I am a beach lifeguard. I don't know much about mechanics. I do karate as a hobby. I have been in karate for a few years. I am in a relationship but we have no kids yet. I have a girlfriend that I want to propose to. I'm planning to surprise her with a big event. I love horror movies. I want to learn about cars since it might be handy.
I have been sober for over a year now. I own Mark's Mechanic and More. I fix cars and paint them. I do not race cars. I inherited the shop from my dad. My dad was a big drinker too. I read baby books. We are expecting a baby. I feel stressed. I have a wife. I like movies that involve speeding cars.
I'm going to start shopping for a ring next week. Woooooo! That is extremely exciting. Does she have any idea? Of course not! I have been trying my very hardest to keep it a secret. I need it to be a surprise for her. I have been saving up for a ring for quite some time now, but I'm not sure what to get yet. I had it easy. My wife basically told me what to get. Maybe you can ask one of her friends if she's brought it up? That's not a bad idea. I know she would prefer something simple, probably, but her best friend probably knows better than I do! I don't make a lot of money as a lifeguard, but cost really isn't a problem for me. That's the route you should go. Great that she is getting something simple. When will you propose? Her birthday is in a few months, and I was thinking of having a surprise party with all her friends and family there. I figured that could be a good night to do it, but I still haven't decided on HOW I'm going to do it. Yeah, that's the tough part. Maybe something simple for that too? Yeah, I know with her, to never over-do things. She doesn't like too much attention, or hype. She's a simple girl who likes the simple things in life, and that's what I love about her. She never makes it too hard for me!  That's perfect then. Do a one knee simple proposal. She'll love it. Will you two try to get married quickly or will there be a long planning period? I don't want to rush it. We've only been together 3 years still, and I figure there is still a lot we are learning about each other. I think an engagement  would be a good test of our relationship, and might even bring us even closer together planning a wedding! I am confident that she will say yes.
