Can I offer just a tad bit of advice from the male perspective? And please don't jump down my throat, I'm just trying to shed some light on the subject that may be missed being seen from the other gender's angle.

Men are afraid to commit. Men strive off of wandering free, although we know that being with a partner can be more beneficial, we also are aware of a certain wandering free life that will be gone forever. It takes a little time for us to wrap our minds around that notion. We all know this, but there is a certain time in a man's life when he is ready to accept that with open arms. Do NOT rush him. Now, waiting 15 years is a different story. Obviously, that guy's not coming around. But, to a man, 2-3 years is not a long time where us natural born procrastinators need to light a fire under our asses about.

Women work off of a biological clock, I get this, and it really is a day that many women sit and dream about as if it's this magical day and plan out every detail, but sometimes the only way to get to that day is patience.

Not saying it's fair, just saying... that's how it is. It's not as much a mystery as you think it is. Trust me. Pushing a guy to take on a responsibility that he does not think he is prepared for (even though he is and YOU know it) isn't going to help the situation. It's only going to make it worse.
