    I was talking to the BF while I was at my moms house where a couple of the girls got together this afternoon. Right before he called one of them told me how suprised she was he didnt ask over the holidays. When he called she was like "I GOT IT... He'll do it valentines day".. well he sort of heard her and asked me what she said.. trying to sluff it off I told him nothing and hes like "Ren.... tell me". So I told him and I was like "But I dont see you being that type of guy"... Well he got really quiet. I mean ultra quiet. In a panic I said "Not that I would mind valentines day.. I think it would be a great time."... he did a kind of sad/ nervous joking laugh thing (I had never heard that from him before) and quickly changed the subject. Now I feel so awful!!! I dont know what to do!!!

    He might have gotten like that because he was actually planning to do it then and it sort of ruined the suprise.  I think the only thing you can do is keep quiet about it and only let him bring up the topic of the future so he thinks you forgot.  That's what worked for me.

    Thats what I think.. he brings it up all the time about us getting married. Even sent me a text this morning saying "I'm exstatic about marrying you someday".. But I try not to be the one who brings it up. I just feel awful I might have ruined his suprise.

    Yee.

    I recommend that the next time you see him, give him a huge hug and a kiss and let him know how much you love him. Then on Valentine's day if nothing happens, don't be disappointed. If it does, try to act surprised :-)

    don't worry, i'm sure if he did have it planned for Valentine's he'll come up with something else now.  It's not really your fault - seems like it was just bad timing that your friend said that the same time you were on the phone with him.

    Well luckily I will see him this weekend coming up at a business conference. The hard part is he lives in Pittsburgh and I'm in Atlanta.. and his next schedualed visit here was Valentines weekend which he picked.

    So quick update.. He called me tonight and he brought up the convo again.. he said something about only giving me 6 months to plan and I explained to him that most places require a year to book.. so he says "So fine.. we will start looking now and then if we find a place.. well go ahead and book it".. I said "But baby it doesnt work that way.." and he said "We have never done things traditionally our entire relationship.. why start now"... AHHHHH Im so excited I can hardly stand it.

    Congratulations... that was kind of a big hint there wasn't it? And in a way you've got your friend to thank - if this overheard conversation hadn't happened, he wouldn't called or brought up this convo too. Glad it worked out for the best!

    Seriously Ren you're Engaged!  Congratulations!  You're just waiting on the ring and a sweet proposal/story.  I hope the ring and moment is nice but congrats on the definite commitment and agreement to marry!!
