I''ll preface by saying that I know there are a lot of women here in the same or similar boats, and that there is no "magic" thing anyone can say to make waiting easier, but I''d love to hear everyone''s stories!
So, my bf and I have been together a little over two years (I am 27 and he is 29). We''ve been living together for a year and a half, and own a condo together. When we bought our condo last August, I told him that before we signed the paperwork, I wanted to know that we would be getting engaged within the next year. He said yes, saying that he had planned all along to propose by this summer (07). Then, six months went by with no proposal, and I started getting antsy. Recently, though, he told me that he had been ring shopping and talking to some of his guy friends about where they went for their wives'' rings! He was, however, completely opposed to me shopping with him to pick out the ring, though I had emailed him a few that I liked.
Then, last week, he found out a friend of his took his gf ring shopping, and she picked out her own ring. Next thing I knew, he was taking me ring shopping, and yesterday, we bought a ring! I absolutely love it, and I think while we were shopping he realized that I picked out something completely different from what he would have picked, so he is happy we did it together.
But, now it needs to be ordered and the stone needs to be mounted, and the jeweler said it would take 3 weeks!
And guess what? We are going on a weekend trip together in *exactly* three weeks, and I had thought maybe he''d ask me then, but I know he won''t do it without the ring! He''s having a great old time being "mysterious" about when it will happen, and is all excited about doing a special proposal.
He even told his best friend that we bought the ring, and told me that his friend was giving him ideas for how to propose. But... he teased that he knew I was wondering when it would happen, so he told me that it would most likely not be until June! In fact, he "ranked" the months until August, saying June was #1, July was #2, April was #3, August was #4, and May was #5. Why the weird order? "Well, we''re very busy in May," he says. Aagh!
This is supposed to be the easy part, right?? Knowing that it''s going to happen for sure within the next few months?? Sorry for such a long post, but needed to get that out!
