We have been together almost two years. We have talked about marriage for a while, and its not a matter of "if", but a matter of "when". He told me when he proposes it will be a surprise. Every once in a while one of our friends will ask "When are you two getting married?" and he never ever seems put off; quite the opposite he participates in conversation and talks about having a small wedding...etc.
The other day we were watching TV and a jewelry commercial came on. The couple was getting engaged, and I elbowed him (in a hinting kind of way). The ring showed on the TV and he said "What size?" I thought he meant the carat size so I said, "I don't know, I can't tell" and he said, "No, what size do you wear?"
Needless to say I haven't stopped smiling since then. But now my brain is going non-stop wondering what he would pick out...and I have no idea whether he knows my taste. I mean, I hope he does after almost two years, but what if he picks out something I hate?
So my question is...how do you help him understand your likes/dislikes without coming across as a snot? I don't have anything picked out in my head, but I know what I don't want.
What would you do?
