Thank you. I have kinda given up hope that it will happen this month...there really are NO hints, clues, etc. I have really been staying busy and trying my hardest not to keep thinking of when it will happen, although it is hard! More so than ever, my bf will bring up our future together and I can''t help but feel like that means it will happen soon, but who knows. I am trying to just be at ease and not anticipate it too much so when the time comes it will be a complete surprise. I know when it happens it will be really special. These past few weeks I''ve been really enjoying date nights and our time together and it really helps take the stress off of it all.Date: 2/2/2009 9:49:14 AM

Ladies... you want to be engaged, plant the seed and water frequently.
How do you do this... in your own REALLY CUTE way, you look. You;ll never know what you want until you actually start to go in person. So when you are shopping at the mall go in to a store and say I want to look at the pretties... see how he responds, if he refuses to go in with you and says he''s going to look at the sports store next door and will meet when you''re done... he''s not ready. If he is interested in what you like.. SWEET. If you dont want your ring from this store say I dont want my ring from the mall- I just want to look and see what I like.
I would say things like '' you should not be able to get my ring while you do anything else. You should not be able to combine this trip with any other purchase. Getting my ring should be the most inconveint thing you do, because you''re only going to propose once....'' ''You shouldnt ever buy jewelry from a place that you can also buy tampons and face soap.'' Stuff like that.
Water frequently. Send emails like, ooo I like this... because the closer your man gets to buying, the more interested he is in your input.
But the trick is also to talk about stuff they like. Sometimes you get so, ring obsessed you might forget about the fact that all this money the guy is spending on you, he could be doing so, and neglecting something that he too really wants. Women get soo ring focused but in the same regard aren''t dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars on something their man really wants. My man and I wanted a house, and I basically matched $ for $ by my saving for a down payment for a house. I am not saying you spend as much on him as he does on you... but I am saying you talk about things. Because, you are bettering YOUR situation by saving money... and when he finally does propose, YOU BOTH have a nice little nest egg. But I was an LIW for almost 3 years... so I was also saving splitsville money if I didn''t get my ring.
Best wishes to all you fine ladies... I hope you get rings in ''09!
