ETA: Fixed the font
My bf and I have our birthdays coming up (they're only 10 days apart) so we were talking about what we wanted for our birthdays. Then we started talking about how to find the perfect gift for people.
Then he said something along the lines of, "so, how does this whole engagement thing work? Is it better to go with your girlfriend to shop or to make it a total surprise?"
His tone sounded innocent enough, but then again he's 30 (so old enough to be seriously considering settling down), our relationship has been fairly consistently good at this point, and we've been looking at apartment complexes together because we're going to move in together once my lease is up (May).
I answered innocently, citing what my friends have done and what my ex and I did before we got engaged (we never got married).
Should I seriously consider this as a possible sign of things to come in the near future? Or should I just consider it an innocent question?
