaining your own individuality that you will appeal more to your boyfriend, and thus he will yearn to take your hand in marriage.

As you can see, if your boyfriend won't propose any time now you can actually influence him to long for marriage only if you know how.
