slow moving bf

He is still very young and probably is not at the same stage in life as you. You can wait it out or move on.

Fertility peaks at age 20 then starts to decline slowly. You need to get talking to this guy and soon!

theres an age difference. im sorry but even 3 years can have a huge difference. talk it out with him see what he thinks about it first but 22 is still young don't force him to marry you because it'll probably end badly if its forced. try talk it out n if he doesn't want marriage then try to move in with him

Geez, cougar, settle down. He wants fun, and is probably already sleeping around while your old ass is sitting at home waiting for him to propose.

I think you should see how he feels about it first. And even though there isn't that big of an age difference, he is still 22 and probably isn't even thinking about marriage.

The best thing you can do is talk to him. Theres no way he'll know how your feeling if you dont tell him. You need to know where you stand. How does he feel about getting married? Does he want kids? Where does he see the relationship in two more years? Maybe he's not ready to have kids? The sooner you find out the better. Because if he doesn't want what you want in life you will be happier with someone who does! I don't think its all because of the age difference. When two people want the same things in life it doesn't matter what the age differince is. So go on and talk to him, let him know how you feel. And how much you love him, want to be with him and start a family with him. Be sure and get him to talk to you about it. Really find out what he's thinking! I wish you all the best!

I dont agree that 7 years age gap is huge...rather the time you guys are in. 20s are such a big part of someones life- early twenties you wanna go out and have fun, save marriage until you're closer to 30- you on the other hand, are closer to thirty. You, presumably, have had your fun and so its difficult to say here. Either wait and don't rush him but even the way u phrased "get" suggests he isnt up for it. Having a baby at 22 is very different to at 29, and marriage and babies are serious- they're for life, every decision you make effects a child. So dont just marry him because u feel like you're running out of time, wait!!

The very phrase "how do I GET HIM to marry me" sounds like you're forcing him, and only want to get married because it's the thing to do. He's 22 and he needs to grow up a little more before he will be ready to get married. And clearly you need to wait too.

Hes probably not mature enough to commit yet so really talk to him

Get a life girl! 22 is so young and you're wasting it on worrying about some guy putting a ring on your finger and a baby in your belly! This is so sad. But besides that, if you have to post on here for advice than clearly your relationship is no where near the level of engagement and marriage. The fact that you didn't even realize that shows you as an individual are not ready for marriage.

There is no reason in the world that you can not propose to him --- this is not 1955 anymore! Tell him that you love him and want to spend your life with him. Steph

You need to talk to him about it. Maybe he doesn't even know that you feel that way, and honestly, it IS a very big age difference. But you never know :) Good luck!

The last comment (tick-tock vs. boobies) summarizes it best. My hat's off to that commenter. Well done! VOE

your thinking "tick tock" he's thinking "boobies"

You are at completely different stages in life. At 29 you are ready to settle down, and he's just young and not nearly ready or mature enough yet. At 22, marriage is probably so far off of his mind. You need to consider this and decide together if you both want the same things out of the relationship.

Maybe u are just two old 4 each other. 29 is WWAAAY older then 22 && some guy that is 29 might want the same things that u do.

you too are in different stages of life you want babies and a family and he probably wants to bar hop with his friends

22???? you 29???? that is the problem and the answer. date someone older.

y not just propose urself?! women do that all the time now and my auntie even did it with my uncle like 7 years ago. Do it!!

Have you spoken to him about it, is marriage something that he's thinking about? Would you live together before you get married, if so why don't you take that step first and see how that works out before you commit to each other forever
