@Impatiently waiting: I don't think I could ever do something like that during my proposal, but it is kind of funny.
@Impatiently waiting: bahaha I have been considering this lately too. I'm soooo over the waiting and the silence. I would feel better if we could at least talk about it but it's like I want to discuss abortion or something. It's so taboo to him I could smack him. I feel ya!
if I did that to my FI he would say "forget it!" and we would be done. lol tooootally funny though... only if it was in private.. lol
I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought this idea is hilarious! i'm sure i wouldn't stick to what i said. later i'd probably say,"you know i was kidding. yes i'll marry you" im sure he would know i was kidding any way!
My SO said to me last night while we were walking out dog "Gee after all this anticipation and everything, it'd be hilarious if when I finally ask you, you said "eeeeeeh... okay" I laughed, but I'm bursting at the seems already so I doubt that will happen, lol.
@Impatiently waiting: Hahah! That is so, so hilarious. If I could get a grip and contain myself and think rationally when it happens, I'd LOVE to do that.. but I'll probably be so excited I wouldn't even be able to :)
@MsBrooklynA: It's so taboo to him I could smack him. Uh, YES. I totally feel this way too. Ugh
@Impatiently waiting: I'm sure it's all in good fun but in all honesty, I could never do something like that nor would my FI find it funny. He actually would be pretty pissed.
I was "waiting" for years (together for more than 5, waiting for more than 2) so when he finally proposed, I was so freakin' excited that all I did was scream "yes" over and over again. I was pretty bitter during my "waiting" period and the thought of making him sweat a bit did cross my mind but then I thought about all the effort he would be putting into the proposal (I knew that he wanted to plan something special) and I realized that telling him that I would have to think about it (even if I was just joking) would really hurt him and potentially ruin our engagement.
This is just my opinion though.
@UpstateCait: AGREE. I totally got sick of waiting, it was frustrating and it hurt my feelings. But that doesn't ever ever mean that I would do something on purpose to hurt my FI's feelings.
It's not his fault if he isn't in the same place as you, relationship-wise and he shouldn't be punished for it. It seems like a kind of immature thing to do.
@Bostonsmom: YOU GUYS, I'M TELLING YOU MY BF WOULD THINK IT WAS FUNNY!
I actually did this! (kind of) When FI proposed, I was all stunned and incoherent for several minutes, and then when I reached for the ring, he was like, "you have to say yes first." And I smirked and said, "hmm, can I think about it?" and he said, "fine, but you can't have the ring." And then I grabbed it and said "yes!" (which he knew I would), but I felt like after waiting all that time, he could handle a little teasing. It's so US, because we're always joking around and he knew I was so excited for him to finally propose.
@gocubbies: Definitely jumping on the "smacking" bandwagon...it's like I dragged a life sized Dumbo into the room on a leash, geez
Yeah I'm kind of with CaitMarae -- your boyfriend might think it's funny, but to me my BF asking me to be his wife is going to be a HUGE deal. Even if it's taken him almost 7 years and I've been pretty frustrated for the last two. It's still a really special important moment, and for me I'm just not sure I'd want it marred by "pretending" to think about it just to get him back for not being ready when I was.
It's just not the story I'd want to tell to family, friends, grandkids: "Well, I was pretty mad waiting for the ring so when he finally proposed I pretended to think about it."
We're all different though, so if it works for you...
i'm not sure it would be a good idea to go that route. you never know how somebody's going to react in a situation like this, no matter what their usual behavior is! it would be awful for it to spoil the moment for which you've been so anxiously waiting.
if you're really set on teasing him about it, maybe wait until after the proposal and acceptance and all that to do a, "wait, but..." sort of joke. or afterward say, "oh, i almost was going to say [insert your faux-no statement here]!" with a smile. he can still think it's funny after the fact!
