Howdy hey!

My husband didn't propose to me...and I wish he had...even when we got the ring, I was the one who picked it up. Eventually we were in his room one night after church just saying goodbye and he decided he'd give me the ring. OOO, romantic. NOT. To this day a secret, hidden part of me wishes he would have gone out of his way to surprise me with a proposal. I still love him and still wanted to marry him of course but yeah I wish he'd surprised me. But he's not romantic like that at all...BB, I hope your boyfriend does better than that...!!!


Yeah, I can understand why some men do it this way.. I'd do it differently myself, because I can see what the benefits of that could be, but I'm not criticising any men on how they propose to their future wife. But yes, I can think by myself, "sure, I'd do it this or that way, but definitely not that way" But it could depend on the situation too if it's my time to propose. Maybe I'm not very creative with proposals so I'll have to check out what a nice way of proposing could be..

Anyway, it's not my time yet, this is what I had to tell about it.

Praying for both of you guys! Sorry to hear you're under the weather :hug:

Baradimo, my husband's original idea was to put it on my toe (??) when I was sleeping. ^_^ I'm kinda glad he didn't do that.

I think it's not how grand you do it or even that you surprise her...but it's the initiative behind it. Men generally are not nearlly as "in tune" with being iniative with that kind of thing unless they're a natural romantic (and a few are) so that's why it is SO special to us girls when they go out of their way to do something unexpected and special like that. It's the thought that counts. I want to know that my husband thought of me extra-special and not just on his terms or in the way he would like something done. Does that make sense?

^_^

Apparently he thought so :doh:

When he told me that, I was dumbfounded...I think I must have given him a blank stare. I had no words. I'd seen the dang ring sitting there for 2 weeks on his night stand. People at church pressured him to give it to me because it was driving me up a wall and I'd told them I'd seen it sitting there lol. So he did...and when he "proposed" to me, he said "well, you already know how I feel about you, I want to be with you forever, so here's the ring"...^_^
