well thats how it happened for me...we were walking thru costco one day and out of the blue he asked me to tell him what ring i liked!! i was soo blown away! and a few months later he proposed!! guys dont really just talk randomly from my experience at least!! keep us posted!!
I'll definitely keep y'all posted! I love having a whole new group of people to share this with!
Mr. Tacos brought it up in Jewel. In September of last year or somewhere around then. It was weird. We talked about it now and again, worked out all of the kinks, and now I'm officially "waiting". He won't 100% say "I am going to propose to you", but he says "I know you're worried, but you don't need to worry because I'm not going anywhere".
He's also upped the ante on some things I'm catching here and there. He's attached a price to a supposed ring which he refers to without connecting to us (i.e. "If one would buy an engagement ring, it should be $x") and is PROACTIVELY watching wedding shows with me while making it seem like he's doing me a favor with a sly smile on his face. He seems extremely interested in watching Rich Bride, Poor Bride and wants to know budgets.
I don't think a guy who isn't seriously thinking about it would do that, or even bring up marriage unless he was cornered into it!
Thanks tacos! That helps a lot. I keep trying to tell myself to not get my hopes up, but then would wonder why in the world he keeps bringing this stuff up unless it meant something. Like your guy, J isn't the type to say "I am going to propose to you".That would never happen. We were talking yesterday about how some people go ring shopping( I don't want to, as I love surprises) and he said "oh, no way, I want you to have the crying, jumping up and down thing going on" and then...he actually did it . This handsome grown man jumped around squealing waving his hands(just like I'm sure I probably will, hopefully soon!) it was hilarious. But still. Waiting is the worst!!
I wonder the same thing.. my BF brings it up all the time.. but then he tells me the other day until he knows I wont lose my house (I own my own home and we are Ld and he knows im struggling a bit atm) he wont propose.. Its a bit of a downer because I dont want to have to wait a wholenother year but at the same time I know hes making smart financial decisions for our future. just remember if he wasnt thinking about it and it wasnt on his mind he wouldnt bring it up at all!
@theren: It's good that he's thinking out the future though. I am glad that I waited for him to bring it up rather than doing it myself...it feels so much better when he talks about it...I'm sure I would wonder if he was just humoring me or felt pressured if I'd been the one to initiate the talks.
Technically, yes =]. I don't think most men start talking about the future and then immediately propose. I think it's an idea they have to get used to =]. For us we started talking around 2.5 years and got engaged around the 3.5 year mark. Maybe he's just feeling you out? I think it's a woman thing to want HIM to bring it up, since he technically does the proposing anyways =]
Congratulations to y'all!
I hope it doesn't take J a year though, because I absolutely cannot wait that long!!!
J and I are both pretty traditional, so he would have to be the one proposing. We're very set in our "traditional man" and "traditional woman" roles...I secretly think we're the perfect couple :P

So I was just being paranoid...even though there's been an absolute barrage of wedding/marriage talk from J lately, could that possibly mean that he's not planning to propose for awhile? I mean, I know that's not really logical; you don't say "Gee, where would you like to go to dinner?" if you're not planning on going out to dinner within a relevant time frame....do you? Do you think a guy would suddenly start bringing all of this up and being extra extra sweet unless he were thinking about proposing..soon(say, within a few months)?
