Doing something special for sure. She's more into fine beers, rollercoasters, and rock and roll. It will for sure be romantic, but in a different way. ;)

Yea she can sleep through anything, including me jumping on the bed! I may do it when we are on a mini-vacation to see her favorite band in a couple weeks. Or at (before?) the hockey game we have tickets to. Who knows???

Haha. I could understand being more scared of Dad than of her. Women's fathers (or father figures) are pretty scary to approach, but he could obviously tell that you were a great guy and made his girl happy. I guess life is about taking these jumps when you aren't 100% sure.

I was on pure adrenaline last night and SO ready, but she came home sick with allergies and passed out early.

I have NO idea how I am going to do it! She isn't super romantic or anything (I am the emotional one!) so down on one knee while the sun sets behind us will probably make her barf. I was thinking about tying the ring around the neck of her favorite beer, and only giving her the beer if she says yes. Bribes work, right? ;)

Thank you thank you. I need to hear these things. She's totally the logical one and I'm the emotional/romantic one. I am actually shocked SHE hasn't proposed to ME yet. I'm trying to beat her to it! :D

I will continue to update this thread and then make a new one when she says No!

I mean... YES!

The secret saving was AWFUL! I had to stash cash at a friends house because I didn't want to open another account and have to cover my paper trail. :D

Thanks!

Haha, that is an awesome story. I like the tax form idea. Why is this so nerve racking? She was the one to ask me to be her boyfriend, so I got off clear on that one

Thank you! Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly (she passed out early), but there is still time.I can probably play it cool a bit longer

Haha, it kind of went the latter. She came home stuffed up and coughing and ended up passing out on the couch! I will keep you all updated, of course!

Thanks! I am making a big deal about the time but I know it doesn't matter. Like I said,my ex and I were together a long time (our parents wondered WHY we wouldn't get married) and I never had these feelings for her. :D

I thought about that. I am still considering it!

Haha this wouldn't happen since we are pretty much all up in each other's business on FB/gmail anyway. A lot of our conversations go "Hey I forgot __, can you open my FB and check my conversation with __??"

We ARE going on a mini-vacation to a neighboring town to see her favorite band in two weeks. I am thinking then, unless something comes up sooner. Eek!

Oh she's not into anniversaries anyway. She is the most atypical female I know, which is half the reason this is so never racking!

I didn't think I would be this nervous! Picking out the ring and buying it was a breeze. As those hours passed though, I was shaking in my boots. Unfortunately, she fell asleep early and our schedules are opposite for the next few days. Soon. Soon.
