“This is one of the biggest signs that your partner is going to propose and wants you to feel and look your best for those all-important engagement ring photos!” she said.

Other signs include your partner’s increased proactivity, such as planning a trip or making more effort to talk to your family.
“If your partner isn’t normally involved in vacation planning but suddenly becomes very hands-on, it could indicate they’re planning a special proposal abroad,” she explained.
“Secondly, if you’ve been together for a while and have a special day coming up (like a birthday or your anniversary), this could be another sign that they’re planning to propose to you.”
Collective family help is not uncommon and those who notice it should close their eyes, she advised.
“If you notice an increase in the time they spend with your family when you’re not there or if they keep sneaking out for private conversations with them, they may be seeking your blessing or doing some extra planning with them,” she said.
“If conversations stop when you enter the room or family gatherings start to feel a little different than usual, they’ve probably had ‘the talk!’ she added.
If you suspect this may be the case, be sure to agree to perform them. There would be nothing worse than having your nail polish chip off when your partner puts on their engagement ring!

“Try to avoid asking what they’re talking about so you don’t reveal that you know something is going on or ruin the surprise.”
Other changes in your behavior, such as mood swings, can be enlightening.
“If your partner starts acting more nervous or becoming unusually quiet around you, it’s a telltale sign that something might be going on,” she said.
“In such a scenario, they are probably worried about the proposal and anxiously pondering their answer to the big question.
“If you notice them exhibiting signs of heightened anxiety, try to support them as much as possible without revealing your suspicion that a proposal might be coming.”
Wyganowska added that conversations about the future could be an attempt to get on the same page.
Any sudden budget or seemingly random interest in your jewelry can also be a big tip.
“If they start wanting to have a quiet night in instead of going out with the boys or cooking dinner on Saturday night instead of the usual takeout, these are important signs that your partner is more mindful of their budget, possibly in preparation for marriage,” she said.
“If you catch your partner snooping around your jewelry box or rummaging through your drawers, they may be trying to figure out your ring size and preferred style without asking you directly.
“If you suddenly can’t find your favorite ring despite remembering where you last left it, this could be a subtle hint that wedding bells could be heading your way.”
