WHEN do you know your boyfriend is going to ask you to marry him?

Question

He made reservations for dinner tonight, and I said that I did not want him to feel that he had to take me out. He said this had nothing to do with feeling guilty, and he will not tell me where the reservations are. I know he has the ring, and we have been talking about engagment lately. I just dont know???

Answer 1

I knew because we had the wedding half planned before I got my ring and he "officially" proposed.  He did pick up the ring without me knowing though and kind-of surpised me that was.

Answer 2

Be honest with him! but maybe do it before you fo out, to save any embarrassment.

Answer 3

I thought mine was trying to break up with me!

Don't be disappointed if it's something else entirely...

Answer 4

try not to get yourself too worked up about it. You'll just drive yourself crazy. Just get ready, look your best and go to your surprise dinner location and enjoy yourself. If it happens, it happens, if not...well then maybe next time...

Answer 5

you wont know forsure... let it be a big surprise

but, remember the small details... place, time, how, what was said... all this you want to remember and share with your kids someday!

Answer 6

Ah, that's going to be a surprise for him!  Certainly don't agree if you're not ready, say you need time to think it over.

Answer 7

I knew because I knew him.  If you have that feeling, then you could probably be right, but don't get your hopes up.

My fiance proposed the day we moved in together, so I kind of knew that was an important day and he wanted to prove his commitment to our future, beyond me just moving in.  I really had "that feeling" the weeks leading up to it.  We had been together for over 3.5 years at that point, so we had talked about weddings and getting engaged "in the future" but he really canned the future talk for the weeks leading up to it; like he was trying the "throw me off" or something.

So yeah, just go with your gut on this, but don't get your hopes up either (my friend did that last Christmas and was a little heart broken when it didn't come).

Good Luck!
