Your history with Johnny spans over nine years, a significant duration of time that speaks to the depth and commitment of your relationship. Despite this long-term commitment, you have only ever referred to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. Given the time that has passed, you feel that it would be appropriate to take the next step and get married. However, you are uncertain about Johnny's feelings on the matter and whether he shares your desire to formalize your relationship.
From the onset of your relationship, you have always envisioned the day he would slip a new ring on your finger and introduce you as his fiancée. Even though you have never explicitly talked about it, you are confident that Johnny is fully aware of your desire. You tend to bring up the topic of marriage indirectly during conversations. However, Johnny never seems to respond in the way you'd expect, often deflecting the subject or showing a lack of comprehension. This leaves you feeling insecure and uncertain about your future together.

The photos of the happy couple, the smiling guests, and the beautiful decorations were all reminders of the joy that surrounded you. However, as you scrolled deeper, you stumbled upon a world of wedding inspiration. You were captivated by the intricate bouquets, the delicate centerpieces, and the stunning floral arrangements. You found yourself lost in a daydream of your own special day. Johnny couldn't help but notice how focused you were on your phone.
As the car comes to a stop at a red light, Johnny leans over to take a peek at your phone and asks, "What's got your attention, honey?"
