Ringless - you are SO right when you say that it''s incredibly exciting to be IN LOVE and anticipating an engagement. In some ways, as much as I hate this wait, I feel like I am more happy now than ever - I will totally be marrying this guy in the next coupla years and he could surprise me ANY DAY with that beautiful diamond!!! Does it get any better???!!!!

To answer the question, though, I don''t think he will do it by year-end but I expect it within the first coupla months of 2009!!! EEEE I can''t freaking wait! Dust to everyone, can''t wait to see the many proposal stories coming up!
 
Hopefully me!!!! I''ve had my fingers crossed for months now! And I honestly don''t think it will be longer than the end of the year... and I''m even hoping for closer to Thanksgiving than Christmas!
 
Thanks Spark! Your kitty is looking even more regal with a crown of holly. LOL...

I know elle, seems like yesterday everything was happening and it was 6 months. Whoa.
 
If you had asked me this question last month I would have said early December.

NOW!!

I am saying NEVER!!!!

He has the ring. He has had it since JULY!!!

I don''t know what is going on. I think he is holding out because I don''t want to have a relationship with his mother and until I do.... No ring

So no dust, thank you

It was so fun/exciting to read through this thread. It sounds like there will be lots of proposals this holidays season.

I am hoping that one of them will be mine, but I know that realistically, it will probably be more like early 09 for me (and I see I have some buddies in that time frame as well!

). He is making an offer on a house and I''m pretty sure every last penny in his savings is going to go for a down payment.... and then he''s gonna need furniture... so we''ll see. But he has said that ring is next on his list.

On another note, is anyone else completely annoyed with all the diamond commercials that have been cropping up lately? It''s really interfering with my effort to not think about it ("that''s Jarrod.... it could only be Jarrod!")! haha.
 
No Freke proposal on the horizon for this year (unless he''s super sneaky). Although, I think there could be the possibility that a ring could be in the near future for his dresser drawer.

Having said that, there is a slim chance that it could happen when we go to Vegas Dec 17-20, but it is highly unlikely. Although, almost all of my friends think he''ll do it then. But still, he''s told me not until after April, and he has good reasons, so I''m going to stick to that.

Dust to all of you ladies!!!I hope the list basically disintegrates by Jan 1!!!!
 
Summer 09 is the soonest I would be able to post engagement news here, so not yet.

But, good luck and LOTS OF DUST to all you lucky LIWs who are in the homestretch!

I''m with all of you ladies!! I was waiting for a bonus from work as well to move our engagement along (I told him all along I wanted to contribute to my ring) and I FINALLY got it on Friday!! FF said that he doesn''t want to propose during the holidays because he feels it''s "cliche and overly done" - so he said it would be sometime in January. I could care less if he did it on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or next week... I just want my ring! At least I''m only looking at 2 more months at the most - after 7 long years!

***Dust to everyone***

I feel your pain. SO is holding mine hostage too, since July.

All you ladies who have rings in hiding, I hope you get them soon!

My BF has been always said (since shortly after we met) that he always wanted to do a surprise proposal. And for him, me helping him pick out a ring before hand would ruin the surprise. I know he is thinking about it, but I have no idea where he is in that thought process. It is probably going to happen in the next 10 months (before we move in together), but I have no idea other than that. I would be shocked if he did it before the year ends.
 
OOO what great news! How exciting for you!!

Of course I''m HOPING to be engaged by New Years but I''m really not going to get my hopes up too high. I''ve got no clue what he has up his sleeve (or doesn''t have...)

I''m so excited for all of you who are going to be getting proposals this holiday season! I can''t wait to hear all of the happy stories

My timeline is a little bit longer. We''re in the process of moving (both moving to a different city and moving in together), and that''s kind of preoccupying us right now. After we get settled into the new house, we''re getting a puppy. And after that...he said he knows how and when he''s going to, but not so much with what. Think I should refer him to PS?

Sorry if this is prying, but why don''t you want a relationship with his mom? I mean, on the surface, it seems perfectly reasonable that he''d want you and his mom to get along if you''re to become part of his family. So, why not?

I''m not expecting anything this year. SO has made it clear that it will be a day of symbolism for us as a couple sometime before summer. He and his mom have mentioned that it won''t be Christmas. I don''t think he''s asked my parents yet and he said he wouldn''t get a ring before he asks my parents, so Turkey day is out.

I think possibly February ''09 will make the most sense (a lot of "days of significance"...our 2yr. anniversary, V-Day, my birthday, etc).

Best wishes to all ladies with hopes of a holiday engagement!
