"So, ladies who are waiting for engagement rings, tell me&amp;amp;#133; She looks like she&amp;#x27;s going to wring his neck if she doesn&amp;#x27;t get a proposal soon. Why is the time right for a proposal for you? There were so many reasons why I was ready to get engaged, but here are my top five: I was one-million percent sure that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Paul. I fully understood what it meant to be in a totally committed relationship--and I loved everything about it. We had been dating for ten, count &amp;amp;#8216;em, ten years. Being his girlfriend didn&amp;amp;#8217;t seem like enough anymore. We had some savings for the first time ever, which could be applied to throwing a kick-ass party. I wanted to get this whole &amp;amp;#8220;rest of my life&amp;amp;#8221; started already! Those were my main motivations for hoping (and praying and wishing and dreaming about) getting a proposal. But I know we all have different reasons for wanting to get engaged. For my grandparents, for instance, being engaged was the only way their parents would allow them to go on vacation together! (Silly, but it worked out--they&amp;amp;#8217;re still together 62 years later.) Why are you hoping to get engaged now? Why is this time better than the past for a proposal? Do you think some ladies want to get engaged for the wrong reasons? More About Getting Engaged Will You Still Hang Out With Your Single Guy Friends Alone Once You&amp;amp;#8217;re Engaged?
