How did you know your partner was going to propose or was it a surprise?

i think my boyfriend is planning to propose soon, he keeps dropping hints. Did you know when you were going to get engaged?

My boyfriend (now my husband) actually proposed to me on Christmas Day 2017 without showing or giving any hints or inklings whatsoever.

It transpired that both families were well and truly in on the act but were sworn to absolute secrecy.

Naturally over the years of living together we had talked and discussed this in depth, and had totally agreed that it was something we both wanted and desired, but had no set time to make it official.

To say it was a surprise beyond belief would be a vast understatement.

We got married the following Nov. 2018

He proposed on Christmas morning after asking my father for my hand. So quaintly chivalrous, but I loved it. Of course, I said yes.

We had discussed marriage, so I thought he would propose sometime. I knew we were moving in that direction. The timing was a complete surprise. We were married the following April.

What makes you think he is going to?

I'm single and don't want to get married

[Asker]

He keeps talking about it as if he’s planning it

[Apple1996]

He didn't propose. We just agreed that we wanted to get married

He didn’t propose he just told his mom about me sent her my pictures and asked for my ring size

Well, I hate myself for it but I proposed.

[Asker]

Why do you hate yourself for it?

[TacosRAwesome]

I only did it to make him happy and it makes me feel like I wasn't enough. And the proposal itself was shit.

He kind of surprised me.
