MY SO purchased a ring back in December right before Christmas. It had to be custom made so it did not arrive until mid January. He has the ring in his posession but he hasn’t proposed!! I’m going nuts over here lol. I see him every weekend (LDR) and every time we get together I think that he will propose 🙁 I know he is stressed finishing his thesis that is due in March, but I would be more content if he didn’t bring the ring/marriage up ALL the time lol. I told him that I wouldn’t ask any more about the proposal because I had full control over the ring but that is sooooooo hard for me lol. Anyway, I’m going to stop my rambling. Did any bees have to wait a while for the ring once you knew he had it? How in the world did you cope? lol

@daffodil89: Aww, hang in there! You are SO close! And once you have it on your finger it won’t matter how long you had to wait for it! Promise!

That has to be so tough! I knew Fiance had the ring 3 weeks before he proposed, because he slipped and basically said so. He really wanted to make it special though, so he waited for his planned date. I know it’s tough, but you’re in the home stretch, with a man who loves you and wants to marry you, and that’s exciting! I think of it this way-the ring and the proposal got to be his special thing to give me, and letting him do it on his terms was the best thing I could give in return.

I know my SO has the ring right now and if he doesn’t do it this weekend I am going to be crazy. It’s so hard waiting when you don’t see any reason too, I know but let’s hang in there and hope it’s all happening for a reason!?

@daffodil89: Hi there. I am still waiting for my proposal and my SO bought the ring back in July. Yup, it’s been half a year. (In his defense, he bought it back when we thought we were getting married this year, but still.)
I know it’s tough not to think about it, but try to put it in the back of your mind for a little while. Instead of wondering if it will happen when you see him, just enjoy the time that you spend together. Also, you could take up some new hobbies or something to keep yourself busy.
Your day will come 🙂

@futurejhart: glad i’m not alone! I’m REALLY hoping he does it when I go visit him next weekend…especially since the ring is at his house and he will have NO reason not to lol. I do NOT want a huge proposal so really all he has to do is say something sweet and ask lol. I hope this weekend is your weekend!! good luck 🙂

@daffodil89: he ended up taking me to our favorite Thai place and having them bring out dessert (banana spring rolls, yum!) with, “will you marry me” written on the plate in raspberry sauce. I understood that he wanted to wait so we could have that wonderful, romantic moment together. So, maybe your guy is planning, or maybe he’s just nervous. Either way, as hard as it is, try to just have a little more patience. He only gets this special moment once, too, and I’m sure he’s excited beyond belief that it’s with you

@daffodil89: If it makes you feel any better, my SO has had the engagement ring since December…
…of 2012.
I cope by reminding myself that every week he doesn’t propose is an extra week I get to lose weight, so that when we are engaged, I’ll look unbelievably hot in our engagement pictures.
Oh, and I shop.
For every month I wait, I buy myself something pretty.
