We're quite close (we've discussed our future together, even though we are currently long-long distance me in the US, him in Germany). This summer I'll be staying with him and his family. When we last met, he said some strange things, which are making me wonder if he's going to propose! *The signs* : -His family vacations on these islands every summer, and while he and I were together recently, we also biked by some. He said "but really, these are proposal islands. That is they're purpose. You take her there and let the wind decide if she is the right one."-Like I said, every summer they go to this island for vacation, and while we have not set a date for this time that I'm with them too, he just found out yesterday that I have courses (I'm taking some in Germany) that last the whole summer, and which prevent me from going anywhere! His reaction was "SHIT!"-We passed by a jewelry store and he casually slipped, "Why is it so empty? Where are the watches? I bought two in Geneva" (He had been there recently for a conference).-We sat next to a couple in a bus, taking us to some islands, and he whispered, "See? He knows what he's doing, taking her to the island."-He mentioned once recently that silver probably looks better on him, since he's so pale.-We were sitting at a coffee shop, and I told him about Harry Houdini and his wife, and how they met, and as I was recounting their story, he told me that we could also be like that.-A couple weeks ago his friend proposed to his girlfriend, and she told my boyfriend that he's not at work because he went to go pick out a suit, to which my boyfriend asked her where he's buying it.-Until recently, we used to keep a spreadsheet where we figured out our spending for meetings and dates, and then split it all down the middle. As of our last meeting, he has stopped keeping track, even spending money on food for both of us, etc, which is new in our relationship.So what do you think? Cheers,~me

 It certainly looks like he is making a few comments and judging your responses. Perhaps this could be reassurance for him in proposing to you! If this is something that you want, give him as much positive feedback as you feel necessary and look forward to the special moment when he asks!
