Is he all of a sudden “we-ing” you? You know, “I think WE should get a house close to downtown” or “When WE go on vacation next year, what do

you think about a cruise?” A guy who talks a lot about the future and is making sure to include you in it? At the very least, he is thinking

of you in the long-term which is a hop, skip and short jump away from a proposal. Don’t let him know that you’re doing it, but keep count of those

kinds of discussions. You’re probably onto something. BIG.

If you’ve already shared a couple of Christmases together, but he wants to do something radically different from the usual, this is also a sign. Do you tend to go

to his mom’s, but this year he wants to be with your parents? Do you tend to stay close to home, but this year he wants to go on a

road trip? Has he suggested not exchanging gifts, but going the more sentimental route instead? We’re not saying this is a 100 percent sign that you’ve got a diamond in

your future, but you’ve definitely got a surprise headed your way. Get excited!

Snoopers are the worst. The only exception is during the holidays. If he’s going through your jewelry box, if he’s asking you odd questions or you come home and he’s

on the phone with your best friend (and you can’t remember the last time he did that), yeah. Something’s up. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Your friends? Friends are an automatic giveaway. What are yours doing? Giggling a lot? Asking you if you’re looking forward to the holidays? Going into a harmonious “Aww” every time

you bring your man’s name up? Don’t let them know that you’re onto them, but let this be a pretty telling sign too. We’re not sure why guys tell their

lady’s friends about engagement plans, but if you like to know things ahead of time, it can certainly work in your favor.

Here goes a definite one right here! Why would anyone recommend a manicure appointment? Especially if they’ve never mentioned it before! Not to get you too hype or anything, but

know that if a mani/pedi comes a week before Christmas and it’s not the norm for you, a nice piece of jewelry is headed your way. If not an engagement

ring, something. That alone is something to put a HUGE smile on your face, don’t cha think?
