When you’ve dated someone for a while in most African societies, you start wondering when your partner would pop the big question. It’s that season again when every special moment looks like a great setup for a proposal. Your heart is racing and you don’t hear everything he says during dinner. “When is he gonna ask?” No, he doesn’t want to ask now. While a lot of engagements happen on Valentine’s Day, people pop the big question when they are ready, so don’t look up thinking he’d be on his knees when you look down.
But if you hate surprises and would love to know when he’s likely to propose, here are five of the most popular days people get engaged, according to a survey by WeddingWire, a global marketplace connecting engaged couples with local wedding professionals. Results from the survey showed that 40% of all engagements take place between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. So, if he has not proposed, there’s a big chance he won’t propose on Valentine’s Day. But, according to research, here are other dates to look forward to:
1. Christmas Day (25/12)
2. Christmas Eve (24/12)
3. New Year’s Day (1/1)
4. New Year’s Eve (31/12)
5. Day before Valentine’s Day (13/2)
6. Saturday before Christmas Eve
7. 2 Saturdays before Christmas Eve
8. December 23rd
9. The day he’s ready
