Hello everyone. I proposed to my girlfriend last night. Over the past month I have been researching diamonds online and ended up deciding on a round .98 carat, ideal cut, I color, VS1 with classic platnium halo setting from Blue Nile.
So last night I proposed at this very special place for us and she started crying and was all excited. Well, after she settled down, wiped the tears from her eyes, she gave the ring a good look and had a confused look on her face. I swear I saw disappointment in her eyes.
I asked her if she liked the ring and she said, "yeah, its good". But I didnt feel any enthusiasm in her voice. She did call her family to tell them and stuff, but later that night I saw her put the ring back in the box and today she almost left it at home when she went to work - but I was like "oh hey, you forget to put your ring back on" before she walked out the door. I have also noticed that she hasn't posted it on facebook or any other social media site. Is that normal?
I am really devastated and don't know what I did wrong. She has really been pushing me to propose and I told her not to worry that it would happen when the time was right. So, I don't think its that she doesn't want to marry me. She even wants to buy a house with me asap. I just really think she is disappointed with the ring.
I don't really get it. It's a nice tasteful ring. The only thing I can think of is that maybe she doesn't think I spent enough on her because the cost the ring is a fair amount lower than 2 month salary for me?
I think that is crazy and sort of pisses me off, because I think I got a nice ring and really didn't want to go overboard with the bling. I want to buy a nice home and start a family too, you know?
What do you guys think I should do? I guess I have to sit down and talk to her about why she almost didn't wear the ring today. It is still in the return period, but I think it is a great ring and if she just wants me to spend more money on a bigger rock, maybe this isn't going to work out!
