I don’t know why, but I’ve recently gotten very impatient about my boyfriend proposing. We bought and picked up my ring mid-February. I know it’s going to happen sometime this summer, but I don’t know when. He said he didn’t want to propose on a random day, but our anniversary was April 11 and we don’t have any special dates coming up other than his birthday in May. It’s very unlikely he’ll propose on his birthday. I just want to get the show on the road! I’m so excited to live with him—which we can’t do unless we are at least engaged unless we want to deal with a whole lot of BS from my family—and marry him. It’s only recently that I’ve gotten so impatient, and I need to figure out how to deal with it better. I’m not actually in a rush because I know it’s going to happen, so I don’t know what’s going on.

Edit:

Yeah I know I have to be patient and he’ll propose when he’s ready...but why would he buy the ring if he weren’t ready? He’s not the kind of person who would do that. He thinks about everything a million times and makes sure he’s 100% certain before even saying anything, never mind doing anything. I just want to know what the hold up is because I know it’s not that he isn’t ready.
