Question: My current boyfriend and I have been...

well.. my dad gave us his blessing the other night.. so.. lucky me?

watch him be like "wow...this is awkward. i was shopping for a birthday gift for my mom..."

As aggravating as it is, u just gotta let it go and let him do it his way. Guys are proud and nervous and excited and can only want it to be just as special as you do. So just chill :) he'll come through soon enough!

so true...if they think ur on to them, they will wait longer til it blows over a bit. they seem to want to do it when u least expect.

what if he was just shopping for a necklace or something for valentine's day???!!! they don't ONLY sell engagement/wedding rings there ;)
seriously tho...congrats!!! don't ruin the surprise. just relax, wait & let it be special.

My boyfriend is a geek too, and I couldnt love him more haha, I'm somehow a geek aswell. Anyway, I think the way he proposed to you is extremely nice. Congrats for that beautiful relationship and good luck with the upcoming wedding =)

i just hope that he was looking at rings and not at a necklace/bracelet/earring or another type of ring other then engagement.
i dont want u to get ur hopes up then have then dashed if it doesnt turn out how u want it to.
dont hate me for my view

enjoy the suspense you lucky babe ;)

My fiancé proposed to me July 4th 2009, but I knew he was going to propose since October of 2008, because he had told me he had found the perfect ring (we're really bad at keeping things from each other :P).
All you can really do is take a breath and try to put it from your mind. You're not supposed to know when he's going to ask you, but the fact that you know he IS going to ask you should be good enough to know you have someone who wants to be with you for the rest of his life.

... why is he waiting to ask if you already know he's going to? I mean, I assume you're going to say yes, and I assume he knows that... so why wait?

I guess some people find propositions more important than I do.

Anyway, as far as I care, my future fiance can get me a mood ring out of a vending machine and say something along the lines of "Well, it'll just be cheaper if we get married." Marriage isn't important to me. I'll probably fall into a common law marriage rather than actually have a ceremony. My boyfriend and I decided that if we're together long enough, we'll get married to help with the health insurance coverage, and we'll probably throw a party, but it's not a testament to our love; I don't need a ring or a veil or way too many flower arrangements to remind me that I love who I am with, and I am going to be there for them, through thick and thin. I have every day for that.
