Not me, still waiting. I wasn''t even with my honey on Turkey Day though, so I certainly wasn''t expecting anything.
There''s something I keep forgetting to say but I''ve been meaning to.....this might sound crazy but I feel nothing but excitement and happiness and good wishes when one of our Price Scope ladies get engaged.
Yes, I am happy for friends when I hear about their engagements. But sometimes (OK, a lot) I get a little jealous....and I start comparing my lives to theirs and I get depressed (i.e. "Oh X and Y got engaged....great! But they''ve only been together A amount of years and we''ve been together C years....does that mean my boyfriend doesn''t really love me? What''s wrong with me?"....or "E and F are having a baby! That''s great! Oh my gosh but that means by the time we (well maybe I!) have kids....their kids are going to be 10! Or in college!"
Anyway, I just mean to say that I really am happy for all of the other Ladies in Waiting here who get off the list....and for others who are still here and will be engaged soon. I know we''ll all have the perfect proposal and beautiful ring when the time is right.
But I find it kind of strange that I feel nothing but happiness and genuine joy for my Price Scope ladies.....when I sometimes feel jealous about my friends and acquaintences I hear getting engaged or having big steps in life. Am I the only one?

Not me, either.
BF is sweating it out though. My mom is telling everyone we''re getting married next year, too. (As is my brother). BF looked at me, and I said, I had nothing to do with that, I swear!! He said told everyone, he''s saving, and we''ll get married if I behave!! I had to smack him one. Gettin tired of waiting, though. I''m the most impatient person alive. And I''ve only got my deadline until March (given by him). Still, he gave me a March deadline last year!

I was excited to come and see if there were any proposals too! we''re dorks...hehe
congrats, ladies!
hehe TOTALLY!
and Elle - I said the exact same thing in some other post a week or two ago! It''s totally like our LIW "team" is winning...when some random other person gets engaged they are somehow not on the team, so you feel jealous, but when PS LIWs get engaged it means that we are collectively making progress! Woohoo! So happy for everyone!

Hi Albi and Princess V!
You guys are both right.....I definitely feel super happy for all the Price Scope girls when they get engaged, and I think it''s largely because we''ve all been in the same boat waiting for it to happen....and we share our frustrations and try to give advice and keep morale up when we''re happy, but we also have a place to come and vent when we''re angry or confused or sad about the waiting.
I also 100% agree with the comment that I feel this way because we''re all on the same team here....I know it sounds silly that I am happier for Price Scope girls when they get engaged, and I''m actually not jealous....but with my friends/acquaintences etc. I am happy for them but feel a bit jealous and more frustrated at my own waiting. I guess its because our Price Scope "team" feels comfortable enough to share our delicate feelings about wanting to get engaged and finalize our pairings with our dream men.
It definitely is like we''re all in this waiting together, so when someone''s waiting period ends, we couldn''t be happier for them.
Here''s to many Christmas and New Years proposals!

Congrats sukiisukii!!!
Elle - I feel the same way too. My bestfriend''s boyfriend may be proposing on their anniversary in early December or on Christmas. They are both 19, have known each other for two or three months over two years and started dating nearly two years ago. I''m feeling horribly jealous and equally guilty about feeling jealous. My boyfriend will propose in 2006, and if he proposes on our third anniversary like I suspect, we will be 21 and 24 and will have known each other for 3 years and eight months. It just doesn''t seem fair! And yet I know I shouldn''t care and be happy for her if it happens, but I just can''t help it.
However, when a LIW gets engaged, no matter how old they are or how long they''ve been with their SOs, I''m so excited!! I know that you ladies understand what it''s like to wonder and worry, get hopeful and disappointed and sometimes even angry, and to sometimes feel like your feelings are being played with. You know what it''s like to feel like you''re on a roller coaster all the time. We understand each other, and I think it''s a very special thing to help each other through those moments.
My bestfriend will never know what it feels like to be a LIW, and she''ll never understand how I''ve been feeling and how I still feel. You do, and it makes a difference. I still love my bestfriend very much and will be thrilled to be her MoH if she does get engaged, but I can''t help feeling like it should be me, not her.

I definitely feel your pain! I know everything happens for a reason (well most of the time!
)....and that timing for my boyfriend and I hasn''t been right yet for us to get engaged. We''ve both gone on to graduate schools, lived in different states for the last several years, etc. But I can''t help feeling that it''s my turn and I keep getting skipped.....and that some others who haven''t even been together for half as long as we have shouldn''t be getting engaged so soon because it''s not their turn yet. Totally illogical, I know, but I still feel that way sometimes.
We''ve been together almost 7 years (I''m 27 and he''s 29) and it definitely feels like things are long overdue for us to take the next step (although there have been perfectly valid reasons why engagement hasn''t happened yet).....so I''m really hoping that 2006 is the year. Part of me thinks that it''s got to happen before or on our 7 year anniversary (in just about 3 months)....not even so much because I need it to happen by then...(I''d be fine waiting another 3-4 months) but really because it''s such a big milestone for us that I don''t want to go on to year #8 without being engaged......
I''m dreading to hear, "7 years? Oh my god. Why the heck aren''t you engaged?" I don''t want to deal with that anymore. I don''t want to shrug and give a sweet smile and act like it''s no big deal, and pretend I''m content being his girlfriend (of a trillion years!) when I''m dying inside and getting super irritated at my boyfriend, when, in all fairness, it''s not exactly his fault.
The time is coming very soon that there won''t be any more valid reasons for us to wait and not get engaged....and if that time comes and engagement doesn''t look like it will happen soon, I know I will start to doubt our relationship and think "what''s wrong with me?" "What is he waiting for?" "Isn''t he sure about me?" and all of those terrible thoughts.
If it doesn''t happen sometime in 2006, heads will roll.
Hee hee.
One of my cousin''s friends (a guy) just got engaged a couple of weeks ago. I barely know him, so I shouldn''t be jealous of him and his fiance. But for the last 3-4 years, I have heard all about their relationship drama from my cousin. They were together, he caters to her every whim, she''s a materialistic gold digger (cousin''s words, not mine!)......she cheated on him, his family didn''t like her and started hating her once they found out about the cheating...they got back together again....and now they''re engaged (with a 2 carat center stone, Michael B setting no less!).
The amount of time that they''ve been dating and going through major drama, however, is about 1/3 the amount of time my boyfriend and I have been together. So although its not logical, I''m thinking gosh that''s not fair....she sounds like a selfish immature girl and has caused this guy so much pain, yet somehow the engagement fairy found her and she''s engaged despite the length of time and drama. Anyway...
I''m sure you''ll be happy for your best friend if she gets engaged soon and you''ll be a great Maid of Honor. I just can''t help but wish that it doesn''t happen for her this Christmas, and that you and your boyfriend will get engaged sometime in 2006 before she does. Then she can get engaged soon afterwards and you and her can share in the wedding planning together at the same time!

I haven''t had to deal my friends getting engaged yet, just the BFs friends. The first one I was really happy, the second one I wasn''t because she''s terrible to her now hubby, and the third, I was happy for them, but felt it was a slap in the face because they started dating about a month after us.
I''m always so happy for the PS girls too, plus I like that we all know about our rings. I''m constantly amazed by how little the general public knows about diamonds. I feel like these girls don''t know anything about the precious, beautiful, expensive rings on their fingers.
side story: I guess this a good place to put this. I''ve been doing some system testing at work, and yesterday I went downstairs to use the "test" computer. The lady who works in that room asked if I had a ring on my finger. And I gave her a wierd look, and was thinking I know I haven''t talked about the BF with this woman, how does she even know I have one? Does she know something I don''t? Well it turns out that one of the IT guys that works with her was asking if I had a ring on my finger, so thats why she asked. I told her "soon". So random.

Thank you for the compliment! :blush: I also can''t help but wish he proposes next year after mine has, and feel horrible about it, but I think we all feel this way when it happens. It makes me feel better to know I''m not the only one feeling like this and it''s not an abnormal reaction to feel like it should be my turn and not hers. Our circumstances are in some points similiar to yours as we are long distance while I''m at school and we need to wait until I graduate and come back home to get married (probably summer ''0Date: 11/28/2005 11:57:05 PM
