You ladies are going to laugh at me!

[MayFlowers]

So, even though I know you all with laugh at me for this, I just have to post it.

For the past week, BF has been working later than usual. He has been really sweet and super loving recently too. So, even though I know we don't have the money right now, I concocted this crazy story that maybe he does have the money and that he has been working on my ring with the cover of "working late". I know, can you tell I'm desperately waiting for him to finally pop the question? Anyways, so last night he calls me and asks me when I'm coming over? I tell him that I'm already on my way and he ends the call by telling me to hurry up and that he can't wait to see me. I didn't think too much of it at the time. But, like I said, I keep thinking he is up to something and so I'm always holding out hope.

When I got there, I walked in and noticed he had something hidden with a towel up on on his bookshelf. I asked him what it was and he replied "I don't know just look at it". As I walk up to it, I saw that one thing was sticking out. It was a toy and it said "Bling Rings" on it. My heart literally skipped a beat and I got this HUGE grin on my face. I truly thought that I was going to pull it down and that when I turned around he would be proposing to me with a toy ring (since we are buying the ring after the proposal). I mean I literally saw that and said in my head "This is finally it!". Then I pulled the towel back.......AND.......my heart returned to normal pace because I realized he had made an Easter basket for his 7 year old niece who is staying the weekend with him! That was just one of the toys he bought for her.

As soon as I realized it, I laughed at myself...a lot. I think I have proposals and engagements on my mind a little too much for such a little thing to make me think he's proposing!

Actually, I can't really blame you for thinking the way you did. I probably would have thought a proposal was coming under those circumstances as well.

I don't want to be too hard on the guy, but maybe he could have thought that through a little better? Especially knowing there was something labeled ring bling in it?

Sorry, I don't want to add fuel to the fire, you handled your disappointment very well and I guess guys just don't think about things like this. Sorry you had your hopes raised and I hope your proposal is coming soon!

Awwww Mayflowers, can't laugh at you since I completely understand. You handled it very well, I'm not sure what I would've done. Hope the next time he surprises you, you're not disappointed .

I agree, I am so impressed that you handled this the way you did! I would have been so disappointed and probably started crying. So, your BF is a lucky man that you have such a good head on your shoulders and could laugh at the situation.

Your boyfriend seems like a sweet guy especially for making an easter basket for his niece ! And who knows maybe it wont be too long before you really do have some ring bling of your own

Oh my goodness ! Lady you handled yourself SO WELL!! hahaha!!

I'd have cried for sure!!
Xx

Wow, I don't blame you one bit for thinking that. Honestly, I would have lost it if I had been in your shoes - I probably wouldn't have been able to hold back my tears, not to mention a little bit of anger.

It is sweet that he made an Easter Basket for his niece - maybe he was just being a little bit clueless. Guys can be a bit dense sometimes, especially when it comes to stuff like this.

Anyway, here's hoping that the real proposal is coming soon, and that you will soon be off the list! Do you know what type of ring you want? Have you two gone looking yet?

 

[MayFlowers]

Yes he was definitely a little dense about the whole thing. I'm glad I didn't have a meltdown because of it and that I just laughed it off.

Shihtzu, we have gone to look at rings two times. He knows what I like, plain shank, round solitaire, with an interesting profile view. However, we decided to purchase it together because he knows how ridiculously picky I am (specifically about jewelry). I am actually glad that he is willing to let me pick it out with him because we are going to go with a local jeweler. So I want to make sure the diamond is just perfect since we won't be getting a branded diamond like an ACA. Plus, I just have a ball going jewelry shopping and he knows that!

I can't laugh at you either. And you REALLY handled it well, because I probably would have burst into tears (after walking away, of course).
