RE: How To Get Your Boyfriend To Propose!
As a male, who has been engaged once before (I proposed) - this is a challenging post to read. That relationship crumbled due to the tyranny of distance (it was a very long distance relationship) - I might write about it someday!
I'm in a long term relationship at the moment where we've bought a house together, and I can't imagine myself going anywhere, or my partner going anywhere.
As an atheist, I see marriage as an institution of the church, and for all intents and purposes, being in a defacto relationship the length of my current one is in a legal sense, the same as being married as far as it comes to assets, next of kin, etc.
We don't want kids, but we do want to spend the rest of our lives together. In a selfish way, I'm waiting for the right moment so that we can have something really lavish as a wedding, even though I'd rather do something impulsive in a registry office.
I've put a lot of thought into the proposal already; just don't tell my partner! (She's not active on Steemit, but has an account!)
Wow ! I love this. I agree I'm also Atheist, but I love the thought of a non religious wedding, But something fun and memorable.
I love the thought of being able to "celebrate" the relationship.
I love your mindset on all of this :) And I'm glad you are thinking about proposing! Thats so exciting hehe You should write about it when you do!
I really feel like I want to hire a hall and have boardgames for everyone as our wedding reception.
For the honeymoon, I want to buy an old, beat up ute(pick up truck for those in the states) and drive around the country, with no particular destination in mind. Maybe a month or two.
To me, like a good book / story, novel; proposals should have something to do with something significant, and going back to the roots, like the place of a frist kiss, first date, or something sappy like that.
OMG I Love that! A month or two sounds incredible as a honeymoon! You better blog about this stuff when you do it hehe.
I Love that sappy look at it! I think thats the best way of doing it! It makes it all the more memorable.
Definitely will be doing so. I miss going out and photographing things other people would ignore. A trip out to the middle of nowhere, stopping every 47 kilometres (or another "random" distance) and taking an impactful photograph of a space in time is something I'd love to do.
As I get older, I realise more and more that time is the most valuable thing that people have got, and those who are willing to spend it with you are those that you should keep closest. BRB, going off to surprise hug my partner.
Her parents have already been asked permission in the traditional sense. She's doomed.
