Do you really want a "surprise" proposal. . .and what does that mean to you?
These days (I mean for the last couple of decades or so), women have dated their SO''s for a long period of time and have taken the same "measure" of the guy that men do with women. Are we good friends? Lovers? Same life goals? Want kids or not?
Like many of you, I would have married my guy with a bread twistie if that''s what the budget allowed. (But I would have wanted to pick the color. . .lol.)
My engagement (20+ years ago) was no surprise. And I didn''t want it to be. I didn''t want to be "shocked" that I "earned" FI status.
But -- I DID want him to say something from his heart when he asked me to marry him.
What are your thoughts?
