Just a few days ago, my boyfriend and I went inside of a jewelers store. We decided to go into Kay Jewelers and no one wanted to help us. As we were on our way out a lady thought that we were married and between the ages of 21-25. Then, we went inside of another jewelers store. I was surprised that he didn't have a problem with this. The guy that was helping us pick out the engagement ring told us that the one I took interest in was $3400. My boyfriend began to discuss financial things with him and was talking about a payment plan. We didn't purchase the ring that day; however, I told him that we didn't have to. I believe that he was upset because he couldn't get it for me due to the simple fact that he had just started his new job. We went into a department store where he had his eye on a wedding ring that he would have wanted me to get him. I told him that I would have wanted to spend more time saving up even though I had the money for it. We discussed that we should take our time looking for the ring even though he thought about proposing on April 3, 2013. My only question is if he is serious about wanting to get married and if this is a good or bad sign? Is this fate? We have been talking about marriage since last year of September. Please help, I would love to hear from more than one voice. How do you know if your partner is planning on proposing?
