Little update for me:
Last night M and I (after a few drinks) somehow ended up on the subject about engagement and rings.
He said that he absolutely wants to marry me and has thought about rings, but he just doesn't even know where to begin with it all. He said "I know you're picky, and you change your mind a lot. So I'm going to let you pick out what you want. Then just show me." He likes three stone (as do I), and he assumed I wanted platinum, but I corrected him and firmly stated "No, white gold is fine!" His mom's ring is platinum, and she told me don't go that route, as hers has started to bend in places and lose it's shape.
So, I'm sitting here thinking how I'd LOVE the Verragio twisted shank, 3 stone princess cut but..... I know that's out of his price range. I'm going to have to compromise and find something more........... plain, and affordable.
He mentioned how in his FB newsfeed that some girl posted a pic of her ring, and he's like "It was so f*cking yellow, I felt embarrassed for her, for posting that!" And jokingly, I said "Well, maybe it was a colored stone, and not a diamond." He said "Oh no, it was a diamond. A very yellow, dingy diamond." It was just the way he said it, I just cracked up.
Anyway, the one thing I didn't get to was his thought on a timeline! *facepalm*I can't believe that. But, I'm happy that we at least were talking openly about rings and he didn't seem uncomfortable, nor did he try to change the subject (technically, I think he brought it up). It's a start, right?
ETA: He did say that he wouldn't buy from a mall store like Zales or Jared, which impressed me! He's so good when it comes to researching big purchases. He researched for a year before we bought out 55 inch bad @ss t.v.Such a good man!

As for me, i'm still waiting! as of this month we have been living together just over a year. We went shopping the other day and obviously went into my favorite store



He likes to tell me 2013...but no indication of when. I know he's just waiting for money to be saved - so it's not that he doesn't want to do it - he just has to save the money. I don't.like.waiting.
