A new survey on SWNSDigital.com found more than half of people who are now engaged say they dropped hints to get their partner to propose . . . and it took an average of 36 hints over the course of eight months.
And these are the five most common hints they dropped . . .
1. "Accidentally" sending texts or emails about rings.
2. Putting on shows or movies about weddings to spark a conversation.
3. Getting friends to start conversations about engagements.
4. Leaving websites open about weddings.
5. Casually pointing out rings during shopping trips.
Only 18% of people tried just coming out and saying, "I want to get engaged."
