5 Years and NO ring?!?

[baknox]

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5+ years and there has been no sign of commitment. He still lives at home (almost 27 yrs old - that's another forum though) but has just bought a house and has been working on it. He as been asking for my advice and input on the new items and decorations for the house. We are making decisions on the house as if it were going to be our home. Until about 1-2 weeks ago I thought we weren't getting married because he did not have the money to buy the ring that we like (we have been looking at engagement rings 2-3 times and have picked out a ring). He told me a few weeks ago he was not sure if he wanted to get married. He told me not just not to me but in general. He said he thinks he would eventually but he is content now and why change something that is currently working. We get along well, we have good times when were are together. There is no abuse of any kind in our relationship. I will be done with school in July and I have told him if there is not a commitment soon I will be looking for jobs away from him. He told me looking does not hurt. What does that mean? Was he being literal or just trying to say "Go, I don't care". What should I do? I don't want to lose him. I Love him and I see him being the father of my children but I can't wait forever.
