I am writing to ask a question of all you wise people. I have a very close friend who has been dating a guy for 17 months. He told her that he bought her a ring before Christmas, but he has still not given it to her. They both say they want to be married to each other, but he keeps dragging his feet about being engaged. She's tired of waiting around, but she doesn't want to lose the one man she loves.<p>Help. [img]images/icons/mad.gif" border="0[/img]

Men for some reason drag their feet when it comes to proposing and getting married. They are scared and withdraw from you, but yet they don't want to lose their mate. Putting pressure on the person can push them further away. Me and my H went through this about 3 times. When I had had enough, I prepared to move. I looked for another place and was serious about being just friends from that moment on. Why should ones life be put on hold to wait for someone who isn't ready for the next step? It doesn't work for everyone, but we got married 3 months later. He is happy that we married. But the man has to know that he just can't keep test driving the car. Either he buys it or leaves it alone.
