I tell you ladies, I never knew anything could be so stressful as learning about a ring, ordering the ring, waiting for the ring to arrive, coming up with the proposal idea, asking permission from the parents, and finally PROPOSING! I am at stage 3 right now- waiting for the ring to arrive. I have confirmation the jeweler has it and its complete. My problem is, the final payment hasn''t gotten to them yet. ARGGH!
I sent it Monday, certified and all, and was told it would arrive to them Thursday. I am sending it across country but c''mon. Talked to the jeweler and they didn''t get it in their mail. Give the guy a break! Do they want me to have a heart attack in my mid 20''s? Now your probably asking yourself, "Why is he so worked up? The checks in the mail, and the ring is done." Lets just say I am cutting the arrival date of the ring and planned proposal date really close. Yes, my fault. But what would a proposal be without a few mishaps. And keeping this all under wraps is no small task when you have a GF who LOVES to snoop! I can''t even wrap a Christmas present without her tearing a corner open to sneak a peak. Imagine if she knew she has a ring coming, or worse, the ring is in the house!! From the emails back and forth to the jeweler, to the planning of the proposal, to asking her parents for permission.....man, it doesn''t end. I know this pimple on my cheek is from the stress because I rarely break out!
Yes, I am venting. Yes, I feel better. I love PS for this because it gives a guy like me a chance to express what a lot of you have gone throug and are going through in a different way. I''m sure for those of you who know your SO has the ring and are just waiting for him to ask are pulling your hair out every night. I give all of you much credit for keeping your sanity and not belting out, "Just give me the damn rock already! What are you waiting for??"
It is a slow, stressful, and tedious process that you must go through. Alot of men are perfectionists and want every moment to be perfect. So for some, its not on purpose and yes, we have a plan. Just know alot of you ladies are not alone with this stress. If he has ordered the ring, or has the ring, give him some time. For some guys, it could be a reverse psychology tactic to make her wait and see how worked up she will get. Either to prove how much she loves and wants to marry him, or how crazy she ultimately is and will do anything to get what she wants
For those guys who have girls like this, get out while you still can! Just joking I myself have a GF who is the latter and would not have it any other way. It just makes the process that much more rewarding for me and aids in myself typing a post like this..lucky me!
Ok, I''m done. Just wanted to stress to some that this isn''t a "gravy train" for us guys either. And for those men who have and can keep your cool during this, I envy you... and please pm me as to what sedatives you are on!
