Yay for nervous excitement! I'm in the same boat, but without the birthday. Who knows with men...maybe he's trying to throw you off with the whole "what do you want for your birthday?" Maybe he has some other time in mind for engagement just because you already have a hunch it will be soon? I hope it's soon for you! I know how tough this is when it feels like it's coming....every day is sooooo long. ;)
Oh I remember how nerve wracking all the major holidays and events were when I was looking for the proposal. Have fun on your birthday. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.
Men are ridiculous, I remember when my BF brought up the ring situation to me... we were in a public place, and he asked "SO.... you know.... when the time comes... what kind of ring do you want? How do I know which one, what if I propose without one?" I got super excited!!! And two seconds later he said, "WELL. I guess this is premature, it's not going to happen for A LONG TIME."
I stormed off.
We had to actually have a couple serious conversations later to see what 'timeline' we were on. After that, he stopped talking about it period... and now it's been brought up again, with a wistful "If one would propose at a wedding, would that be tacky?" I said yes... the wedding is next spring anyway. So I think he is mulling over a time, though that doesn't seem "A LONG TIME".
:)
I can't even imagine the agony! I had no clue my fiance was going to propose until like an hour before he did it and that was enough for me!!!
I have a pretty good indication it will happen on my birthday. This year is my golden birthday and he knows how much my birthday means to me. I think I will fall over if I see him get down on one knee. Maybe he will take me to the ER to propose because I will go into shock if he does!!!
lmao about going to the er... you could say you want a really romantic dinner and night at a hotel with a couple's massage ;) that sets the mood for him.
I kind of hinted around to my best friend about where I would like to go to dinner at. There is this really romantic place where we went on our first official date and he took me their for our 2 year anniversary and I told her that it would be so nice to go eat there again for my birthday. I would be happy with going to the drive thru at Taco Hell if it meant he was going to propose. Can we say, nachos grande with a side of engagement!! HAHAHAHA!!!
haha that is awesome. He could be trying to throw you off by asking. Or he could be planning on giving you your birthday present, watching you be sad bc its not a ring, THEN springing the ring. Boys are mean. :)
Oh he would so do something like that. He thinks he is so sneaky!! I am really shocked that he is being so quiet about it. He told a bunch of people right away after he bought the ring but I haven't heard anything lately. Which is good. I don't want to know. I hope his friend's wife keeps her big mouth shut or I will straighten her curly hair permanently! I have a bit of a witchy vindictive side. Blame it on being born close to Halloween!! It's my inner witch! I still can't believe at how much he has changed in the last few months. He has really grown up and I love him so much more for it. It has brought us so much closer. I also think it's odd that we go so well together because we are both Scorpios!! Yikes! Talk about some stubborness! Not to mention my daughter is a scorpio too.
While I know the emotions that you are feeling, I don't know what to say. But I do hope that it happens for you really soon!! Let's start a countdown!!!
My ring was hidden in a b-day present, FI didn't consider it my present. Not that I could pay all that much attention to what he had bought me when I found the ring but it was a cute way to give it to me.
Please please please don't get your hopes up. If all you get is great perfume, you're gonna be really bummed. I say this because I know exactly how you feel. My FI was supposed to propose by last Christmas and didn't and I thought he would on Christmas and...nothing. And it ended with me in tears and crying fits for three days straight because he didn't respect how important it was to me for him to just. freaking. ask. already.
Like some people have said, boys are mean and sneaky. They are so dead set on having the proposal be a "surprise" (which is bull. who is actually surprised?) that they usually go out of their way to not propose when you are expecting it. It never occurs to them that that is totally crushing for us.
I hope he asks, but if he doesn't, please try not to do what I did and totally freak out and get all depressed and think about leaving him because you think he's never going to ask because he enjoys tormenting you. I can't give you any advice on how to get your hopes back down, but if he doesn't ask, I would encourage you to write it off and wait a couple days and then ask - don't ruin your birthday by feeling miserable because it didn't turn out the way you expected. I've been there and it totally sucks.
LOL I had a meltdown after my bday as well. If I were you I'd tell him you want your perfume etc and a great romantic dinner with some yummy dessert and that's really all you can think of and just let that be it. I agree with edb in totally not getting your hopes up. there are plenty of days to propose and he may want your golden bday to just be special for being your golden bday and not take anything away from it by proposing. he may want to make an ordinary day extraordinary (i forget which bee said that but it was utterly the most perfect way to put it).
@mmmtacos - that is kind of funny your BF said that to you - that is the EXACT same thing my FI said to me right before he proposed. Asked what kind of ring I wanted, etc etc etc and after I told him, he was down on one knee asking how I liked that one (which happened to be exactly what I wanted).

Ok, so I am getting so super excited and so very nervous!! My birthday is less then a week away and I am pretty sure it could happen then. I think I could throw up right now I am so nervous! Is this normal??? My other thing is...he keeps asking me what I want for my birthday. We have agreed to spend the same amount on each other for birthdays and that amount is about $200. I told him that all I really wanted was this perfume I like and maybe flowers or a gift card to the mall. I need some new clothes:) I thought that if he proposed that would be my gift. Could it be that he's not planning on proposing? Or would that not be considered a birthday present? I don't really want him to spend a lot on my birthday if in fact he is going to propose. I have a pretty good hunch it will happen. Not sure how though. Which is fine.
