Questions: Dating

So my boyfriend and I would text/send voice memos to each other and he says he cares about what I have to say and whats going on in my day/ life even if not much is going on. I've noticed is that he doesn't remember/ pay attention to things going on about my day or what I tell him. Sometimes I'm at the point where i don't want to talk much about my day or what's going on in my life because all he talks about his day and what's been going on at work etc. He does sometimes remember and pay attention but i find there's a lot of times where he doesn't pay attention to what i say. I am very patient and understanding but sometimes I get in these moments where there's no point in saying anything because I know sometimes it will go over him and zone out.

So my boyfriend and i have been together for three years and he has been dropping hints that he might propose soon (looking at rings, being secretive, etc.) I'm wondering if I should get my nails done (gel or acrylics due to nail biting habits) or leave it as is?
