Proposal hint

I went for a walk with my OH a few nights ago, and she proceeded to tell me tht she'd like to be engaged now. I'm working on it, but it was a bt of a shock to hear. Will she be getting impatient?

So what's the problem ? .Are you 100% sure it's what you want or are ready for yourself ? Like engagements can last a long time , plenty of time to re think if it's the case or perhaps your worried she will get cold feet and change her mind ? .Quite understandable to .

Don't want to mess up the proposal I supose. That's my only fear.

No. Anytime in the next 6 months will probably do.

However, you might want to be prepared for a short engagement if she's very eager and have some cash to back up not only a ring but also at least a good chunk of a wedding.

you know, I don't think that's possible. If you have a look on any of the wedding forums there will always be a thread on "how did he propose?"

From the "skydived from outer space with a rock the size of an apple between his teeth" to the "I was cleaning the ashes out of the fire with soot all over my face" proposals, the one thing that they almost always say is "it was so romantic and just perfect for us".

The two questions to ask yourself about proposing (assuming you've got the whole thing of this being the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with bit out of the way) are
1. Is she likely to prefer a big public proposal or an intimate one
2. Would she prefer you had the ring already or would you like to pick it together.

From reading various forums it would appear most women fall into the private proposal picking the ring together category but you know your wife to be better than the internet does.

I had to drop major hints to my now-husband too! It took him another 4 months to finally get it together but it was worth the wait. He took me to france to propose. Predictable but I wasnt complaining!!

HA you'd die if you were my boyfriend. I tell him every day i cant wait for him to propose. But we talk about our wedding the whole time. I dont even drop hints i tell him. Ive also told him it better be this year.

Hope he is panicing like you.

That's a lot of forcing she's doing there-are you sure yr both on the same page? Seems like she's looking to start making wedding plans the minute you give her the ring!:eek:

If you know you are going to get married what exactly is the point of a proposal? Why not just sit down together and decide when and how you want to get married?

No nagging needed, I'm all set to ask her for her hand.....she's in Thailand at the mo. All the preparation was sorted last night, with regards the book I'm giving her. It'll probably be in the next month, need to get down to Kerry to ask her though. She's from there, and it'd have more of a meaning to her.
