girls,was your boy friend real nervous when he propose to you?...

[Dancing Fire]

a friend of mine said he''s too nervous to propose to his GF and i said why? it''s not like you don''t have any experience this is your 3rd time around.

 

[jennyann2]

my fiance was very calm, unlike me....i was totally flabergasted!

maybe your friend isn''t sure of the answer he''ll get?

 

[elepri]

Mine was sweating profusely, he was so nervous. I really don't know why, he certainly knew i'd say yes. Maybe it was because he'd had no experience?

 

[AChiOAlumna]

My DH was SO nervous all day!! It actually gave his "surprise" away as we''d been living together for 1-1/2 years already and I had never seen him like this!!

We went to the movies (at his request) just to pass time, but he wouldn''t hold my hand (sweaty palms?) and kept fidgeting throughout the movie! When we got home, stayed quiet...we went out to dinner and he was just a wreck!! It made me so nervous that I need several glasses of wine just to calm my nerves!

Mine was nervous.

Practice makes perfect?

My hubby was nervous and so excited-- he was acting so strangely beforehand! Like someone keeping a big secret and dying to blab!

LOL! With his batting average, he SHOULD be nervous!

Well, I''m not a girl, but I can tell you from a "guys" perspective that I shook like an earthquake was running through my body. I never expected to be as nervous as I actually was when it came to that time. I was actually pretty calm just moments before I popped the big question. However, when I took that ring box in my hand and bent down on one knee I lost all strength and melted in front of the one that I love. When she said "yes" the nervous feeling left and the celebration began of spreading the good news.

 

[jaysonsmom]

My husband was excited and giggly? He''s not normally a giggly type of person, so he must have been nervous, he just expressed it in a weird way.

 

[ame]

Yea kind of I guess. He was more annoyed with our waitress than anything. She SUCKED ASS and never came around so his little plan to do it while she took a photo was shot. He tried anyway though.

I knew it was going to happen some time that weekend so I wasn''t shocked or anything. But both of his "plans" were ruined by the waitress and movie theater so that kinda sucked for him.

Same with my FH - he was grinning from ear to ear the entire night!

 

[IrishEyes]

My husband was surprisingly calm. It was very spur of the moment though, he didn''t plan it for a certain day or time or anything. I guess the mood just struck him one night and he proposed, no ring, which was fine for me cause then I got to pick it out!!

But it was real cute and I was giggling and we had a real wonderful time that night

 

[bopitaddict]

i was reasonably calm when i proposed, although a little nervous and she ''says'' she was surprised...

now, asking her parents for permission, that was the nerve racking part...

 

[Gale]

He was absolutely calm, cool and collected.

 

[jellybean]

My DH had this goofy grin all day and I was too dumb to figure out what was going on. He said he was sooooo nervous that he couldn''t even get the question out! I opened the box and looked at him and he had tears in his eyes. How could any woman say no to that?

So, yes, you can say he was a bit nervous.

 

[kaylagee]

My husband was quite nervous too and was teary & relieved when I said ''yes''.

I''m not sure why he was so jittery. I was sure he knew I''d accept. (shrug)

 

[curlygirl]

Mine was a nervous wreck!! He actually gave me a romantic/touching letter to read before he actually got on his knee because he didn''t think he''d be able to get all the words out!! Very sweet...

 

[Logan Sapphire]

Mine was pretty nervous too, even though we both knew it was happening, and we both knew I would say yes. He had tried two other times and had been thwarted, so I guess that played a part in the nervousness. Plus, it''s just one of those big questions that (hopefully) is only asked once in a lifetime, so I can understand the nervousness.

yeah....i think he also strike-out a few other times in his career....LOL

 

[tawn]

The very first night we met, my husband told me, very matter of fact like, that he was going to marry me. Completely confident and only 19 years old...and I laughed since I was in Nova Scotia and he was just visiting for a few days. He sent me plane tickets to Boston 3 weeks later and even though my friends thought I was crazy...I went and fell in love!

To make a long story short...we were married less than 2 years later! And, we''re about to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary in a few days! The time has gone by so quickly....

She won''t let me ask her parents. Says she''ll be mad if I do. "It''s my choice not theirs!" Although I know her parents would say yes without hesitation.

I haven''t proposed yet, I''m working up to it. Have to get the ring first. I hope I''m not as nervous as some of the people in the previous posts.

This whole proposal thing is funny to me. You have to hide where you are going when shopping for it. Hide that it''s coming and all sorts of sly tricks to not let her know what you are doing. Essentially lieing to her. That part makes me nervous. hehe. Oh well, that''s part of the fun right? If you want to surprise her you gotta be good at lieing.

I was nervous. Pretty much gave it away, but I hid it well enough. I kinda rushed it tho cuz I was so nervous. Prolly didn''t sound as nice as I intended.

 

[Matata]

He was agitated and hyperactive. When he dropped down on one knee I thought he was having a seizure and started to reach for the phone to call an ambulance

 

[heart prongs]

I don''t know about nervous -- God knows he knew I''d say yes...but he did have this cute little smile on his face and his head was sort of tilted to one side all day when he looked at me! I think I just made my husband sound funny looking...klr

 

[Dancing Fire]

bump up for new members.

 

[cnspotts]

My DH says I proposed to him, but it was all rather matter of fact. Having a long distance relationship he asked me to move up to be with him, but I told him I could only do that if we were getting married. He thought about that for 2 seconds then told me to start planning the wedding. We married 8 months later.

 

[princessv]

Mine was so nervous we went to dinner and he had half a bottle of wine and some whiskey on the rocks LOL He later admitted he was so nervous he had to have something to drink before he proposed. Don''t see why he knew I was going to say yes anyway!

Haha.. that''s fun. I don''t think it''s necessarily that he was nervous that you''ll say no. He could have been a little but that might not be the only reason.

I got nervous right before I asked my fiance. I was noticeably (at least to me) shaking. The whole time I knew she was going to say yes. But there is a lot of pressure on the guy to make it perfect. Most guys really want to make it a moment that both can remember and to give a great story that you can go tell all your girlfriends later. The nervousness for me was not screwing up the moment. Not making a stupid mistake that will take it from romantic to rediculous. Not to mention that this is a HUGE decision to be made by both. Moving into a different chapter of your life story isn''t necessarily that easy. Being nervous and scared is part of the whole experience....at least in my opinion.

[Tacori E-ring]

mine was not nervous just excited but we had been dating for over 4 years so he knew I would say yes.

 

[monarch64]

My husband was definitely the most nervous I''ve ever seen him, but so was I. I thought he was going to propose, but I wasn''t 100%, so I was practicing my game face for when it didn''t happen! We went to dinner in downtown Chicago first, and neither of us remember anything about it. His plan was to take me to the 95th floor of the Hancock Building, but the line was too long when we went to get on the elevator! (It was Dec. 14th, busy season). I almost started crying then because I felt so bad for him and I wanted him to propose so bad! We finally took a cab to North Avenue Beach even though it was about 30 degrees outside...the night we met we watched the sun rise there. It ended up being perfect, but we were both nervous wrecks! As soon as he started his speech I started crying and so did he! By the time he got down on his knee his voice was shaking and I just screamed, "YES! YES! YESSSS!" It was hilarious, every time i think back on it I laugh, because he is a man who''s always calm and collected, never cries, and always has a plan!
