Exactly, what are you trying to say?

I have been with my boyfriend almost 2 years and we have bad some good and bad times. I knowdeep down I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Normally marriage is something thatch be talked about with him once in a great while but more and more he keeps bringing it up. A few weeks ago he asked what kind of ring I wanted. Just last week we went out and he told ne out of the blue he had it picked out, and if I was good I could have it. Than we were out and we ran into a friend/co worker of his. He asked my bf why he just doesn't ask me to marry me and my bf said he wasn't ready but when I graduate from college he will for sure put a ring on my finger. The guy said do it now and get married when I'm graduated and ny bf looked at him with a that could work look on his face. My bf doesn't want ny life t get ruined so he is pushing me to get don with school. Just last night he was telling me how he told some ladies at work that he was gout to buy me a rig out of a quarter machine and they kept giving him ****. What exactly does all this mean?
