I'm presuming you're not married to him already?

Hope it wasn't a wrong number Grin

Just kidding. Does he think he's being romantic? Do you care? What did you text back?

Can't say i'd be willing to marry someone who proposed by text. Is he really shy? How long have you been together?

Are you sure it was meant for you? Grin

Have you replied?

It's not exactly a proposal it is more a fishing out before asking so that he knows the answer and won't die on the spot if you do say no comment isn't it?

Its not really a proposal though is it? There's no question in the text, he's stating how he feels. Maybe he wants to tell you that that's where he hopes you are headed?

Proposing by text is a bit Hmm

He could at least ask to your face.

Ah, I think it's really sweet. Especially if it was completely out of the blue and you hadn't even been discussing it. You should text him something back, I'm rubbish at that sort of thing and so can't think of a good reply :(

I don't understand proposals. Sorry!

If two adults are in a serious relationship, why does one of them have to wait patiently for the other one to ask for marriage? Wouldn't you just discuss this stuff, same as you discuss moving house, having kids etc.

I love him but I've always said I won't get married again! I've been unwell & having a bad day so I'm not sure if he's just trying to cheer me up by reminding me that he wants to marry me - he often says he'd love it. I don't know what he'd do if I said yes!

I'd reply along the lines of "ask me in person".

I think it is like MrsRhett says - he's just telling me. I wasn't expecting it - it made me smile. I'm feeling rubbish so it was sweet of him to say that. He's away but will be home tomorrow. Maybe I should just give in and tell him to marry me

Aww I love that!
DH used to say things like that to me via text when we were dating (and v. young) Things like 'I can't wait to marry you' etc.
Made me go all mushy!
miserable git never says anything romantic now

Do you want to marry him ? I know you said you didn't want to marry again but.... I would text him back with a Smile and tell him you love him
