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

Would that be the false choppers or the alka seltzer that hasn't turned up, SP?

Have you got any of that vofna left?

SPsFanjoHasSatelliteNavigation · 02/01/2013 14:35

Grin think my dad has some left. I didn't wish to bring any back with me though. Think cosmic order might just be late with the new year and all that.

Blimey I bet she is cross at not being engaged.

JustinBoobie · 02/01/2013 15:13

so did it work???

CapellaMa · 02/01/2013 15:55

Update.

He didn't do it. I'm not engaged.

However, to be honest - I spent most of new years eve day considering the fact that actually, we've been together 5 minutes and to be become engaged after such a short time is madness. We don't even live together. Christ - I was panicking last week that he seemed to be moving in with me by stealth!

So yeah, I pushed these thoughts to the back of my head and told myself I was still excited about the upcoming proposal but in all honesty, I think deep down I knew it wasn't going to happen and nor should it.

So there you go, you can all laugh at me now :)

And you should be happy that it didn't.

You might have said yes...

SPsFanjoHasSatelliteNavigation · 02/01/2013 15:58

Tom Hardy didn't turn up either so its both of us they will be laughing at

OverlyYappyAlways · 02/01/2013 15:58

That's quite good tbh. You don't want to rush things, maybe next year, or the one after. Smile

I hope it hasn't ruined your New Year!

Pancakeflipper · 02/01/2013 15:59

Well done on returned Cap.
For all this Cosmic Ordering sounding abit Woo, you actually sound rather sensible.

Hope things go ok for you.

flowerytaleofNewYork · 02/01/2013 16:02

I've been lurking on this thread and I am joining it to say I'm really impressed that you came back to update OP. Would have been much easier not to.

OverlyYappyAlways · 02/01/2013 16:03

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!

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 02/01/2013 16:04

Aah, OP - very well done on the update Smile

dequoisagitil · 02/01/2013 16:07

Well done on being so brave as to update.

OverlyYappyAlways · 02/01/2013 16:11

Very brave, I would be very upset.

AppleOgies · 02/01/2013 16:13

We are not going to laugh... Enjoy your relationship and getting to know each other better. If he is the one , he will propose when he's ready without all this cosmic thingamajig!

MrsHoarder · 02/01/2013 16:15

Well done for being brave enough to update, probably for the best, have a Brew

IslaValargeone · 02/01/2013 16:17

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.

janey1234 · 02/01/2013 16:21

Very impressed you came back. Maybe next year!

janey1234 · 02/01/2013 16:21

ps definitely not laughing at you.

forgetmenots · 02/01/2013 16:33

Not laughing at you, glad it worked out even though it didn't, iyswim!

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

tribpot · 02/01/2013 16:58

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

HellonHeels · 02/01/2013 17:02

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

CabbageLeaves · 02/01/2013 17:39

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

BertieBotts · 02/01/2013 17:42

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

DozyDuck · 02/01/2013 18:23

What did he do that was special though? Smile
