 hey :)
Just because he hasn't proposed yet it doesn't mean he doesn't love you. It probably means he's either waiting for the right time or he's not ready to propose yet. I wouldn't push him, let him do things in his own time. If you stop expecting one, when he finally does it, it will be a wonderful surprise!
I wouldn't leave him just because he hasn't gotten around to it yet. Let him do things in his own time and keep on hinting!
Guys usually don't get subtle hints, they don't read into the little things as much as we do. You may feel like you've been dropping hints left, right and centre, but chances are most of them went straight over his head! If he's saying "hmmm ... someday.." it could mean one of two things; he;s in the process of planning how to propose to you and is trying to be mysterious.. or if not, you know he at least plans to propose to you at some point. It's not like your relationship isn't going anywhere, it's just not going as fast as you want it to.
"Be patient" probably isn't what you want to hear, but it's probably what you should do. Boring as it is, it means your guy can do things in his own way, at his own pace, with his ego still intact :)
