Ditto, except mine isn''t my DH just yet.

 

[Nomsdeplume]

Never!

 

[Erin]

34 years old and never

 

[misskitty]

Never.

 

[purselover]

just once to FI

 

[Dandi]

Just once, to my spunky DH

 

[LadyBlue]

Just once with my DH

 

[CurlySue]

Never.

 

[Tuckins1]

Twice... But the first time was such a joke. We actually couldn''t stand one another, but for some reason we just couldn''t get rid of one another. I think it had to get to that point of "Holy crap, i''m REALLY going to be stuck with YOU?!?" to make us just break it off for good.

 

[Erinleigh]

Never... but hopefully soon for the first time!!!

 

[PrincessDijon]

Good topic....

Twice for me.

Probably never again.

 

[Lauren8211]

Just the one time, to FI.

If things work out how they should, it''ll stay just the one time.

 

[ckrickett]

24 (25 in gasp like 4 days)
BUT never... unless you count my ex and I we practically had the wedding planned all the vendors on alert and our families up in arms, then I pulled the plug before I got a REAL proposal b/c I knew it wouldn''t work out.

 

[Bia]

once

 

[ringless]

Not yet Hopefully SOON!

 

[D&T]

once is enough to my DH

 

[Lilac]

Once - to my husband.

 

[HopeDream]

Never.

I''m slightly jealous of Ann from Anne of Green Gables because she recieved a whole bunch of proposals (ok, maybe 3?).

I guess it could be awkward if it was from the wrong person, but I like the idea of a man being so enamoured with a woman that he must have her as his wife.

 

[Patchee]

One time - to my husband ... it will be the last time too

 

[Pushin40]

I was engeged once when I was 18. WTF was I thinking???

 

[MrsHToBe]

Uhh, I''m not sure how to answer this one, lol.

To make a long story short, FF has proposed once, already (about 6 years ago), but it was sort of a spur-of-the-moment, under his breath kind of thing, without a ring, etc..
I/we don''t really count it, since we never made anything official (and, honestly, never really talked about it, afterwards)..

I''ll go with never, but hoping for (the real) one, soon!

 

[Camille]

Twice, first time I was a kid he was 17 my senior, hello!!! TG I changed my mind, then met DH. tehehhe

 

[Mannequin]

Twice.

This time I''m keeping him.

 

[princesss]

Zip, zero, zilch.

 

[trillionaire]

Just once to FI!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Twice. The first time was when I was 20 and dating the wrong guy. I was so lucky to have realized how wrong he was for me before the wedding.

Then my husband and I got engaged/married 10 years later.

 

[vespergirl]

Engaged 3 times, but married twice. I was engaged the first time at age 22, to my first husband, when we were just out of college - we were married for two years.

Then I was engaged again at age 26 to a lawyer I had been with for a while, but he had anger issues, so I broke off the engagement after 4 months.

Finally, I met my husband at 27, and we got engaged & married when I was 29 - we have now been married for 3 years, have a 2 year old son, and another baby on the way.

My advice to any young women who want to be engaged is this:
1. Learn how to cook. Not just one dish either. I cook for my husband almost every night (we go out once or twice a week) and it''s totally a way to get to a man''s heart. Most men don''t want to be eating takeout every night for the rest of their lives.
2. Be an avid sexual partner. Not to get too explicit, but men like to think that they will continue having sex after marriage, otherwise they won''t want to take the plunge.

My advice is, don''t be someone who you don''t plan to be in marriage, before marriage. If you plan to be a cooking, cleaning sex goddess for the rest of your life, then by all means... but men marry you for who you are, not who you might become. If you are cooking all the time and putting out, they aren''t going to appreciate it when you stop. Just be true to yourself... don''t try to bait a man into marrying you, you will probably regret it later.
