SO: Don’t we already have a full weekend?
Me: Not really. Why, what do you think we’ve got going on?
SO: I thought we’d go back to the ring store. Paraphased, he also added that he needed to get a move on for proposing to me, which means he ought to get a move on getting me a ring, but that “*someone* needed to tell him what she wanted!” So from looking first time last weekend to possibly making the final decision next weekend, he’s moving rapidly all of the sudden.
Proposal hints: He wanted to know if he could propose w/o a ring. (yes – this also means he’s thinking about it possibly within the next 3-5 weeks) I asked if he could try to plan it so I’d be seeing my parents sometimes shortly thereafter to tell them in person, but it didn’t have to be immediately, that would be great. (he’s amenable, but says that definitely limits him – they live 2 hrs away) We were trying to remember proposals of some of his friends and after discussing 2-3 he said, “I know how W proposed to D, but I’m not going to tell you.” Which makes me think it might be similar. I *think* he might have said ages ago that W proposed to D ontop the scenic/inconic library tower at our college.
So….now I’m wondering if he’s planning on proposing at my 10 year college reunion in the middle of June. (We went to the same school, but he’s 4 years older so we met afterwards, though we found out we have some friends in common.) Ironically we had just been dating a few weeks when I joined him at his 10 year (celebrated his 11th year with the 10 years and 9 years) and surprised a bunch of folks then. And my parents moved to live 30 minutes away from my college post my college years, so that wouldn’t be a limiting factor.
The only other alternative if it’d possibly w/o a ring and therefore possibl soon, is the weekend after next. We are going away, and it’s also our 3rd year anniversary. Which I know sounds more likely, but I’m not feeling the same vibe.

It’s so funny, I remember you posting back in your thread with me about the oddness of no longer being single. I kinda wanted to go to a bar with a friend, just as a “farewell to singlehood” beforehand. Is that weird? Call it pre-bachelorette. But I don’t ever do that sort of thing.

@kay01: That’s such a good idea! I kind of want to do that too. I probably will before we officially move in together, just a low-key celebration. Man, it’s gonna be so weird!

@wishingonadream04: Hadn’t thought of that, tbh. It’s possible, but it’s tight on getting the ring. We were told ~3 weeks (hinting it’d be longer) to get the ring made up, so I’m assuming 4. If we ordered this Saturday, reunion is 4 weeks from it.

Oooo that’s exciting 🙂 Can’t wait to hear how it goes! Sometimes once that “proposal switch” is turned on in a guy they move pretty fast.
