Question Is he going to propose??

I think I may have met my soulmate. We met in a very unique and speciel way. I posted an ad to meet someone, and through my responses, I got a response from a wonderful englishman who is lives in the same area as me, but was leaving for London and would be there for 5 monthes. Anyway, he sounded interesting, so I ended up starting to corresponding with him. We corresponded in long e-mails for 5 monthes, as well as having very long phone conversations. I knew sort of early, he might be the one. We recently met, and he is even more wonderful then I could have ever hoped for. We had instant chemistry, and we both agreed we have never anyone like each other before. We both feel like we have known each other for years.

Ok, so there's the backround, and now here's the question:

We were out the other night. When the date started out, he was asking me kind of randomly about jewlery, and specifially Tiffanys, then about an hour later he was asking me how ladies weddings rings work and how you buy them, we drove up to a nice spot in the city near which we both lived, and he stopped the car. He asked me this question kind of point blankly. He said: " What would you say if I came back next week ( he's currently out of the country traveling to see his family but will be back next week) and I said to you , ' I have known you for six monthes, and I would like to marry you, what do you say?" I said " Yes." And then he was kind of like " really" and asked me the question again. Later, he was asking me what kind of ring I like, and we were kind of joking around about how much he would spend. Also I asked, where we would get married and he said some very specfic places.

We are both traditional people ( he is 28, I am 23) who believe in monogramy and marriage and both would like to get married. If I did end up getting engaged, I would wait a year, until I graduate college. I have a feeling he would like to get engaged because he has been cheated on by his last girlfriend and I am thinking he would like to make a commitment to me. This summer, he will be traveling often, so maybe he wants to know he's got a fiancee at home. Anyone have any thoughts here?

Well I don't if he has already proposed, but it sounded like he was testing the waters so he wouldn't get rejected.

Sounds highly probable that he'll officially propose soon. I am a bit concerned that you think it's because his last girlfriend cheated on him. That doesn't seem like a good reason to marry someone else.

Sounds like he's ready to me. In fact, if he was trying to be subtle, I don't think he did a very good job.

Be careful.
My BF did all the obvious question asking too, so one the night when I thought he was going to propose, he didn't. He hadn't even thought of it!
I was devastated. I was 99% sure he was going to do it.
So maybe it would be best if you just asked him out straight - 'are you thinking about it?'
