Not Engaged Yet

I'm going crazy and need a...

B*tchslap. From my last post I mentioned that I'm almost postive bf is proposing this weeked all the signs are there. Expensive brunch, massages, he was checking the weather for that day (he mentioned that the proposal was going to be outside), heard his mom say she has the ring at her house and yadd yadda plus its been 7 months.

I've been ok all week and now I'm falling apart, I keep thinking what if he doesnt propose blahblah, I'll feel so upset blah blah and disapointed and so on...AHH.

See this is where I wished I had NO IDEA about anything. I know in my head hey if its not this weekend what's another few weeks I've already waited 7 months. I gotta think about other stuff. Maybe I need to repeat a mantra in my head or something. Tell me how to deal for the next 36 hours...

    Take deep breaths and relax. The more you think about it and hype up the weekend...the less you will enjoy it. You'll be so anxious and expectant that you won't have fun in the moment. Let go of worrying about the proposal and just enjoy the weekend BF has planned for you (sounds amazing). Most guys wait for the right moment...and if you're stressing out, you might not give him the perfect opportunity he's looking for.

    Focus on other things. Just know that you're going to have a good weekend regardless of whether he proposes or not. You're in control of what you think about and how you deal with it, so just don't give in if you don't want to freak out about it.

    Ok, I can sympathize.  I basically knew FI was going to propose the weekend he proposed.  The thing to remember is that even if you're 100% sure it's going to happen, you're not sure EXACTLY when and HOW it will happen.  So remember to enjoy the weekend for what it is and DON'T think of it as a means to an end.  Enjoy the dinner, the massages, and spending time with your man.  Relax.  Enjoy it.  Be happy.  DON'T think of it as "ZOMG, if this doesn't happen, I'll be SO pissed."  Worst case scenario is the weekend ends and you have a BF who loves you enough to treat you to a romantic weekend of relaxation.  And in the grand scheme of life, is that such a bad thing?

    Deep breaths, stay calm, don't focus on that.  Think of other things.  If you get your hopes up thinking about it, and it doesn't happen, you'll be disappointed.  If you don't think about it, and it happens, it'll be a great surprise.  Focus on the wonderful weekend you're about to spend together and let everything else come as it may.

    Focus on looking forward to/thinking about the fun stuff that you KNOW is happening this weekend, not the stuff you SUSPECT is happening.

    Just think about the fun stuff you know you're going to do, not the "what ifs." Fancy brunch and massages? That sounds like an awesome day!
