i think my boyfriend bought a ring?

Stop thinking about it and let whatever is going to happen, happen naturally.

I agree. Before he proposed, every time we took a trip or received a small package at the door, I would think he was about to propose. It took him 2 years but I’m glad I didn’t pressure him bc he took me in a helicopter to look at Christmas lights to propose. Had I obsessed about it, it wouldn’t have been as special & surprising. It’s hard. I know!!!! Just don’t think about it! 😊

I’m the kind of person to look for little details like this too. Maybe he bought a ring or maybe he didn’t. But I’ve known many girls whose boyfriends bought a ring and didn’t give it to them until six months or a year later, or who told them they bought a ring and actually didn’t. Why men do this I don’t know. My husband proposed nine months after I thought he was going to, which was 3 months before he originally wanted to. It was a huge source of anxiety and tension. Obsessing over this will make you ill so if there’s any way for you to let it go and wait patiently, do it.

Are you able to see if anything was purchased?

And another question when you set it up did you use your Google account to sign up?

It's strange, it doesn't show that anything was purchased but I don't know how our address with his name would've been saved to my account. I'm honestly more curious about that than whether he actually bought anything, haha! I've had my Etsy account for years, I think from before when I had my current Google account.

You can drive yourself crazy thinking about if he did or not. Just go with the flow. If anything, you can always propose to him. It's 2020. Some rules can be broken. Honestly, my now husband and I got engaged because we were having a discussion about the next few years of our lives. We decided mutually that marriage should be part of that and then we were engaged. No ring. No flashy proposal. I didn't feel any less engaged. He gave me a ring later on, but it wasnt necessary honestly. I say this just to say that you do not need to be passive in this process. If you want to get engaged, you have the power to lead that conversation as well.

I recommend you don’t fish into it too much because if he did, you may ruin the surprise.

Maybe he added it there in preparation for it to happen. I know the feeling you’re going thru though where you’re anticipating and hoping. It becomes like torture sometimes though when you get disappointed :/ but as pp said it’ll happen, might not be WHEN you want but it’ll happen

View Quoted Comment I agree....

Itll happen if its supposed to...good luck

Like PPs said - it will happen when it’s supposed to. My husband and I designed my ring together, I knew when it was supposed to be ready and he STILL waited a few weeks to propose once he picked up the ring.

Try to relax! I literally cried to my boyfriend (now fiancé) the night before we got engaged (he had the ring in his pocket but wanted to wait for more privacy) because I felt like he was never going to ask. I totally regret doing that because it just made him upset to see me crying and he was half-tempted to ruin the surprise to make me happy. I’m glad he didn’t because I was totally caught off-guard the next day. Don’t rush things! You have to remember that while it’s a major moment for you, it’s even more nerve-racking for the guy. They should propose when they’re ready! Don’t sweat it, just relax and let things happen naturally.
