The Situation

"He says he needs a sign before proposing and keeps moving the goalpost"

The Brutal Truth

His incessant need for a sign before proposing is a tactic to delay commitment. This means he is either unsure about his feelings or unwilling to take the plunge, and you shouldn't have to prove your worth to him.
