Okay... then how do I get him to propose... like how do I drop the hints?

So just propose. You don't need a ring to propose marriage. You can get down on one knee and ask her to marry you, or you can just say, "I'm ready to get married.

What do you say? Do you want to start planning a wedding for next year?" (All of this is applicable if you want to use an engagement ring or not.) If you want to propose with some sort of token, then you can use anything you want. If she was a jewelry person then I'd suggest earrings, a bracelet, or a watch, but it sounds like she doesn't like those.

You can propose with something else she likes, such as a special book. Or you can write/read her a poem or sing/play a song if that means something to her. If you are unsure of whether or not she'd like a ring, then just ask her.

You can do it before the proposal ("I'd like to get engaged soon, but I'm unsure if you want a ring. Tell me if you want one and we can go pick it out together, otherwise I won't use one"), or you can propose with no ring and then tell her that if she wants a ring or some other token then you'd like her to help pick it out, or she can just tell you what she wants and you'll go get it. You also don't need to have wedding bands, so it's OK to skip those as well.

If you want to wear a ring and she doesn't, that's perfectly OK, too. Some couples opt for tattoos on the ring finger, or elsewhere. If you both agree to that, then that's fine as well.

I suspect that this lady doesn't wear that "beautiful expensive watch" because she doesn't care for your taste in jewelry. This has not occurred to you? Some day I'm going to mail away for a male ego so I'm never troubled with self doubt.

You arrange with a jewelry store to buy a relatively inexpensive ring and then later return with your lady to trade in that ring for something she chooses. Present with a simple ring with a tiny stone and tell her you want her to come to the jewelry store with and pick a ring she really likes. Of course you get to set a spending limit.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
