So Not A Fan of Boy Time

[SeattleSparkle]

This marks the end of day day 11 that the ring has been done. No proposal. Ugh. I was so excited that I well, thought the ring was done, and now I think it's just a burden. What is taking so long? I just thought since it took 8 weeks to make, that he would be ready to propose by the time it was done. Soooo frustrating. Waiting, waiting ...so much for my optimistic 'I could be next'

Sorry guys for the false alarm. Maybe I won't be part of the next bunch of LIW graduates.

I''m sorry Seattle. I dunno what to say, other than at least your beautiful ring is ready! I really hope it won''t be too much longer for you now. I had a mini whine session to M tonight because we have no idea when we''ll be able to get engaged...we''re shooting for next year...but so much has to happen before we go down that road since we don''t want to have a long engagement. My heart almost dropped tonight when he said ''Honey, do you want me to give you a ring now?'' and I thought um yeah but not really since we can''t set a concrete wedding date yet. Grr. Ok, I''m sorry for whining/hijacking. What I''m getting at is that you''re so close and it HAS to happen soon since he has the ring in his possession and if it doesn''t, we''ll go get him!

Seattle, I''m sorry. I was thinking about you this weekend, too. Dang it all for boys and their plans, huh? However, I bet that your boy is making plans, too. Plans don''t always fall in our time slots, but well, it is cute to think that they spend so much time trying to "do it right" even though the wait stinks. At least I''m trying to see it from that perspective. It is hard though. Tomorrow, my boy will have had our ring an entire MONTH and I certainly didn''t think I''d be not engaged yet!

The good news is it''s coming, and I do get to thinking about how many weekends, etc. he could have asked, but at least we both know it''s coming, and most likely soon.

When did you say you two have plans that aren''t set with other people in them? I remember you saying something about being really busy with other obligations. Maybe he''s waiting for a "slow" weekend when it can be totally relaxing and just focusing on the two of you.

Here''s hoping it''s soon! *I feel silly for the whole "I may be next" thing, too. Just roll with it. It''ll happen!!*

Oh, silly boys for making plans... I''m sending you lots of sparkly vibes!

Hi Seattle! hope it happens soon for you!! The wait is terrible... isn''t it?

I''m in the same position. Mine in a nutshell:

Ring: 6 weeks to make, damn Tacori!
FF: 2 weeks to pick it up

8 weeks later, still waiting!

However, after our heart-to-heart last weekend

I think it''s coming soon....

I''m sending you some sparklies and PATIENCE! .....of what I have left!!!

 

[robbie3982]

agh! I HATE plans! All I want is some heart felt words and the ring. I don''t need some huge elaborate plan that takes months to enact! My ff swears that once the plan happens I''ll understand why it had to be at a certain time and that it will be really special and memorable. It would be special and memorable no matter how he did it!

I''m sending sparkley vibes too. I''d send patience, but well, I obviously have none

Seattle, I hate boy time too! They are such aliens! You know, when I think back to the process of my ring, we had our diamond in April and the ring was ready mid-June. Since we''d started the process seriously in Nov, like you, I thought it was bound to happen right after we got it in....if you remember, I was posting that I hoped he''d hold onto it for the first week so he could give it to me on the trip! Several false alarms later, I finally got it, but my patience grew shorter and shorter once the ring was on the shelf (where it lived for one day shy of 5 weeks!) And it STILL managed to be a surprise, amazingly!

I actually thought it would be EASIER to wait once it was in my house. I was apparently delusional.

What''s the moral of my story? Guys are idiots. OK, no, I''m just (sorta{])kidding. But their timing leaves a lot to be desired. I guess I''m just reminding you that it will happen, sooner or later, and at least he HAS the ring. And I''m staying here until I can take you off of the list!!

Aw Seattle I'm sorry your stuck playing the waiting game!! I can only imagine how hard this wait must be. Hang in there girl!

ETA: I love the title of this thread!! "Boy time"

 

[SeattleSparkle]

Aw, thanks guys for the encouraging words and some perspective.

And if you are already sending sparkely vibes my way, can you also send some patient vibes? I could REALLY use some of those.

I asked him what he did today and he said "nothing." Nothing!! He could of been planning or something.

Fisher, our "down-time" weekend is not this weekend or the next, it''s the one after that ... then we go to Costa Rica. Ugh. Welp, here marks day 12.

 

[fisherofmengirly]

Seattle, maybe he is planning and says "nothing" to keep you guessing. Why boys do this stuff, I do not know. They definitely get pleasure out of seeing us wiggle, though. I''m sure of it.

Maybe your weekend will still have a tidbit of time that''s free. I don''t get why things have to be HUGE weekend ordeals. It''s crazy odd to me. Aye.

To "boy time" we should also add "boy ideals" because I think sometimes they really do exceed girl ideals in this area, particularly when ideals mean ADDED TIME!!

If I had any patience left, I''d share with you. Promise!

Keep on keeping on. It''s crazy, but it''s also kind of fun having the build up. Or at least right this second I''m not going batty.

I''ll be thinking of you!!
