MidwestUSA Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I am sooooo going to propose to her..... I'm thinking the 6-8 months mark. I have enough life/relationship experience to know what I want, and I am certain I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Plus I saw a ring catalog on her nightstand, so I know she feels the same. You are sooooooo going to get blasted for this, LOL! But you sound just like my boyfriend now husband at the one month mark, which was one year ago today. I never beloved in "you'll just know" before him. It exists. 1
Author Phantom888 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 Alright... a little change of plan. She texted me and asked if it's okay that i come over at 10pm (when she gets home from work) because she doesn't want to not see me at all today. I said okay, since I'm only 5 minutes away. I will bring the flowers in person and a bottle of wine. 3
atlg8r Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Personally, I think I'd rather just receive flowers on a random day as a nice gesture than to "celebrate" one month.

Prior to meeting my H., I would have thought our immediate commitment to be crazy retarded and would have advised as such! 4.5 years later, it only gets better. 1

How long did it take the naysayers, the ones who thought you were crazy retarded, to realize the truth? Just curious. 1
tbf Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 How long did it take the naysayers, the ones who thought you were crazy retarded, to realize the truth? Just curious.In real life there weren't any definitive naysayers or at least, anyone who expressed reservations since everyone could see our synergies. On LS, who knows what the initial naysayers are thinking. Haven't really paid much attention.
MidwestUSA Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 In real life there weren't any definitive naysayers or at least, anyone who expressed reservations since everyone could see our synergies. Same here; if anyone was thinking it, they didn't speak. I tend to overthink that ***** tho. Once anyone saw us together, or spoke with one of us, they knew. As for LS, I wasn't here. But I don't think I opened my laptop during that first month anyway! Glad to hear you're among the happy! (Happy, happy, happy!) 1
Babolat Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I would do it, but not roses or anything romantic. Keep it simple. Keep the text on the card short and sweet. I am like you, I like ot give little gives a lot when I am dating or do little things for her. My ex gf brought ME flowers, hand delivered, to work, a few weeks ago (post break up) for my birthday. We were talking then about trying to work things out, but I think she would have done it regardless. I LOVED it. Lots of my colleagues saw her deliver them to me and of course they all had to say something. I use to send her flowers to work but only for special events. She would take a photo of them and text it to me.
Babolat Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Do I win a prize? Yeah, when I read "my girl" after one month of dating some mildly red flags went up. You sound like a great guy; just take it slow; easier said then done I know. 1

I totally agree - especially if you have experience of serious LT relationships before this. I knew within a month that I wanted to marry Wuggle and here we are still together after close to 20 years 3

I knew within a month that I wanted to marry Wuggle and here we are still together after close to 20 years I was married for 12 years, and was dating a lady for almost 3 years. Trust me I know what I seek in a LTR. I know all that honeymoon stuff....and gitty feeling in the beginning. The reason why I know she is THE ONE is because this time it feels completely different.
Imajerk17 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 If you're really this sure you wouldnt need to be posting 23 threads in a month like an emo chic. 2
xxoo Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I was married for 12 years, and was dating a lady for almost 3 years. Trust me I know what I seek in a LTR. I know all that honeymoon stuff....and gitty feeling in the beginning. The reason why I know she is THE ONE is because this time it feels completely different. So you think you aren't in a honeymoon period? Of course you are! That doesn't mean she isn't "the one", or that it won't last. But it won't last exactly like this. Believe me, there are things about this woman that will drive you crazy (and not in the good way) that you don't even know exist yet But that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy the honeymoon period, and that the connection isn't real and that it isn't the beginning of a great love story. Just that you seem a wee bit, um, manic about it with all the threads? And that manic quality of the posts raises some flags moreso than anything else.... 2

Oh im just posting because I don't want to talk about it in real life. It's just more interesting to post.....just like anyone else. BTW, are you a jerk in real life?
Negative Nancy Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 My lady and I will celebrate our 1 month anniversary tomorrow, but she has to work. So we won't see each other till Friday. I really want to send her flowers at her work place. Her boss and coworkers know about our relationship. I am considering sending her a mixed bouquet of nice pretty flowers. Is this appropriate? Ladies, would you mind if your boyfriend of 1 month sent you flowers at your work to commemorate the anniversary? This is how a man acts who is truly in love. :love: 1
Els Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Eh, I think it's totally normal to be head-over-heels crazy, especially in the early stages. The honeymoon phase is called that for a reason. Ain't nothing wrong with that! Definitely think it's a great idea to give them to her in person, since you can manage that. Have fun!
Ninjainpajamas Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I would suggest something less cliche...like, how about a clown...then when she sits on the bed, have it slide out from underneath the bed between her legs and say "Howdy Ho!" or some shet...women loooooooove clowns! trust me, it'll be to die for! Make sure you record it, then you could laugh laugh laugh together on your wedding day about it!

MidwestUSA Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Shhhhh! you love clowns! Okay, but just for the sake of this party. 1
will1988 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 admittedly i did the whole monthly anniversary thing for the first year... it is kind of like "here is a present for sticking with me!" kind of like wining the lottery or something.... woohoo she hasn't dumped me yet kind of thing. However, after the first year the only time i celebrate anniversaries is yearly, on occasion on the 6 month mark... but i do buy random gifts from time to time for no reason, and i do give gifts on xmas, her bday, vday etc... I would say get her one rose, or the cheap dozen you get at walmart or safeway for $10. no need in breaking out the expensive stuff before the year mark. 1
