A couple months ago I told my boyfriend I wanted to marry him, and... we haven't really had any talks that would count as "deliberately moving us closer to marriage."
But I mean, it's only been 9 months of dating, and I had told him before that I wanted to wait a year before getting married (I'd read that in a Dr. Dobson book lol). So the relationship is still young.
I just want to have patience. I have this frustration, and it's not healthy. I don't want to be, like, "why aren't you giving me what I want, when I want it?" I want him to lead in this; I want him to pursue me.
My biological clock is ticking though--I'm in my late 20s so the door feels like it's closing on having kids.
Any advice for being patient? Any tips for what I should do to subtly help things along?
