Hi Knotties!  First of all, I'm a new Knottie on here.... or at least this is my first post. Smile

So my and my bf (at the moment) are in a long distance relationship... think Arkansas and Florida (yea I know right)!  But we made it work!  I know he bought the ring or is at least in the process of it because he keeps teasing me about it!  Has anyone tried to figure out when the proposal will be.  I've figured it'll be between August and November!  Crazy thing is.... we're about to put our deposit on our venue!  Weird order isn't it?

    I recommend taking off that part of putting a deposit on the venue...the girls around here don't really condone preplanning.

    See our sticky here- http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_not-engaged-yet_welcome-not-engaged-yet

    We believe preplanning takes away from the beauty of living in the present- and enjoying the pre-engagement glow.

    Hi Sherri! Lots of people around here have tried to figure out when our BFs would propose, but then we came here and got some sense smacked into us. Why would you want to figure that out? You should just relax and enjoy the time you spend with your BF instead of trying to figure out what the future holds. 

    PS - I speak from experience. i had nailed down the DAY my FI was going to propose but thank God he didn't wait until the evening like I thought he would, otherwise, it probably would have been difficult to act surprised. Instead, he asked me at 1:30 in the afternoon, which totally caught me off-guard. Again, DO NOT try to figure it out, it CAN ruin a beautiful moment.

    DON'T BOOK A VENUE!! You are not engaged.
    Read the sticky that lunar posted, take a deep breath, and CHILL.

    Enjoy where you guys are now, because the minute he proposes, life shifts and things will not be the same. There is no rush, so enjoy the moment.

    No, because then you're not living in the present and enjoying the relationship where it is now. I know it's really tempting to think about (we've all been there), but please stop. Don't you want to be surprised and able to totally be in the moment when it happens?

    And like PP have said, cease and desist with the pre-planning.

    -sigh- I can't understand putting down money for something you don't -know- for absolute certain is going to happen (or at least assume, because nothing is absolutely certain in life, but you get my point). What happens if he doesn't propose between August and November? Slow your roll until you're actually engaged or consider yourself engaged!

    I'm in a long distance relationship myself (Ohio and Tennessee) and I think he'll propose the next time we're together (after I go home in August). That doesn't mean I know it, no matter how many hints he gives me (which I've told him to stop!) or how much thinking I put into it, and doesn't mean I'm going to spend money on a wedding I don't know will happen. Sheesh.

    Now that I've gotten that out of my system...

    OP, please try to not obsess over when the engagement will be.  I know it's hard.  Really, I do, but if that's all you can think about, you're not living in the present and not enjoying the time you have with your BF as BF and GF.  Once he proposes, your dating years are O.V.E.R, and honestly, it's kind of sad (in a bitter sweet sense).

    The more you expect it to happen, the more you will be disappointed when it doesn't.

    I am recently engaged and I am very glad that I was able to be in the moment with my BF when he proposed.  If I had been thinking, "OMG it's coming!" I wouldn't have been able to remember all the wonderful things he said to me before dropping to one knee.

    Introduce yourself and stick around.  We will help keep you sane.

    I am also in the SFL area.  Where are you?

    ETA: Oh, and don't preplan ANYTHING.  Do not book a venue.  Do not buy a dress.  Do not pick your wedding party or colors.  Once you're engaged, you can do all of that stuff.  You will have plenty of time.  I promise.

    But she's obviously not considering herself engaged, since she called him BF. Ergo, she's not engaged. Booking a venue doesn't make one engaged any more than buying a crib makes me pregnant.

    Tu Shea-

    <font color="#000000">But technically engaged means, " a mutual promise or contract for a future marriage." It seems to me that a contract with a venue- is a contract for a future marraige. But perhaps they are just having a kick a$$ party!

    Yeah, maybe. But I don't want the OP or any lurkers to get the wrong impression. . . likely she'd take anything like that and run with it hearing only what she wants to hear. VALIDATION! Even if it is meant to be sarcastic. . . if you give a mouse a cookie. . . she's gonna want a wedding cake.

    Yes, there was a bit of sarcasm...However- I do believe that if someone has signed a contract with their significant other for a venue- or any other wedding related vendors- they are technically engaged.

    Because I believe- if you sign a contract- you are acknowledging that contract as a contract for a a future marriage. Thus- engaged. 

    Saying, "Booking a venue doesn't make one engaged any more than buying a crib makes me pregnant" doesn't make sense to me...because you can't decide to be pregnant. However, you can decide to be engaged.

    This saying would make more sense to me like this: 
    "Booking a venue doesn't make one married any more than buying a crib makes me pregnant"

    Or...

    "Booking a venue makes one officially engaged, just as buying a crib makes one officially trying to conceive"

    ::shrugs::

    But it's just my opinion. Not right or wrong. Just an opinion.

    I agree to an extent. I wonder if OP really means they both are, or she is. And if she means both of them, only THEY can consider themselves engaged but she doesn't seem to be.
