I was going to buy my man a really nice necklace as an engagement present. Instead, we decided on a really nice diamond wedding band.
Rings cost a lot of money.
I have been wanting to ask my girlfriend for a while, and if money was not a problem I would have already. I had to secure financing, wait for the money to be placed into my account, find the right stone, find the right ring, and mangae to squeeze in work and time with my girlfriend. When she did ask when it was going to happen, I would just tell her within the next 6 months. You are not supposed to know when your boyfriend is going to pop the question. It should be a suprise.
