Hi all! I''ve been a longtime lurker but I think it is officially time that I add myself to the list. My boyfriend and I are both 32. We have been dating for a year. Our relationship has been amazing from the start. We know we are "the ones" for each other. We have been talking about our future and getting married for months now. He even told me that he told his brother 2 months ago that he is going to marry me 
(that made my heart swell so much I thought I would explode!). We do not officially live together yet because I''d like to KNOW that we are on our way to getting married before I commit to living with him (for several reasons).
Over the last few months we have been looking at rings casually. This happens mostly when we''re wandering by a store that peaks our interest. I have always had a huge interest in jewelry - not just engagement rings (but of course now that is my main jewelry obsession). He likes to look at the engagement rings (though not as much as me), and he has on 3 occasions asked to try on wedding bands for himself as well. Only 1 time (last month) have I seen him so interested in a ring that he asked about the price and other info. He even asked me to walk across the room w/ it on so he could see it! But today, we went to a store (on the fly as we were passing by) that I LOVE. He just didn''t seem that interested. So, I looked at a few things and then we left. This was discouraging to me, but I didn''t say anything.
Although we have discussed that we plan to get married, and about some of the details of how we''d like to have our wedding...we have only once discussed when. He said a year and a half. This is ok with me on some levels, though I really don''t want to wait too much longer than that. I love him to death, and I know I will be patient, but I really don''t want to be married 3 years after we started dating at this age. But at the same time, I DON''T want to push him - I really don''t want to be that girl. I think I need to be a bit more patient. No more leading him into to jewelry stores unless he asks. It only makes it worse for me. I keep trying to tell myself is it not a race (especially if it is forever).
I guess this is my long way of introducing myself here so that I can vent here. So, hi and thanks for listening.
