Silly Little Question!?

Question

I recently found out that my boyfriend plans to propose this Christmas. I found this out through a variety of ways. One, I dropped off his jacket to the dry cleaners. I checked the pockets to make sure nothing was in there. I found a receipt for a very large sum of money. Two, his mother has been commenting on "moving in together" and "making future plans". This is very different from anything she's ever said before. Three, I over heard my future sister-in-law talking about someone getting engaged and Christmas. But, she didn't say who. She invited me to her house and said, "when you get her, just come in, you don't have to ring the door bell. I'm going to be in the kitchen."

So, I did just like she said. When I walked in, she stopped her phone conversation and said she had to hang up. It was apparent I caught her talking about something, she didn't want me to hear.

I'm very excited!!!! Does anyone know how I should prepare for this? I know it's a silly little question. My friend (I was excited and had to tell someone), said I should buy myself a special outfit to wear on Christmas Eve and treat myself to a manicure.

I was thinking about doing it. But, then I felt silly about doing it. I felt like I was getting all excited and acting like a love-struck teenager. So, what do you think? Should I treat myself to a very nice (and tad bit expensive) Christmas outfit and a manicure? Or am I being silly?

Answer 1

Well one, don't get your hopes up. Though it sounds like he will, you NEVER want to expect it. Just act normal, dress cute like you would for any Christmas dinner and chill. It will come when it comes, though you are super excited to find out a head of time, just don't get your hopes up, that always adds to the jitters and makes time go by a lot slower.

How cute! I love proposal stories. My now fiance proposed this summer and I knew it was going to happen cuz we picked out the ring together but just wasnt sure when. So I also talked to a friend and asked her if I should dress up whenever I go out with him and she said no. She said that in the event that he didnt end up proposing, I'd feel horrible but I didnt care because I wanted to be dressed up nicely just in case he did pop the question. Everytime he'd call and say he wants to go out for dinner, I'd try my hardest to look good, whether it meant nice jeans and a cute top, or even a casual summer dress. But days kept going by and he still hadnt proposed. So when we were going to take a wonderful day trip to an island, I thought this is it. So I brought my camera and got all glamoured up, hair done, makeup, cute summer dress. He had sooooo many amazing chances, with gorgeous and romantic views, secluded areas and I was shocked siince he still didnt propose LOL. So i was just getting frustrated and asked him whats up and he said he was looking for the perfect moment. So when he finally did propose, I knew he was going to because he called and said, ok I made some plans so be ready on time. So I wore this semi-formal summer dress. It was a bit poofy yet still had a casual feel to it. I wore it with heels and did my hair and makeup. Even my nails. And as I thought, he finally proposed! We were able to take a few nice photos and I'm happy I dressed up because it just really fit the occasion, plus we went out to dinner to celebrate afterwards. So after this loooong story, my point is dress up!!! If you know when its going to happen and want to be ready then have your nails done, you can always do it at home to save money and wear something nice. Chances are you'll want pictures of the moment and when you look back at them, you'd rather like to see yourself nice and glammed up of course. So have fun with it. Since it will be xmas, you can wear a semi- formal dress, maybe a sweater dress to fit the season with boots or tights. Or you could do some nice pants and a nice top or sweater. Congrats hun and have a blast!!

My mom knew about my upcoming engagement last Christmas. So she gave me my Christmas early, a new winter coat and a new dressy top - she wanted me to make sure I had it because "you never know what you and your bf will do while you are there." (my fiance lives 14 hrs away. She was sneaky sneaky! But I was so sure he would propose other times earlier in the year that I did not get a manicure for Christmas - silly me, wish I had! So I would get one, and new clothes are fun! Just don't let him pick up on your suspicion. Have fun!

Answer 4

I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise for your boyfriend - do you want to look like you are expecting something like that by being all prepared with a new outfit and perfectly manicured hands?



What if it isn't you that is going to be proposed to?



I would wear you favourite outfit you already own

Answer 5

I say go for it cuz when my hubby proposed to me we where in Vegas just kinda sightseeing and i had my hair in a ponytail with no make up in a Raiders tshirt and jeans lol so the pictures of when we got engaged i dont like lol.

Answer 6

Yeah girl go for it! OMG I'm so excited for you and I don't know you! All the signs are there and you should feel excited! Good Luck and look extra hot that day, there may be pictures taken and all that stuff.

Answer 7

Sure! Get yourself a nice outfit for Christmas and let the moment happen. : )

Answer 8

Definately. Nice doesn't have to be expensive. You know the family will be taking pictures, so it's great to be prepared.

Answer 9

Yep ... treat yourself. I always get dressed up nice for the holidays. If he happens to not propose ... it shouldn't look weird that you look beautiful for xmas!
