My bf is so not romantic

Here's how today's conversation went: Me: Hi babe, how are you? Him: Good. Me: What are you up to? Him: I just finished wiring the money for your e-ring. Me: Umm... I was speechless. I'm not really into surprises, but I was shocked that he just came out and said it. Oh well, I'm just playing the waiting game now. He told me that he won't hang on to the ring very long because he wants to propose within the return period. This way if I don't like it, I can exchange the ring.

    Well, we pride ourselves on being honest with each other. But damn, I didn't expect that.

    Funny- I just a very similar conversation with my BF.  We just got paid for a project we working on and I asked what he was going to use his check for.  So he told me.  But I don't care because I'm not romantic either.  Did you help pick the ring?

    yes, I did choose the ring. It's not like it was going to be a big surprise. I just didn't expect him to say that.

    I picked one out too.  I also figured he would keep the details to himself once he knew what I liked, but like you said it was never going to be a big surprise since we talked about everything together.

    I can totally see FI being this way if he'd had to buy a ring.  Especially the logical "I'm going to propose within the return period so if you don't like it we can take it back."  That's just priceless.  Maybe not so much the coming right out and telling me he'd bought it, since he was so gung ho on surprising me.

    Classic. FI did something similar. I was out of town one weekend and called him to chat and asked if he had done anything fun that day. His response "I bought your engagement ring". Smooth, FI. He kind of seemed horrified/shocked that he had actually just told me. It was a classic moment. Oh FI's... gotta love them.
