Hi Ladies!
I’ve finally decided to register and introduce myself.
The boy and I have been together for over two years. We’ve been through a lot together (living on different continents for a semester, lots of medical problems in my family recently), and he’s been amazing through all of it. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
I was flipping through a magazine over the summer and he spotted me physically grimacing at a photo of a ring. (I didn’t even realize I was doing that.) When he then asked me what kind of rings I did like, I realized that I really didn’t know myself. I started googling different things, and stumbled upon pricescope.com. I’ve been lurking ever since.
Even lurking on the LIW forum has been immensely reassuring at times. It seems like there’s been a rash of quick engagements at my university lately. One of my acquaintances just got engaged to a guy she’s known for two months, and another to one she’s known for six. People keep asking when I’m getting engaged -- a question that would seriously make much more sense if I were the one proposing. It’s reassuring to see that a lot of couples wait years before getting engaged, and it’s not that there’s something wrong with us.
In the midst of all of this and of waiting to hear back from graduate schools (me) and jobs (him), the boy realized that I was worrying about the proposal/our future and asked if I wanted to know his timeline. It turns out that it’s “girl-soon”!!! He wants to propose by graduation, which is mid-May.
By the way, I was accepted into a couple graduate programs that I love only a week later. It’s beginning to feel like everything’s coming together.
