I remember the half day I spent walking around with an engagement ring in my pocket. It was insured but I was so nervous that I'd screw up and lose a stupid expensive ring. Anyone dumb enough to do the proposal on a dock with a child holding it deserves what they get.
Said I was never getting married , so I've only done it once. Been married almost 20 years now but I was clueless about the ring. Mom finally told me the best advice: Just get a plastic ring out of a gumball machine and let her pick her own engagement ring. That's a LOT harder than it sounds, I had to run all over the Myrtle Beach SC area to find a store with the machines. Wife still has it somewhere.I remember the half day I spent walking around with an engagement ring in my pocket.

Shit. Ive been in multiple relationships where "she" wanted to get married and would show me rings that she liked constantly. "What do you think of this one?" etc. A couple that I wish I would have asked in hindsight, but thats besides the point. Did she have a strange look on her face before you explained? Did you talk it out before asking her? I've never been married, so that whole situation gives me anxiety, ha!Said I was never getting married , so I've only done it once.
