Don't be mad at him, and don't rush it. If he hasn't proposed, he's not ready to get married yet. Would you rather have him propose just cause you wanted him to, and not because he meant it?
If they're not ready, they're not ready. Can't rush these things (and probably shouldn't!).
It's perfectly fine to ask. It just depends on the character of the person you're with. Are they putting you off or are they preparing themselves, taking their good time? I heard the other day that there's really no rush to get married. The right relationship would be where you already have the commitment and you don't need to get married for years and years. But if he's someone who's just putting you off better go fish.
Maybe my European viewpoints are pretty liberal concerning sex, but 3 years? That's 1095 days or 26280 hours(!!) and no sex? What are you doing? Enjoy life before you're old and all dried up down there.. And when he's the right one, you can still think about marriage.. Just don't forget the rubber :)
I don't really agree with your days and hour countdown, but I do agree with your basic point. Sex is normal in a relationship, married or not. And honestly... after you've done it once you realize your virginity wasn't as special as you thought it was - or it was like that for me, anyway. But I've always said it's important you see if you're a good match in every way. And that includes sex. If sex isn't any good, your marriage will be a bad one. It's okay to have values, but I personally think the 'no sex until you get married' could get your relationship in more trouble than it's worth. And for people asking what a rain check is: it's a way of saying you'd like to postpone it to a different date. Like, you were going out but it's raining (!) so you ask for a 'rain check' so you can go when the weather's nice.
Rain check?
Shit.
Wouldn't that mean he wants to marry you but not now? Isn't that good in a way?
woah
If he hasn't asked you it means he is either not ready or not interested
It aint all about sex and marrige. If he doesnt seem as interested as you, it's a sign to leave

Next time he asks for sex ask for a raincheck, simple as that.
Not as bad as the FML a while ago about the guy who proposed at Chuck-E-Cheese.
