Ask Evie: Why Hasn’t My Boyfriend Proposed Yet, Even Though We’ve Discussed Marriage?

READER’S QUESTION: “My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years, and he still hasn't proposed. What do I do? For context, we're both out of college and have jobs. He has his own apartment and I share an apartment with friends. He's working on an MBA, so he's in night classes, but he only has one more semester left. We've talked about marriage before, and we both agree that we want to get married. I want the proposal to be a surprise, so I don't want to bring it up all the time, but I also just want him to propose already!!!”
