Is he "throwing hints"?

I'm wondering if my boyfriend could possibly be throwing hints my way to let me know how he really feels. Also it could be an effort to see how I feel.

Last night we went out to eat and then went to Barnes & Noble...well, we had left there, and he asked if there was anywhere else I'd like to go. I told him to let me think for a sec, and then he said, "why don't we just go to the court house and get married?" I replied, "well, I don't believe they marry people at this hour." So he said, "Ah, I don't guess that matters, we could just stand on the steps and say the words, and that should be enough." And then there was a car slamming on breaks in front of him, and the conversation died, went on to something else about the traffic.

He tells me he could see me every single day and never get tired of it.
He loves the mountains...from time to time he'll talk about how he wants to take me there. And usually he'll also mention how his future wife can decide everything about the wedding if she wants to, that he'll go along with whatever, as long as the honeymoon can be in the mountains.
He tells me sometimes that I remind him of his mom (in a good way).
Now this may sound a bit weird...but he has told me twice that I can remember, that he thinks I will look extremely cute when I am pregnant.
He tells me I bring joy to him, that I mean "so much" to him (we haven't said "I love you" yet), that he never wants me gone from his life and neither can he see me gone, that I will make someone a good wife one day, that I'll be a good mother...and he does all sorts of little special things for me, like sends me sweet texts and emails, and last night right before he left my house, he left me a little note in my car.

He sure is special. So what do you guys think? He is obviously showing me how much he cares...and am I right to think he is considering marriage...possibly...perhaps?

I would personally find that disturbing if my bf said those things to me - like the pregnant thing and courthouse thing.

But that's just because neither of us want to go there any time soon. :p

Dropping hints you think? More like dropping bricks. Any more obvious, and he'd be tieing you down to shove the ring on your finger. ;)

So he's not a subtle creature, eh? :)


I have been there and done that before (dated subtle, almost shy guys)...so glad I'm not there again. This guy is confident and will tell it like it is (quite honest), but he also is extremely gentle and understanding. He reveals neither too much, nor too little.


This afternoon we were walking around in Kohl's and he mentioned how I told him someone has to be really good and clever to surprise me completely. He told me that he was going to surprise me like that. So I told him good, and then I asked when I might could expect it...I wasn't sure if he possibly was referring to my birthday again, which is a couple weeks away.

I don't think it's that, because he said, "Well, I really can't even give you an idea of when, cause I'm not sure about that myself. I just know I'm gonna do it, that it WILL happen."

So, speculation arises! But I'm not going to do too much of that and preoccupy myself with it.

I just know I love this guy very much. :)
