So, yesterday morning, I almost had an internal meltdown because of the waiting game - I go through this cycle every couple months where I freak out to myself (and sometimes to him :evil: ) and then I tell myself to chill out because I know it's coming, and then I try to distract myself...and then after a month or two, the cycle repeats. Well, yesterday morning, I was in the freak out phase (I even posted a couple comments on other people's topics about it), but I was doing a good job of keeping it to myself. Then, the BF and I went to the mall after work and next thing I know, we're in a jewelry store. I said I would love to look at rings one day since I've never really tried any on (we went once but the place didn't really have anything I liked), and he said, "let's do it now." And so we did! We ended up spending an hour looking at different settings. He was so involved and asking tons of questions, and I could tell he was taking mental notes. I know he plans to buy from an online vendor but it was really nice for both of us to see what certain settings looked like on my hand. It was so fun and it made me feel so much better when earlier that day I was about to have a meltdown. The whole ride home I wanted to call everyone I knew, but I had to play it cool and act like it was no big deal....even though I was freaking out on the inside! :wacko: Anyway, it was a fun evening and it got me even more excited about what is hopefully soon to come. I had to come on and share because I was about to burst!
 
Mmmm very exciting :appl: so what styles did you like?
 
Thanks! I'm pretty excited. Although, I swear I'm with the slowest-moving man of all time so it could still be months away. Anyway, I like a pretty simple style - basically just a solitaire with a round center stone and diamonds around the band. I had no idea how many different variations of that I could try on, though! I don't know that much about diamonds, so I'm a little dumb in this area. Luckily, the BF wanted to take the reins here, which I appreciated. So, I just have to trust in him to get the right thing!
 
Very exciting!! I just love to go ring shopping, or really any jewelry shopping! I have similar tastes to you in terms of rings. I love basic solitaires with round center stones. For a while, I toyed with the idea of a three stone and I still do occasionally. But, I think I love solitaires the best and I feel like it really helps the center stone to stand out.

Send your BF to PS to learn more about diamonds. There is so much to learn and all the info here on PS will help to make sure that you get the biggest and sparkliest diamond for your budget!
 
How fun!!! I too love ring shopping. It sounds like your BF is really going in the right direction. Congrats on your fun day. :appl:
 
Thanks hearts-arrows girl! It's funny how this time feels like a complete roller coaster. One day I feel like we're moving in the right direction and the proposal is right around the corner and then the next day, I feel like it's months off. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see. :twirl:
