so, in my latest post in this thread - [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/a-liw-in-europe.173426/,,,,,,,,']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/a-liw-in-europe.173426/,,,,,,,,,,[/URL],
i wrote that i was suspicious about SO planning to propose to me earlier than he is saying (july instead of sept).

there have been tiny little hints as to why i thought this over the last few weeks, but today i think my friend let slip something that might possibly confirm my suspicions!

she is one of my closest friends, and best friend where i currently live (a few countries away from SO). she has messaging sessions with my SO from time to time as they have become friends and get on great, mostly about her guy problems (she's single, and because a) she doesn't want to bore me as i hear about it everyday, and b) SO gives her better advice than me. haha). she was telling me that the topic of my ring had come up yesterday while they were messaging, and she said, "blablablabla so i told him we talk about it all the time, and he said it's being made as we speak, blablablabla".

the thing is, i don't think she has any idea that she let something "bad" slip, because she doesn't know his story about the ring to me. which is that he is only giving the design to the jeweller in the summer, after our trip to greece, and doesn't want it made a long time before the autumn because he doesn't want to hang on to it too long before he gives it to me.

oops! i know that this guarantees nothing, but i really have a strong gut feeling, after the tiny clues i've picked up on and now this, that he might be proposing in greece, which is just 2 months & 1 week away!

honestly, i'm not going to be upset if it doesn't happen then, because even then i'll only have a couple more months to wait. all i'm worried about is that i'll somehow blab to a friend or to him that this is what i suspect, because if i'm right, i really really don't want to ruin the surprise for him! i know that he'll brush it off even if i'm right, but i just want to keep my big mouth shut. i also don't want any blame to fall on this friend as she really is innocent and didn't know what facts i was given!

so i had to come here and get it off my chest :) i will never voice these suspicions to anyone else, a) in case i'm totally off the mark, and b) because i want to keep being as gullible as SO thinks i am (i really am usually, my detective antennas are just very sensitive right now!) and not ruin the surprise, if it is one.

wish me luck!
 
oooh good luck keeping your mouth shut hehehe. I hope it will happen during your trip to Greece in 2 months as well!!! yippee, ****dust**** your way!!!
 
You can do it.....just think of how hard he is working to surprise you early...don't want to disappoint him or think it is not worth it to keep the surprise going. As much joy as you will get from him asking, he is going to get from doing the asking!!

You can do it!! Just keep repeating.....and keep telling us. We promise we won't tell! :lol:
 
Sooo exciting! Keep it to yourself! :)
 
Oh, that does sound highly suspicious...!!!! Exciting and do your utmost to keep it to yourself - just share here if you need to. He's probably so excited to be surprising you!
 
thanks for the support ladies!

@pandabee - thank you! i hope so too :)

@phdecorate - absolutely, i know that he's very excited about his plans, whatever they may be, and i want it to be perfect for him!

@audball - i definitely will! though i've never kept anything from him before, so it feels weird ;)

@enerchi - yes he definitely is, i'm determined not to mess it up!
 
You aren't keeping anything from him at all!!! You are allowing him to do what he's hoping to do, follow thru on his own plans so to speak, but not spoiling them by hinting you have some knowledge of what he's doing. I think that is a KIND thing to do, not cruel at all!!!

Just keep posting when you feel like you are going to explode!!!
 
thank you for that!! you're right, this is one of those things - a true "white lie by omission??" ;) in any case, i may have a couple of facts, but in the end the whole thing will still be a surprise and i'm excited no matter what!
 
SO EXCITING! I hope he surprises you early :)
 
@Sun-Shine - thank you! i hope so :)
 
Eeeee! I'm totally excited for you.
 
thanks audball! :)
 
:)
 
Oh yay, I can totally imagine how excited you must be right now!!! :appl: Awesome!
 
OMG how exciting. Rant here. To us. Because we want to hear all of it. :)
 
@ star sparkle - thanks! excited, surreal, disbelief... it's all there every day :)

@madelise - for sure, i'll make sure to rant here when the desire strikes! thanks for the moral support :)
 
Hanging in there peonia?
 
hey audball :) thanks for checking in! it's all ok so far, haven't let anything slip and he's not at all suspicious that i know anything. he has since said a couple of things that had me silently chuckling on this end of the phone, but it was again a case of him reminding me of the facts that he's given me ;)

i honestly cannot believe that my ring is being made/has been made right now!! i'll be kept pretty busy these coming two months so hopefully they'll go by faster... and i'm also focusing on the fact that i have just two months to get in tip top bikini shape haha.

Eeee!! :) :) Good for you! Keep that mouth shut! It'll be here before you know it!! I don't recall at the moment...do you know anything about the ring choice?

Focusing on that bikini! Good idea!
 
I'm 147 again, so my "extra" mini goal of standing steady til finals has held out. I'll be back on track tomorrow! I'm going to the beach on June 11, so my new goal is 140 by then!
 
@audball - thanks :D about the ring choice, yes i know roughly what the ring will look like, since we went to look at rings to try some on and check out the details, and came up with the design together (it's not an unusual design, but we were both quite picky with the minor details). i can sort of imagine what it will look like, but i know i'll still be shocked when i see it!! from what i know of it unless he's changed something without telling me (which honestly wouldn't bother me that much, he has very good taste in jewellery and knows what looks best on me better than i do myself!), it will be a 1ct RB cut in 6 prongs classic tiffany setting, with a thin pave band that tapers in towards the centre stone. i have tiny tiny hands with equally tiny fingers (size 3.5-4) which makes the 1ct stand out so much i nearly told him to get a smaller stone (none of my friends are engaged/married so anything on that finger looks outrageous haha!). i think he was considering 0.8ct, but i think the dealer he was getting the diamond from had a really great 1ct so he decided to upgrade. i honestly cannot wait to see it!

@maebelle - good luck on your fitness goal! we'll have to cheer each other on :)
 
Sorry Peonia, my tabs got crossed or something!
 
haha no problem maebelle, it was amazingly not out of place after my bikini bod comment!
 
Hehehe, I've screwed up worse before, not even posting my comment in the right FORUM let alone the right thread ;)
It happens.
