I think the only time you can tell if he is going to propose is if you get the word from him or your parents(who should be asked for permission- my dad is an older fellow.).

I don't know how I got on that mailing list - my subscriptions to Domino and Gourmet, maybe? Or my frequent visits to Vera Wang Maids circa 2005, when everyone I know got hitched?

But then, maybe I have high standards.

Seriously, does any research go into these types of articles, or does someone just vomit stereotypical bullshit onto the page and dress it up with some stock photos? I guess it's no different than cosmo or any of the other trashy mags/women's interest websites.

Ten Signs She's About to Propose

1. She's growing out of her bachelorette ways.

Or! Work is stressful and everyone is laid off so she's not spending money on anything like going out and, well, you're already in the apartment. Congrats!

2. She's Redecorating
I do this right before/after a big breakup. She is leaving you.

3. She's Curbing Big Purchases
Again, everyone is broke. Works both ways.

4. She's Not Complaining About Weddings
Free booze. See: economy.

5. She's Taken an Interest in Your Jewelry
You have jewelry? She finally figured out you're gay!

6. She Wants to Meet the Parents
She wants to know what she might possibly be in for later in life. This does not mean she wants to marry you. At all. She may actually be looking for an excuse not to.

7. She's Acting out of Character
Umm...she's a lesbian (sorry ex-almost-Mr.-L-Dizzle. Better we know sooner than later!)

"He's Redecorating?" So, uh, he gets rid of the rag rugs he's had since his dorm room freshman year, gets functional furniture, displays an adequate knowledge of window treatments, and allasudden all he wants is penises in dudebutts?

See, getting rid of shit furniture and actually have a comfortable/functional living space doesn't, to me, scream "penises in dudebutts."
