I am pretty dissapointed right now. My boyfriend and I went to the mall today and I thought he was being a little weird about trying to stop me from coming along. But I have had the flu (yes in the middle of summer) for the last 4 days and was finally feeling better and needed to shop. He was on one side of the mall and I was on the other. When I finished I went to find him and happened to see him inside the jewelery store where we had looked at a ring a few months ago. They were handing him a bag and he was turning to leave. I don't know if he knows that I saw. I pretended like I hadn't seen anything anything and acted normal. I feel really bad about my timing and ruining the surprise. I was suppose to be in Mexico this weekend but couldn't go because I was sick so he probably had already planned to pick it up today and then didn't know what to tell me when I wanted to come along. I guess I still don't technically know when he will pop the question but we are going on vacation next week and I have a feeling he will do it then. Did anyone else find out their boyfriend had a ring when they weren't suppose to? I'm trying not to let it bring me down, I really would have liked to be totally surprised. Oh well...

    Playing devil's advocate here, but how do you know it was a ring he was picking up?

    I haven't been in your situation, so I can't really offer much advice other than what I think I would want to hear. The proposal itself will still be a surprise! :) Even if you knew exactly what the ring looked like, you have no idea how or when he's planning to actually ask! IMO the moment he asks would be fun part over the ring. Just relax and enjoy your vacation, it will be fun and special whether that's when he asks or not! Smile

    Where are you going on vacation? (living vicariously through you, as I have no vacation prospects in sight!)

    My husband and I actually got into an argument the day he went to pick up my ring. I wanted to carpool and then go grocery shopping together. He said he wanted to go grocery shopping alone. I said that was a waste of gas, since we were going the same direction (I was going to volunteer).

    Normally I volunteer ALL DAY on saturdays, but that particular week it was cancelled and I just needed to go for an hour to make sure anyone who showed up knew we wouldn't be there. I thought he and I could just spend the whole day together. But, he'd made other plans (to get my ring!).

    Once he said "OKAY! I am NOT going grocery shopping, and you can NOT come!" I realized what was going on and got SO embarassed! I decided to convince myself he was NOT getting an engagement ring, but must be shopping for a birthday present (my birthday was the following week).

    My advice to you is convince yourself he was buying earrings or a necklace or a gift for his mom or just anything else at all. Yes, okay, so you're 99.99% sure it's an engagement ring. So what? There's a chance it's not... so let yourself be surprised! Expect something simple and NOT a proposal. Let it surprise you!

    "It's a bracelet. It's a bracelet. It's a bracelet."

    See? It's working already! Laughing

    Most of all, ENJOY THIS TIME. You'll be in the thick of wedding planning before you know it. Have fun with the anticipation and uncertainty and crazy-blissfulness. It will be over so quickly. Cherish every second leading up to THAT MOMENT.

    I knew when my FI had the ring.  However, keep in mind that many guys take months to propose after picking up the ring.  Don't get your hopes up and just enjoy your relationship.  When he is ready it will happen!
