  This is such a cliche line, but it's so true: your life has ALREADY started with him.

  Slow your roll.  Enjoy the anticipation of your engagement.  Your lives together have already started.

  Yeah our lives have already started together. Don't know why I put that line. LOL. 

  
  

  The  thing with enjoying the anticipation of my impending engagment is a little hard for me. I have generalized anxiety disorder so I never do well with anticipation. I do love the tingling feeling of what is going to happen but I can't help but constantly think about it . 

  
  

  So if you guys have any tips to help with that, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

  Hmmm...
  
  Well, newbs go in steps:
  1.) Be uber uber excited and want to plan a wedding before engaged and/or impatient and pestering BF with ultimatums, long talks, timelines etc. to presure BF.
  
  2.) Become happy and confident in current relationship status.  Relax, enjoy life with BF and put on patient pants.
  
  You are already at step two.  Now, just tell us some more about yourself.

  So basically should I just forget about worrying about stopping my anticipation and just let myself enjoy it and anticipate it? I don't know. I'm not one of those girls who has been looking at wedding stuff and planning everything already. So I don't see myself as too eager. Haha. 

  
  

  But I am terribly excited about marrying him and spending the rest of my life with him.

  Generalized anxiety disorder is becoming more and more prevalent these days - that being said, don't hype yourself up too much
  
  The proposal will come when it comes.
  
  I'd probably slap my mom if she was hinting about a proposal after 6 months though.  I'd talk to her and tell her to chill out.

  Blue: I have talked to my mom. She's just being like this because her and my dad had only dated three months when he popped the question. So she is on edge waiting for me to come home with a ring on my finger. It's funny, my mom wants us to be engaged already while his mom thinks we're moving way too fast and wants us to take it easy.

  i'm in Harford, but moving to Cecil in May and orginally from PA too.   You seem more normal than most noobs, including myself when I first started posting.  Enjoy the relationship.  Also I believe mothers are the number one cause of BSC... mine included.

  Mana: Thanks! I had hoped I was normal, I've been telling myself for years I was crazy, lol. I probably really am crazy though. 

  
  

  Oh and what does BSC mean? I'm not up to all the "code words" yet. LOL. I got PIP but BSC I still don't get.

  Bat Shiit Crazy.  It is in reference to girls who are so crazy about getting engaged that they plan weddings before they get engaged, behind BFs back, pressure BF.  Basically, what I listed as #1 on my other post.
  
  I'm not really articulate today.  I need to go back to bed.

  Okay thanks! My mom's not that far gone yet but she still hints. I think it drives my BF more crazy than it does me. Truth is I think once we do get engaged she won't be as bad, it'll be his mom that'll go BSC.

  Hi Kayley,

   

  I’m 23 and from Maryland as well and BF and I are moving to Bmore this summer when I start Med school.

   

  You should listen to these ladies, they are wise. You will be plenty excited about your engagement without making yourself anxious about it beforehand.

   

  Oh, and what is your opinion on wine, roller derbies, and board games?

  This is an exciting time.  Try to enjoy it without getting too wrapped up in it.
  
  The rest of the girls on here can attest to the fact that I was pretty much obsessed with my BF's upcoming proposal for a few months.  In all honesty, I nearly ruined it for myself.  Learn from my mistakes and just relax.

  It sounds like your BF wants to propose when you aren't expecting it, and he feels as if you are expecting it right now.  I could be totally wrong though, but that is what I gathered from your post.
  
  Enjoy being BF/GF, it's a SUPER cute stage in all relationships and should be given respect as such.  Have fun, enjoy it.  Don't spend most of your time wanting to move past it.  As for your mom, I totally understand what you are going through.  My BF and I are not engaged, but my mom is already bugging us about having kids! She even called me up and told me she almost bought something for my daughter! There isn't even a guarantee that i will HAVE a daughter!   Silly moms!!!!

  amysbot: I'm actually not expecting a proposal right now. I know one day he'll ask me and I'm okay with that. I just want him to do it when he's ready. He told me he would marry me tomorrow if he could. I really enjoy being his girlfriend and in the stage of just being BF/GF because we will never get that back when we get engaged.
