I've just got in from work and come home to a bottle of bubbly and some roses. We are off out for pizza in a bit!

I don't think he will propose over pizza so guess ill just have to wait longer.... I.wonder when it will be?

So just been speaking to the boy about proposals and how everyone is surprised that we are not engaged yet... He was like I dunno why people say that, I don't want to rush anything and if we're to spend the rest of our lives together then there's no rush. I said I would marry him tomorrow if I could and he just said he would rather buy a house first and then save up to get married...


Looks like I will be on this thread for the next 10 years!

Could actually cry right now..



On a lighter note I am watching the fatties on biggest loser and waiting for nominos valentines deal to arrive...

Hope you're having a great night!

Aw I know exactly how you feel.

That's what oh said to me. We didn't live together and had been going out for 6 years. I didn't want to buy anything together before we were married. However, he wanted to live together first.

So I gave in, I had in my head we would live together a year only, and if no proposal was forthwith then we were over, sad as I was. he then proposed, so he did genuinely want to see if we could live together. We get married next year and I still stand firm we won't jointly own a property until we're married, so we kinda compromised :rotfl:

I guess the question is can you wait?

Well I won't be able to get a mortgage for at least 5 years, plus there's no way I can afford a deposit right now! I wouldn't be looking to be getting married for 5 or so years but to be engaged would seal the deal.

I hope I can wait, I guess I will have to... However next year I go into the RAF (hopefully) so we shall see if we can stand the test... I will be in Birmingham studying nursing and he will be back here in Southampton... We shall see... Xxx

Congratulations Daisie, I think you get the award for shortest ever stay on the waiting for a proposal thread!!

Thank you to everyone for the exam congratulations and for your sympathy in regards to my rubbish V-day. Boyfriend turned up at work at 4.30pm with a card, three bunches of flowers, three scratchcards and a chunky peanut butter kit kat :rotfl:, I am still a little upset that he left it so late but I am trying to be grateful that he did make the effort in the end. Only problem is that I don't have enough vases so I have some flowers in pint glasses, very tacky! I took my mum and daughter some flowers after work too and they were both very happy.

Big hugs to all of those who are desperately waiting for a proposal...I know most of us didn't think today would be it but I know it doesn't stop you from wishing or hoping that it had happened and it hurts a bit that it wasn't your turn. xxx
