I want to propose to my girlfriend of 9 years on Valentines day, but I don't know if now is the right time.
Background:
She broke up with me after Thanksgiving - she was a bit stressed out and confused about the relationship and the future. We got back together 3 weeks ago, and things seem to be full steam ahead. She is 24, I am 27 and she is graduating from college in May. She did date another guy from the time we broke up until the time we got back (she was still technically seeing him when we reconciled) When we got back together, she definately said that the "future" was part of what made her realize that she wants me in her life - that and we genuinely care for each other and have a really strong bond mentally, emotionally and physically.
She is a wonderful girl; the love of my life, and I know she feels the same. I just don't want to overwhelm her and cause a big distraction leading up to Graduation. At the same time, something inside me is saying that if I don't ask her now, we're just going to continue being boyfriend and girlfriend and the relationship may stagnate and make a turn for the worse. I get the feeling that her insecurity about what is immediately going to happen to her when she gets out of college is weighing on her as much if not more than OUR future. Its kind of strange. (I know it stresses ME out anyways! :D ) I know everything about her... but this next progression in our relationship is much more tricky than anything I've ever dealt with. I want her to have some independence when she leaves college (like renting her won apartment for a year or so) but I don't want to keep the proposal of marriage hanging out there as some type of reward for her accomplishing things in her life... I think if there is one thing I did wrong up to now is that I half-joked with her alot with the insinuation that graduating was a pre-requisite for marriage. I don't regret the fact that I made her focus on school and preparing for a future, but I really think that I overdid the whole 'reward' aspect of a marital future.
Sorry for being so long winded, but I would certainly appreciate some input.

Jenna CA | Posted at 6:30pm on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 | Why can't we all be as lucky to find someone to love and who loves us back unconditionally. I praise you for following your hearts and falling in love with your soul mate no matter who they may be, male, female, black, white, hispanic etc. It shouldnt matter as long as you find your true love. Good luck to you all! |

confusedgirl ny | Posted at 3:27am on Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | i have for anyone who might be able to figure guys out. i was at a company function and met a coworker. i secretly think he is cute but never told him. he has known me for awhile but we never talked like this before. i was a little drunk so i told him about my life, my previous relationship and how i was sad about what had happened in my life. he consoled me and then we went outside the building and he kissed me! i was so drunk that i barely remember it. then i left and went back to my life. later i called him because someone at work asked who the guy was that i was dancing with at the function. i then remembered and wanted to find out what exactly happened so i called him. i said that i was sorry for whatever i had said to him and that i can barely remember what had happened. then i asked him if something had happened between us and he that not to worry nothing happened. why did he lie? do you think he thought i was embarrassed of him,or did he say that because he didn't really like me? or maybe because he didn't want me to worry? can anyone give me insight as to what could have been going on in his mind? |
Liz Location unknown | Posted at 3:35pm on Monday, November 10th, 2008 | Keeping straight for the nation? Really? I can't believe there's so many ignorant people that exist. I was married under prop 8 (0r prop HATE) with a partner the past 5 months, I've been with for 10 years. It's ignorant people like this that have caused me to lose that marriage legally.
Go screw yourselves. |

Cat Pat Home | Posted at 5:50am on Sunday, November 9th, 2008 | I really don't see why ppl have a problem with same sex relationships.... I have some acquaintances that are gay and I really resent anyone who is against that and say that its wrong to other people... Keep your personal opinions to yourself... |
melanie school | Posted at 2:40pm on Friday, November 7th, 2008 | i think that you are disgusting!

I'M KEEPING IT STRAIGHT FOR THE NATION. |
