today-but not today :(

[midgirl]

SO I thought it would be Monday and no not Monday

then I thought Tuesday. Then Wednesday and now Thursday

and bf told me definately not Thursday he had to ask my dad and he has no time to and for some reason he has to "ask" his dad which I think is stupid. He doesn''t need to ask his dad for permission and now asking those two people who are always traveling for business, it certainly won''t be soon.

we only have 10 days for a return to whiteflash if something (god forbid) is wrong with the ring.


I don''t understand if he has it why can''t he just give it to me? He has had it and we have been talking about it for so long.


I am just frusterated because my dad has already told him yes 1,000,000 times.

guys don''t realize that if they already bought it they should give it to us, why make us wait for so long

Awww, I''m sorry this is torturing you Midgirl! It''s going to happen, and soon! Enjoy the anticipation. I''m sure everything will be fine

I can understand midgirl...we are in the process of putting together a ring, and when it''s done he will pick it up from the appraiser (so I won''t have seen it) and he''ll decide when and where he wants to give it to me. I''m sure I''ll be very curious to see it when it''s done, but I have promised myself to let him do it on his own time and not say a word.

Obviously you are being patient and choosing to vent here instead of at your boyfriend! Good for you. Just keep in perspective, as cliche as it sounds, what''s another day or two in a lifetime together? I really believe that guys just have to do things in their own time. Since you already have the ring, it''s not like it''s a case of him dragging his feet on whether or not he wants to marry you. He may be planning the perfect proposal, rather than just "giving it to you."

However, for your sake, I hope it is soon!

Aw, man...how frustrating. A lot of us know exactly what you are going through...I''m going on 1 1/2 months with the ring...not on my finger. Maybe I''ll start a thread about it tomorrow... Anyways, try to be understanding, or at least try to act understanding. It will be worth the wait, and it''s very sweet that he wants to do everything right and ask your dad and what not. It seems like it might mean a lot to him and he should get to do that if he wants to. It will probably end up being more special having to wait for it a while and he might take the extra time to plan it out better.

That being said...being patient is NOT easy, and I understand that you want it on your finger ASAP. I try to focus on my work and this helps. Recently, I gave myself a little retail therapy and bought a few things from my spiegel catalog and this tided me over for at least a week...bad girl...but I figure clothes are cheaper than diamonds right?? Good luck, we''ll all rooting for a quick and thoughtful proposal. Be sure to tell the story when he does.

 

[midgirl]

Yea I know girls!

It is just he told me he was going to do it

AND

he hung the whiteflash magnet on the fridge-i hate that!

 

[sumbride]

Ugh, what torture!

When I told my bf that I wanted to be involved with the ring, he decided it would be AFTER he proposed. I was a little upset by that because it means I have to wait even longer after the proposal... but now that I''m seeing this side of the story, I guess maybe it''s not so bad. Of course, I''ll probably be grumbling then too!

 

[firebirdgold]

Oh! How frustrating!

We''ll keep our fingers crossed for you!

 

[anchor31]

Don''t worry so much, it''s coming, and it''s going to be perfect!

Keep us posted!

I know it's hard but we have to remember that our men have dreams about how the proposal is supposed to go too.

Its been 9 weeks that my ring has been sitting in its box on the shelf next to the tv staring at me every day. A few days after we got the ring my boyfriend told me it would take 8 weeks to "source the parts" for the proposal which I assumed was a joke but apparently not. He keeps getting packages in the mail that he hurriedly hides from me, so I know he's working on something and he thinks it's important enough to make me wait even though I ask him everyday if he's done with my surprise yet. I guess we just have to let our men do their thing.

Try and be patient, I know how hard it is but it'll come.

Don''t stress yourself out too much, there''s not much that you can do about it, he is in control! Just sit back and relax.. enjoy the final days of not being engaged. It''ll happen!!

 

[moon river]

AARRGGGHHH!!!Don''t guys just drive you nuts????

 

[fatafelice]

I feel ya, Midgirl!!! I myself know that the stone has been shipped, but nothing beyond that! I haven''t said a peep about it since the day he bought it...I want to maintain SOME surprise. But, honestly, my tounge is bleeding, I''ve been biting it so hard! LOL

Fingers crossed that you will be next of the list... ASAP!

 

[midgirl]

THanks guys! It is just annoying that he has it complete and he told me he is waiting for the right time.


argh!!
