They've only been dating for two-and-a-half weeks, but Snooki's new boyfriend Jeff Miranda thinks she's the one and is proposing to his girl on the cover of Steppin' Out magazine.

Bending down on one knee, shirtless in his army fatigues, the Iraq-war vet popped the question to Snooks, with one very big thing missing: a ring!

Miranda says the proposal will come as a big shock to Snooki (aka Nicole Polizzi.) But, "Once she deals with the shock I think she'll say yes. I really do. In fact, I know she'll say yes.”

Why will the breakout star of Jersey Shore who makes $30,000 an episode be so quick to jump into marriage with Miranda?

“I want us to be together forever. I could see us having children," the New Yorker says. "I want to pop the question to her. If we got married we would be the best parents around. She's so loving and puts everyone else before her self. She'll be a great mother.”

Well, you can't argue with that!
