Re: Speaking+both+as... (Reply to this comment)
by stephs69camaro
Personally materialistic crud does not impress me whatsoever. Happiness and love without reservation is my true hope to find in a man.
There are however people who are like that. When I was engaged to Derrick, one of my male friends proposed to his girlfriend. He bought a 1/2 karat diamond ring and she had the nerve to take him back to the jewlers, return the ring and get him to upgrade it to a 1 karat ring. THEN a few weeks before their wedding she told him he better not even think about getting a wrap for the ring because she was not going to have such a "tiny" ring.
UGGH I about slapped her when he told me that.
They still are together and he's not in a mental institution or anything so I guess that works for him. Me personally, would go CRAZY if I was a guy with a wife like that.
Anyhow, enough rambling for me :o)

Speaking both as... (Reply to this comment)
by Schlamozzel
... a jeweler and a human I have to say that I'm glad the senseless materialistic bunk seems to gone from the proposal issue. Your comments about not being embarrassed about the ring size etc. are indeed refreshing!

4 things I want (Reply to this comment)
by cloverk
I tell everyone what I want and NEED in a proposal (I don't leave it up to chance. This has ensured that it gets back to my boyfriend. By telling my friends what I want, when he asks they won't say "I dunno...."
1. He MUST have the ring.
2. He HAS to get down on one knee.
3. It BETTER be prefaced by "I love you because..." He shouldn't jump into it.
4. It SHOULDN'T be gimmicky, quick, or in front of a huge group of strangers.
On our third date we went to our school's "Friday Night Live" sketch show. In front of 2,000 people one of the performers stopped in the middle and asked another performer to marry him. On his knee breifly,and with a ring. I turned to my date and said, "That was NOT romantic!"

Prerequisite for Proposal 101 is "Finding-the-man-of-your-dreams-101" (Reply to this comment)
by dabo
And if you teach that class, you'll have a lot of ladies signing up. Charge a lot of tuition so you can go on to teach "Living Rich 101" or "Building Your Dream House 101".
Good luck. If I were single, I'd probably pay more attention in your class. I might even want to take the practical.

My Proposal (Reply to this comment)
by dakoda101
I stood up from the couch and walked into my bedroom. After a few minutes, I walked back into the living room with With backpack and said, "This gift has a few different parts, so bear with me."From my bag I pulled out a cone shaped, lavender hat with a piece of lace on the top. And I asked, "Do you know what this is?" she said i have no clue what it was... a hat? What would I do with a purple hat? So with a little half cocked smile I said, "No, not really." I replied, "This is the type of hat that princesses wear." And I walked towards her and placed it on her head. then bent down and pulled a little, tutu like skirt out of his bag and I asked, "Do you know what this is?" Once again she said no. And i said, "This is the type of clothes that princesses wear. Do you know what else princesses have?" I replied, "One of those wavy things?" "Yes," I said, "a wand." And I handed her a shiny, silver wand with a star on the top. She really had no clue what was happening, so I just giggled. "Princesses are always surrounded by sweet things," I said and bent over to pull a box of chocolates from my backpack. I then asked, "Do you know what else Princesses have?" She replied, "Flowers?" I said, "No, not flowers... a prince." And I got down on one knee, pulled a box out of my backpack, opened the box to display the Princess cut diamond ring and said, "Will you be my princess?" She just started squealing, "Yes, yes, yes..." And that is how she became a princess.
just a little thing that i did .. then 2 months later we split .. but anyway .. just wanting to share my proposal ..

Re: Proposal+101:++a+corrollary... (Reply to this comment)
by stephs69camaro
lol.. true...some might enjoy being proposed in a urine-stenched alley....
But, a lot of us girls (mainly the ones that refer to ourselves as a princess) still enjoy the "fairy tale" proposals and even cry when we watch such shows as "Wedding Story" on TLC.
I also think that proposing at work is not necessarily a bad thing. You would get the element of suprise in there, not to mention that its always nice to get a suprise vist to your work from your boyfriend. Kind of makes your day a little brighter....
Thanks for your comment!!

Proposal 101: a corrollary... (Reply to this comment)
by Tibullus
There is also something to be said for the anti-romantic place. Instead of having the romance provided for you, you can go out and make that extra effort and provide the romance yourself. Sure, everyone will say "oooooh" and "ahhhh" when you tell them how he proposed to you under starlight on the beach... but people will never forget when you tell them that he proposed to you in a back alley behind a movie theater, which stank of urine and you were applauded by the three bums who were making up their new house from a refrigerator box!!!
Or... better yet... a surprise at work (what could be more unromantic than work, unless you work together and it becomes romantic... but by definition, its not quite the romantic place)...
OK, I jest... I'll admit it... but there is something to be said for making the romance than having it ready made for you...
(great review overall, though)

ok, so i've passed 101, when is 201? (Reply to this comment)
by mattjoe
I used the romantic dinner followed by the:
"beach during ....a star filled and moonlit night after a walk."
in the bahamas.
And still got a "I can't right now answer."
So, I'm going to have to top that one if I get another chance with the same lovely lady.
So, I look forward to the next class.
