Setting the record straight

Good evening Knotties !!! Well my experience on here has been very entertaining to say the least . i thought that I would clear the air and maybe the confusion would stop and this can turn out to be a positive experience after all.  i originally posted on the " Not engaged yet board " not  knowing that , that wasn't the right place to make my post .  i am engaged to my FI of 2.5 years , but I haven't received my ring as of yet. I wanted us to set a date without sounding  like i was pressuring him  . Long story short some of the comments threw me for a loop sort of speak . I was only asking how to go about it without sounding like a nag . I can talk to him about everything and this is  a subject that i considered "delicate" and wanted to approach it the right way .  I then sat down and realized that I already knew how to go about it . I talked it over with him and we set a date ,hence the title of my second post .My last post was directed to the women who insulted  me and wasn't me whining or telling on them . I just wanted advice and a got more than what I bargained for . I'm not looking for sympathy at all just understanding . This was a learning experience .  And next time I know what I should and should not keep to myself.

    No its not what you think just my way of letting go and moving forward . Nothing more nothing less . Trust me I have had enough.
  • Starla, I'm going to be honest with you: the easiest way to integrate yourself into the community is to stop creating posts like this and start just replying on threads you think you can help out with. Be prepared to be set straight if you give bad advice though.

    That being said, please please please start lurking and getting a feel for the boards so you can see how things work. Each board has its own regulars and its own vibe and you would know that if you just took the time to figure ish out before you write more posts like this.

    Hmmm. Ok.  I don't see much different in this post than the accumulation of your previous posts. So, I'm not sure how you are righting a wrong.  But, good luck with that.

    So you haven't enjoyed the last 2.5 years of your supposed engagement?

    You've backpedaled so hard during all of this that I'm surprised you even have heels on your feet anymore.

    Considering the title of your very first post was "So in love and not engaged yet" I'm willing to bet that you aren't actually engaged at all OR you're a very, very confused person.

    I don't even know where to begin. Starla I'm also thinking your a troll because you can't keep your facts straight. First you're not engaged, then you've been engaged for 2.5 years and finally you're getting married in 2015 so you have time to "enjoy" your engagement. 2.5 years isn't enough?  So what's the truth?  You don't even seem to know.  Therefore I'm issuing you an official warning. Stop trolling the boards. My trigger finger is itching.

    If you are in fact real stop creating AWish post like this. You keep getting responses like this because you are asking for the attention. The best way to become acclimated is to lurk and just start posting in other people's post.  I promise if you so this people will forget all about this.

  • OP, I wasn't going to comment. I didn't comment on your other posts either. But, the fact that you keep coming back, tells me you have a problem.

    Your first problem was that you came onto the NEY board, said that you are so in love, but not engaged yet. Your next post you turned everything around, that you are engaged, your third post was that you have a date set. (I sure hope I have that all correct since there were several posts made by you).

    When someone told you that if you wanted a certain place in Houston to get married you better reconsider February 2014 due to that being Valentines and that particular place being booked out 3 years, so now imagine that, you have February 2015. That is convenient.

    So, what is the real story here? I did read every single post of yours. Quite entertaining too if I may add.

     

  • 2 years is a long time to wait to get married solely because you are waiting on the date you want to be available. Is that the only reason why you are waiting until 2015 to get married?

    As an English teacher, I am highly trained to decipher the ramblings of young people (even though she is 31). In Starla's original post on NEY, she said she was with her guy for 2.5 years. So I think when she says "my fiance of 2.5 years," she means the person she has been with, who is now her fiance, for 2.5 years. I do not think she means that she has been engaged to him for that whole time. 

    Starla, a couple people, including the person in charge of this board, have told you that the best way to join this community is to join in on other threads. Let us get go know you by just becoming part of the conversations. You are not helping yourself by continuing making these threads. If you want a fresh start, you need to stop calling attention to your misake. 

    Only a fool trips over what is behind him.

    Commas are iffy too. But it does seem very trollish since she keeps starting posts to say the exact same thing.
  • Just apologize and move on if you really want to clear the air. Posts like this don't actually clear the air at all. But congrats on setting your date. I suggest if venues fill up quickly, book your venue then take a breather for another year.

    Seriously. Remember the girl who was practically a pro? She posted about not feeding guests, trashed all our venues collectively, started drinking in the middle of the thread, and talked about serving food out of body fridges in a morgue.

    Sigh, I really liked her. She was like an amusement park ride without the safety restraints. AND she was creative.

    I usually lurk. However, the bolded part doesn't make sense. Actually, none of it does but the bolded part makes the least amount of sense. If you saw that the title of a board was "Not Engaged Yet" what would make you think that would be the right place to put your post if you were engaged? Weird.

    Anyway, I'll go back into hiding/lurking now. She's definitely a troll. You've got to put some effort into spacing your periods like that.
