Search Results: kissing before dating

I dated my girlfriend for over a year and we started dating our senior year in highschool. We broke up during the summer because I was an atheist and she was a religious person, and she didn't think we'd make it work.
After a year apart, she reached out and said she made a mistake and despite the mutual animosity over the break up, we talked things out for more than 5 hours. Something we both came to admire.
We dated for another year, but her family committed her to do a year long mission for the church and she said she wanted to do it after thinking about it for a while.
She spent a month with me before she left, and during which she found a ring I had. She asked what it was, and I told her it was a promise ring I was going to give her before she broke up with me the first time. She didn't know what to say, and said she didn't think I loved her that much then. She said it meant so much to her.
I don't make a lot of money right now, and before she left, I proposed to her with the promise ring, saying I was that serious about her and I wanted to marry her more than anything. She said she'd say yes for real when she came home to me and gave me a kiss.
A few days before she left, she sent me 3 engagement ring ideas.
Does my proposal, and horrible as it was, count as a real one?
