Not got a date as yet no. We dont want a big wedding but we do want to get our debts paid before we add the wedding to em! We're getting there tho so hopefully it wont be too long. I'd like to be married before we have kids and thats planned for sometime in the next few years!
We actually got engaged outside our local hospital, as my fella had one severe asthma attack, and I almost lost him that day. So when he proposed, I was too happy that he was ok to mind about when it would happen!
I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never ever gonna keep me down :D

aww bless! that's lovely! i like engagement stories like that, rather than something like "i got down on one knee in a restaurant"...

also, i just need to state that i'm going insane, i was proud about how well i've been dealing with the boy, but after spending 8 hours in his company today i've realised that perhaps i've fallen for him a little too much, given the circumstances.

bugger...i'm setting myself up for a mighty big fall methinks!

He wasn't quite well enough to do the down on one knee thing, he still had a line in his arm so they could inject asthma curing steroids right into him! He was sat on a fence and just said "marry me". I almost went insane with joy. I thought he was mad or high on the oxygen he'd been given! Once I'd asked him about 10 times if he was sure he really wanted to marry me, of all people, he asked again and I obviously said yes. We went back in the hospital n a nurse needed to know what relation I was to him as I'd called the ambulance. She started to cry when he said we'd just got engaged, seriously!
I then spent my first night as an engaged woman alone, as he had to stop in overnight.

As for that guy rah, I'm glad you have found someone who u enjoy spending time with, but please be careful. If he happened to finish with his girl souly with the intention of getting together with you, just watch he's not the kind to do the same thing to you in future. But I really hope it works out for u :P

aww, that is ever so lovely!

and thankyou for the kind words, however the first problem is whether he's actually going to leave his girlfriend at all....i guess that i need to step back a bit...i tend to get caught up in situations as i'm impulsive and jump into things without thinking them through and this is no different. #-o

I'm sure he is lovely, but some guys do enjoy the attention of a woman that they know likes them, especially if their relationship isn't going too great. Or sometimes even if it is.
I truly believe there is someone out there for everyone, hell, if I can do it, anyone can, so hang in there, if he isn't the guy for u, the right one will be along soon enough. Probably when you least expect it. It's a cliche but in my experience, it's true!

ten years married and happy as a very happy person! weird thing is I'd intellectually rejected the idea of marriage on the basis that it was an outdated social tradition who's ony benefit was to protect women from things that we no longer need protecting from ( like we can own stuff now AND have jobs and everything) So I was NOT going to got married.

Then I met Dan and the first coherent thought I had after the first time he kissed me was ' I have got to marry me this man' Scared the life out of me at the time! He's the best friend I've ever had and like yu Donna I still cant quite believe my luck!

Great isn't it Ruth! I'm glad that u still feel the same after so long together...that's exactly what I want...u prove we can do it, dyspraxia or not!
I always liked the idea of marriage but it wasn't a huge priority for me, I just looked forward to the fact that one day I might meet the right guy....I love the idea of someone saying they want to be with you forever, even tho I know it doesn't always work out that way, I'm confident I have met the right guy, cause as Ruth said, it seems to feel different when u meet the right person. It terrified me too, I felt so much for him I was terrified of it going wrong at first, but I forced myself to stick with it and now I'm getting the reward :D

Men annoy me. Its all mixed signals, and I'm too straightforward for that. If i like someone, then i want to tell them that I like them, but guys get a bit intimidated by that. Broke up with my ex about three months, went on the rebound for about three months. Now i'm lonely. Oh well, i've got lovely friends!

Becky: to be honnest if a girl tells me she fancies me, and we haven't know eachother that long, then I do find it a turn off, I don't know why.

maybe my heart is Dyspraxic as well!! likes taking things slowly!!

But then you all complain about being the ones who have to make the first move. Don't get me wrong, Im only forward with guys who have made it clear that they like me, and it they aren't then its no skin off my nose. You are all confusing beasts. Maybe that's why i'm single.

Out of curiousity, why is it a turn off? Is it the whole bunny boiling thing? I'm not a bunny boiler. I just have a very low bullsh*t tolerance.

Not all guys send out mixed signals, some love honesty! Its just a case of finding the guy who suits u...they aren't all the same. I used to think most if not all guys were a swear word I wont use! But u live n learn.
