He he he...

[trillionaire]

He asked me to marry him...again.

Clearly this is his new thing...

I asked SO about metals for wedding bands, and he gets excited.
Him: "Why, are you buying me a wedding band?"
Me: No, that would be a bit premature.
Him: Why?
Me: We are not engaged to be married.
Him: Ok, consider us engaged. Now buy me a ring.
Me: It doesn''t work that way...
Him: Why not?
Me: You haven''t even asked me to marry you!
Him: Trillionaire, Will you marry me?
Me: *sigh* You are crazy...

Do men really think this is funny? Because if I drive 300 miles to your house so that we can get married, and you look at ME crazy, it is NOT going to be pretty.

He SO wants to marry me, it''s very cute. He even asked if we should just go to the wedding ring workshop and make our own rings.

I really despise LDRs right now... Really truly!

He makes me laugh, having that ring is really doing a number on him! I don''t know HOW men keep those things for so long!

 

[WishfulThinking]

That is such an adorable conversation, Trillionaire! Your SO sounds like a real sweetie.

Tease...

Boys.....They just dont understand how anxiety-inducing waiting is......but it''s a cute gesture that he''s talking about it anyway

You said it perfectly! It''s so funny, I have always hated suspense in movies, sporting events, etc, and would always let my friends "spoil endings," and only recently I realized that I have a problem dealing with anxiety! So clearly this is not helping...

But at least he is excited... it''s not like I''m pulling teeth

*Trillionaire takes a few deep breaths...*

 

[PearlDahhhling]

Haha! What an adorable conversation. FI and I actually had a few conversations like that before getting engaged and although it was cute, he had NO idea how much harder it made the whole LIW thing. Haha. He even fake proposed using our miniature poodle instead of the ring once. I had to just about kick him it was so cute.

 

[ladypirate]

Awww--that''s adorable!

Whenever I seem even slightly down about waiting another year to get engaged, SO seriously offers to go down to the courthouse ASAP and just get married right away. His POV is that we could get married right now if we didn''t have anyone come to a wedding, didn''t have rings, etc., but he''d rather wait until we can afford all that comfortably so that we can have a real wedding. It''s sweet though--I know that if it really meant that much to me to get married right now, he''d do it in a heartbeat.

Tuckins, Wishful, Pearl, thanks for checking my thread on my silly SO... I think I'll keep him for now, unless he toys with me TOO much...

LadyPirate -- JUST DO IT!!!! ELOPE!!!

Ok, maybe that is just MY fantasy... *shrugs*

That so true! It makes all the difference in the world to know that both people are on the same page. It's funny, we have been dating for a long time now, and for many years, we both were saying, "there's not a big difference between being in a committed relationship and being married." Let me be the first to say that that is NOT true. There is a HUGE difference between dating someone and retaining them as an OPTION, and saying, it's YOU, no matter what, darn-it! I mean, we aren't even engaged, but just knowing that that is goal that we are both working towards makes a huge difference. It feels so different, and so good!

Ugh, I'm one of those girls who is getting all mushy....

 

[KCCutie]

LOL Trillionaire!

You are so cute! And so right!

My SO and I feel like we are already engaged too. The only thing missing is the ring so that everyone else really gets it. he said the moment we both decided that this is what we wanted he felt like we were engaged. I think it''s kinda cool that we get to share this feeling and kind of keep it our little secret for a little bit before everyone else knows about it. It has made us feel so much closer and it''s an amazing feeling.....Oh here I go getting all mushy too! UGH! See what you started!

HAHAHA, contagious mush! I love it!

His latest

:

Him: you should go to bed soon.
Me: I will, soon enough.
Him: You should go to bed and think wonderful thoughts of me.
Me: I'll do at least one of the two.
Him: And you should buy me my ring.
Me: *laughing* I told you that was a bit premature.
Him: Yeah, but I'm waiting for you to ask.

 

[Dreamgirl]

haha!

Ohh.. don''t get offended (as this is only a joke) but by these conversations the two of you have it makes me think he is more like the woman and you are the man in this relationship. He wants a ring so badly, and you tell him not yet.....NOT YET!!!

 

[vita*dolce]

your boyfriend sounds so funny!! it''s awesome that he''s so communicative about wanting to marry you!! maybe next time you should say, "ok. consider us engaged. now buy me my ring!!" clearly he thinks that''s sound logic so it might be worth a shot!!

 

[trillionaire]

Vita:

I am fairly certain that he has the ring already, but he doesn''t know that I know. (It''s not my fault that men are not good at being sneaky, lol) He''s been saying things like this ever since he got the ring, and it is too funny to me. I really think he is trying to initiate a battle of wills or something, because he KNOWS that I will get impatient and pop the question first. And it''s hard NOT to do it, because then I could have the ring AND the engagement without the wait!

A terrible predicament for me to be in!

Re: Dreamgirl

You are halfway right! I was the one dragging about marriage! As recently as May, we had a long discussion where he told me that he didn''t think that I wanted to get married. I asked him why in the world he would date me for 5 years if he didn''t think I wanted to get married, since I knew that he did. He said he thought I would change my mind eventually. Silly man.

As soon as I said, "let''s go for it", he practically ran to the store to buy a ring! And now he is taunting me everyday. I have to admit though, it''s a lot of fun! It''s like the honeymoon phase all over again, and it is FANTASTIC!

At this point, I don''t know if he is petitioning for an e-ring, a wedding ring, or BOTH!

 

[Dreamgirl]

HA! Ok this has just made me laugh even more. I recently posted on here that I told my boyfriend maybe he doesn''t want to marry me to which he replied: "Why would I still be here (10 years) if I didn''t want to marry you!" hehe

Just like you two but opposites... I was silly to say that to him anyway obviously I knew that..........lol!

 

[vita*dolce]

OH MY GOD!! he already has it???? how are you managing to hold on!!! i''d be going crazy!! waiting is hard enough without knowing that a special little sparkly is hidden somewhere nearby!! i hope you''ve got your game-face on!!

 

[trillionaire]

Vita:

I have assumed that he has it, as of a few weeks ago. I know him well, so I would put a lot of money on me being right about it... I've posted the links to my threads about it, if you are curious!

First Thread

Second Thread

ETA: I was really excited when I didn't know, then once I felt confident that he had it, I just relaxed and was super happy. Now I just want to get the show on the road... and by that I mean skip the engagement stuff and go straight to marriage! I find myself not really caring about the ring... but probably only because I haven't seen it

! And it helps that he lives a few states away...
