Seriously, this is getting old! lol. I've had at least 3 people I know a month get engaged this summer. I guess everyone is just feeling the love? I know that right now is not the best time for BF and I to get engaged, and I'm over it, but everytime I see someone's status change, my heart drops a little!

    I know 7 people engaged right now, and that doesn't include FB friends from hs or college that I don't really talk to anymore. If I included them it would be over 10 people. The engagements are running rampant!

    If it's not the best time to get engaged, it's not the best time to get engaged.  FFS, it's not a race.

    I am aware it's not a race, and I am also aware of the fact that if it's not the time, it's just not. All I was saying was it seems to be an epidemic right now.

    Agreed rdr. In just my family alone, my cousin (we grew up more like sisters) and my only brother are both engaged. Then you start adding in my close friends and facebook people and you're easily in the double digits.

    It didn't sound to me like you were racing to get engaged. You know that it's not the right time for you, which is huge. The status changes are just a reminder of what you're not ready for right now.

    I know the feeling it seems like a lot of people I know are getting engaged.  At least you recognize it's not  a good time for you guys and it will happen someday when the time is right!

    I'm actually surprised that I don't know anyone else that's engaged right now.  LOL.

    But hey, look at it this way, at least you will have lots of fun weddings to attend soon :)

    I've lost count of the people I know who are engaged. I just went to a wedding on Saturday, my good friend from high school got married yesterday, and BF's friend from high school just proposed to his girlfriend on Sunday (I think, it could've been Monday). Sometimes I feel small pangs of jealousy but I'm truly happy for everyone who is at their point in their lives. BF and I aren't but when it's our time I expect all of them to be every bit as happy for us as we are for them.

    But it doesn't sound like you really need advice, just keep reminding yourself that when you do get engaged you will be glad you did it in your own time.

    I'm in the minority on my Facebook feed! Only my cousin and a close friend are engaged right now, plus me. I'm low-key about it, as is my cousin. But my friend is...well, not being a bridezilla, but she's constantly flooding my feed with pictures of hairstyles and wedding dresses and talking about wedding music. It's driving me a little nuts - they haven't even set a date yet.

    I'm with you there buggle2. My B/F and I haven't gotten engaged yet (i've been waiting since we went engagement ring shopping in February so he could get an idea on what i like) and I'm just sitting here waiting (TRYING to be patient) and waiting and waiting and meanwhile all these girls around me are getting engaged and married and having more children. Ugh It SUCKS. I have green eyes and they're flaring up massively right now and I HATE feeling that way because don't get me wrong I love my life, but I'm READY for marriage and more children (as is my b/f) but the finances are what always gets in the way for us right now so we're forced into this waiting game (and no my ring isn't causing a problem with that, that's WELL within budget since I opted for a Moissanite ring rather than an expensive blood diamond). I'm happy for everyone but jeez when's gonna be my turn? These people are all YOUNGER than me too which is the REALLY frustrating part!!!
