I have the word that my guy has bought a ring! But he doesn't know I know... so now, I WAIT. :) Yay for getting closer!
How exciting ladies!!!!!! As for me not so much I really doubt if it will happen until sometime next year and I'm cool with that but excited for everyone else and for THE HOLIDAYS!! It's my favorite time of the year!!
YAY!!! I think we are getting closer too, only because he has slipped and gave a few hints. For example here is the convo last week:
Me: Babe, where are you running off to?
Him: Gotta go to the jeweler.
Me: (screaming) What? The jeweler, for what?
Him: I didn't say jeweler, I said I have to run to Hooters to meet the fellas.
Me: (LAUGHING) Oh okay! If you say so!
Him: Sweetie we need to go and get your ears checked. (Laughing)
So that was the convo and I know what her said! It's hilarious. I also found out from a reliable source to stop giving him grief, he has the ring and he wanted to get a bigger diamond put in the ring. So I am gonna let him do his thing and chillax!! LOL
well, i'm not quite as far along as ring-shopping.. but my BF and i were talking about an aspect of a friend's wedding recently.. and he says "yeah, i don't think we would do something like that" .... um say whaaaat, WE? woot woot! i was smiling all night. it's the little things while i'm waiting... :)
I know! He isn't the type to go ring shopping with me, I already asked him that. ;) lol but he already knows what he wants in the wedding. For example, I mentioned one of my close coworkers saying she has a license to marry people, and I would love her to marry us. He said, 'No, I already have two people in mind. And, it's going to be done in a church, and I am going to wear this, and my groomsmen that, and your bridesmaid this and our color scheme is that..."
I was shocked! I mean, he really knows what he wants! lol which doesn't bother me, but it's strange! lol, I am glad we are able to talk about it more. ;) lol I can't wait for a few weekends to go by so I can bring up him going ring shopping. ;) lol it's hard to wait, I know he will probably forget on his own, so I am going to mention ya know, since he is hunting, "Don't forget to go ring shopping on your way home or something!" so to let him know. :) Or, when it get's closer to the time he hinted at proposing, say, "Oh, I can't wait to get engaged, it will be so much fun!" Or, "You know, I think the Lights of Christmas would be SUCH a romantic place to get engaged, since that was our first date. I have always dreamed of having a guy propose at our first-date place!" lol to kinda hint to him I want it then, but not be pushy! ;)
ooh how exciting for all of you! ours is on the backburner as we're planning his job search and subsequent move out to my end of the states.
Yay! Cheers for all the "waiting girls" being one day closer to engagement!

Yeah, we have been there before! We one day saw an ad in the paper for his job, and he was the only guy in the area to do it. :( But luckily he was working two jobs, and the other people had been wanting him full time! :) I hope that this phase goes by quickly for you two!
@writerchick324, i hope so too! i'm glad it went will for you two! i'm trying to keep him encouraged and have been flooding his poor email inbox with job links. lol
@tea
Ha ha ha! That really sounds like me! I remember when he was looking for a job when we first started, and I helped him then. Then he mentioned wanting to buy a house instead of just renting one, so I subscribed to some different sites and STILL get emails of great listings, and either email them to him or show him, even though we plan on renting! HA HA. I found that it is a lot easier to apply for jobs that are in the paper, rather than just posted online. Trust me! lol I was searching online forever on monster.com and a site that was in our area, but its great to check the paper, since you can call right then and there when they first post it. I hope everything goes by quickly!!!
My boyfriend and I are stuck against our will! Thanks to his divorce (from an entirely undeserving cheating beyotch) NOT BITTER. NOT BITTER. and the subsequent short sale of his house, which we are still waiting to go through after six months because of the loss mitigations process, it's not financially feasable until the house is sold and he moves. So it will happen sometime after he's wrapped up his previous life/moved north. Who knows when that will be, haha. But we have looked at rings several times, and "we" and "our kids" and "when we get married" comes up more and more frequently.
(You know what really makes me mad? Other than the fact that his ex, you know, virtually abandoned him for most of their marriage for her overseas work and had an affair? She remarried this August, less than a year after the divorce was finalized, and was vacationing in Greece when he was trying to get paperwork for the sale. What makes it even worse is that she earns a LOT of money, and has hardly lifted a finger to help in the process. My AMAZING boyfriend is left to pick up the pieces, move her crap, deplete his savings account, and manage a short sale, while she traipses around having extravagant destination weddings and vacations...WTF?!)
Agh. Life is complicated. I just want a husband!
@minutiae
Oh, that would be SO frusterating! I know my bf has the same type of ex, such a terrible, horrible woman that he pays child support to, although he has his daughter 50% of the time, but she told the courts that he doesn't have her at all. Sucks. I hope that whole process goes quickly for you, I know he was treated terrible by his ex, but you are lucky he is considering marriage and such for you! I know that my bf was very reluctant at first...we aren't engaged, and it just took him till about a few weeks ago to feel fine with being engaged and planning a wedding, since he was with his ex for so long before and she was terrible. So he felt I would be the same way. :(
Keep me updated on how things go! :)
No problem. I just know it really helped my SO get actual interviews instead of just throwing applications and resumes everywhere. Anything to help a fellow bee :)

So I asked my bf about marriage again, and he said that he is now waiting for the perfect moment! He mentioned wanting to go hunting on the weekends, since it's opening, and I told him as long as he leaves a weekend to go ring shopping...He laughed and smiled! That honestly, is a good sign since if he felt uncomfortable, he would have done nothing but look away and change the subject. (Trust me, I know...) And THEN...he mentioned about going to the lights of christmas, and how perfect it would be to do it there! :D I can't believe it may just happen here pretty soon, in a few months! I am kinda nervous, I think that he will put it off since hunting season is open, and he is SUCH a procrastinator. So I think when it get's closer to december, I might mention it again, as in, "don't forget to go ring shopping, you don't wanna put that off! And once I get my ring, you can go hunting as much as you want and I won't complain..." lol, I probably won't even notice he is gone, since I will be staring at a big, shiny rock. ;) lol
Anyone else getting closer?
