how do you tell him he's "the one"

How do you tell your s/o he's the one you've been waiting for all your life and he's the one you wanna spend the rest of your life with? I'm a very traditional kind of woman and I want him to propose. We live together and have a cute kitty together too! He's told me so many times that I'm the one he wants to marry and he can't wait to see me on our wedding day..but the thing is is that I haven't heard the magic question? He also is a very traditional man and wants to ask for my father's blessing before he asks me....am I just impatient? Lol
