Ive always wondered about the ring thing, because you want them to have part in it, because they have been thinking about it there whole lives. but that ruins the surprise. you could always do a fake ring with a planned appointment for later though

 

Haha yeah thats the rest of your life! they all have to have something to hang over our heads

 

Thanks, that is just what I was needing to be reminded of...

 

Dude.... EVERY woman is DIFFERENT! No matter who tells you they're all the same.... they are NOT! Granted, you probably could've delivered the idea of "shopping" instead of ring shopping (per say), and she wouldn't have been the wiser. You'll NEVER figure out EVERY woman, likely not even the one you're with. But, picking your statements, choices, and ideas that involve her directly is something that takes a bit of careful thought on delivery. As she put it.... "business" transaction is what you made that situation seem like.

Now.... seems like you're already prepped for "happy wife, happy life"... IE, you know how to apologize, and recognize when you're the king of dumbazzness. ***NEWSFLASH*** Every man has his moment(s)... some more than others! That's just one of life's lessons that sticks with you. As for making it up... doesn't seem to be as bad as one would think. Postpone your anniversary "pop the question" event until later. Think of a special time outside of the expected "special" dates/times like anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Catch her off gaurd after the dust settles, and surprise her at a place & time she wouldn't expect.

Here's an example.... if you're a religious person (if she is as well), and goes to church, here's an idea. Plan ahead to have whomever reads the church announcements mention that a there is a special announcement that someone would like to make. At that same moment, stand up & announce your heart-felt feelings for this woman. Throw in something to the effect that you've been through up & downs, bad and good, and that she's captured your heart... <insert more as needed>. From the time we got together, she's been the only one for you, and that you'd like this to be forever in the eyes of God.... <inesrt more as needed>.

Now... If she's one of those women that likes stuff like that, and is truly IN LOVE with you, you'll have your response before she opens her mouth to say yes.

Good luck!

 

BTW.... if you use that idea.... don't show your significant other this thread. Act like you thought of it!


The above post will self destruct in 24 hours. Read, memorize, improvise!

 

I would take any corvette, note on my toothbrush or on the toilet seat, running or not! lol, just bow your head and repeat after me..."yes dear"

 

****, I'd be happier than a 4 year old at Disneyworld if any woman took me to the Chevy dealer and told me I could have any Corvette I wanted!

 

sux bud, we are different types tho. I am the one that forgets that fukn christmas is coming until its the 24th, then I have to get my mom, lol yes my mom, to go buy her something so I have a gift.
