Hello Everyone,
I've been lurking around the ladies in waiting forums for a year now. It has been so helpful reading a lot of your stories and really related to what a lot of other people are going through.
I've been with my boyfriend for a little over three years now and I've always figured it was going to take him forever to propose. I went through I phase where I was really intense about dropping hints and talking about becoming engaged and getting married, but it really bothered my boyfriend and so I just decided to stop.
This past Friday was my birthday and my boyfriend took me out to lunch. After lunch I bought a cupcake and I suggested we go to his office to share it because it was close by. When we got to his office he opened his desk drawer to take out a knife and I saw a De Beers catalog sitting the drawer. I didn't say anything to him but it totally took me by surprise. I haven't dropped hints or talked about it since March.
A day later I couldn't help it, I know his e-mail is always accessible on his ipad. So, I caved and check it and sure enough he went to a jewelry store two weeks ago. I know he didn't buy anything and the e-mail was a follow-up e-mail from the salesperson that he didn't reply back to. The salesperson was referring to me by my name and the salesperson was talking about one specific ring in my size my BF looked at that is exactly the ring style I told him I wanted.
I don't want to get myself too excited, because the De Beers store is near his work and he might have just wandered in to check rings out because he was curious.
I'm going crazy right now so any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

As exciting as it is to want to know, once you have some info in your head like that, you can never erase it. That's all you'll be focusing on from here on in - and what if it doesn't pan out? then what? You can't exactly confront him "hey, I saw a brochure in your desk and I snuck into your private email and read stuff..." Yikes. Tough position to be in now.
