would I be able to ask my beau when he will propose to me in light of the fact that its taking too long

My boyfriend and I have been going out since we got into University, that is similar to 7 years back. We are both finished with school and he has landed a decent position and lives alone now while I am still during the time spent landing a
position. We get along well yet he has quite recently declined to pop the inquiry so we can get hitched and proceed onward with our lives. I know he adores and regards me yet this his postponement in getting hitched to me is starting to trouble me. I have been inquiring as to whether he is considering dumping me yet his consideration and fondness says something else. Should I get fearlessness in asking him for what valid reason he hasn’t or I shouldn’t outskirt?
