In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Marriage is a big step and you want to be sure that you're taking that step for the right reasons, because you've found someone that you honestly want to spend the rest of your life with, not because all your friends are getting married and you think you need to, as well.  If you're looking to get married because you're trying to 'save' the relationship or because you're scared of being alone, those are not reasons to get married. In fact, it's probably a good idea to let the relationship go. However, if you know for certain that marriage to this guy is what you want, then it's time to go for it and put your energy into making it happen. Popping the question should not be the first time the two of you discuss commitment and marriage. You don't necessarily have to talk about it in terms of the two of you (although, you probably should) but it is important to suss out his feelings about this very important thing, especially if you're going to be proposing to him.  Pay attention to how he talks about the future and what he says. If he talks about "we" and "us" (referring to the two of you) in future endeavors, if the two of you live together, own a pet together, have moved somewhere together, he is pretty committed to you. This does not necessarily mean that he is ready for marriage, or even wants marriage, so that is something the two of you should discuss. You can even find a way to talk about relationships in general, or bring up your concerns up in a potential, distant future type of way. For example: "Becky just proposed to Henry in front of his entire family. I think I'd want to do a quieter proposal, don't you think?" When you're planning to propose to a guy you want to make sure that the proposal is about him and what he loves. If you wanted a big proposal in a fancy restaurant in front of everyone, that doesn't mean he would want that. You know your guy best, so make sure you use that knowledge.  For example, if he's really in to fishing, plan a fishing excursion with him and put a note in the tackle box that says "will you marry me?" Another example: if he's a big fan of a certain band, plan a proposal around a show the band is doing in your area (or go wherever the band is performing, even if it's a distance away). This doesn't mean that you should ignore yourself and your desires completely. The proposal should be something that is important and memorable to you, as well. You just have to find some sort of middle ground. For instance, you could follow the fishing date with a three-course candle-lit dinner at a lovely restaurant. Spontaneity is a great thing, but for something like a marriage proposal, you want to have enough of it planned that you can follow the plan even when you're nervous (because you will be nervous, but that's expected!). especially if you're making it a big deal, you want to have all the components figured out.  You'll need to pick a specific place to pop the question, preferably somewhere that has meaning to both of you. It could be where you went on your first date, or it could be the first place you kissed. Picking a place that has meaning to you both works two ways, one, it's already special to you both and two, it provides a great segue into your proposal! Timing is everything. It's better to pick a time when he's relaxed and receptive to making or thinking about making a big change. It's less good to do it when he's stressed about work or school, or distracted by something else (like if you're both at a football game and he's paying more attention to the game than you and what you're trying to ask). You'll want to make sure that the mood is right for what you're about to do. It could be something as simple as lighting a few candles, or pouring out some nice champagne, or you could have a whole lavish dinner set-up. You'll need to consider what is important to the two of you. If you're including other people in your proposal (children, family members, friends, animals) you'll need to make sure that they know what they're supposed to be doing and when and especially that they need to keep quiet about it so they don't spoil the surprise.
Summary: Figure out if you're ready for this next step. Talk about marriage and commitment with your guy. Make the proposal about him. Plan the proposal.
