He's about to propose to me - How do I act surprised??

Ok a few months ago I made a cosmic order for my boyfriend to propose to me before the end of the year. It hasn't happened yet and I'm not seeing him tonight so obviously it will happen either tomorrow night or NYE as he's staying with me both these nights.

I don't want him to know his proposal was cosmically ordered so I'll have to act all surprised when he does it, even though I know what's about to happen!

Any tips on acting surprised when you're really not? I'm so excited Grin

Nice update Capella. I feel a bit mean for being rather scathing earlier Blush.

That's a nice ending :) Glad to hear it all worked out as it should... and perhaps a lesson in careful what you wish for Grin

Capella - good on you for returning to update. Perhaps cosmic ordering does have your best interests at heart

You know OP, I think the Universe understood your cosmic order and responded. You obviously weren't as committed to your order as you thought and the Universe heard your real feelings Grin

Sounds like the universe gave you the right outcome, OP. Thanks for coming back to update us.

No Fassbender, naked or otherwise, for me so I'm not sure the joke is on you OP :)

Fair play to you Capella for returning with an update.
Nobody is laughing at you either, I really hope that you aren't too disappointed and that the relationship continues to make you happy and takes you to where you want it at a sensible pace.

Fanjo you are making me giggle, I am not even drunk today, please stop it...ahem...

I would give the cosmic order another go, I know no-one believes me but I stared at a picture of wooden flooring for my house for 2 months, it turned up Christmas Eve, it's in the hall in its boxes, I have it though,that tells me staring at pictures and wishing works... I won't even tell you about the whole Bob thing...

Good move OP leave the bastard date a bit!
