Has anyone proposed to their boyfriend?

Question

If so, how did you do it? And how did you feel about letting go of that romantic idea of being proposed to with a ring etc.

Answer

I did but it was kind of unexpected lol he had been looking for a new job and was talking to a security guard about where he could apply.  The security guard encauranged him to join the military. He talked to us about all the benefits for about a half hour. When we got back in the car, I looked at him and said "if you join the military, we're getting married" I didn't want to be a military gf. I wanted it all or nothing! Lol 9 months later we had our wedding.

Answer

For us, it was a discussion. We already lived together /been together for 8 years when my husband's father died.  He always referred to me as his daughter and introduced me as his daughter in law.  We realized that he never got to see any of his children get married. We didn't want that to be the  same for his mom. So, we decided to get married for our parents sake instead of always putting it off for when we could afford it.  Once we told my mom, she gave him a family ring to propose with and our parents practically paid for the entire wedding. They were so excited. Looking back, we wished we hadn't waited so long so his dad could have been there. Sometimes, we don't realize that a wedding can be as exciting for the parents as it is for the couple themselves, if not more.  Perhaps if you talk to him from the point of view that we missed out on, you can pull him away from that comfort zone of waiting until it can be afforded and more for doing so while there are loved ones in your life that you would like to be there when you take that step.

Answer

The guys that I have ever dated would not have taken well to that. Men know it is typically their job, I feel like when they are ready they will. If a women asks, it looks like you are in a rush. Give it time.
