could "I've got her a ring " mean anything else

group of us at a friends house last night having drinks before we head out to pub

I was upstairs waiting for the loo to become free and overhead dp saying to his mate "I've got her a ring "

they seemed to be discussing my birthday which is in two weeks as they were talking about where we would go and what we would do

could I have misheard? is he going to propose? it could just be that he has got me a ring couldn't it?

now I cannot get the comment out my head and am surpisingly excited about the prospect of a proposal

however there is a definite part of me that thinks this must be something else...

I'd be finding it incredibly hard not to get over excited.
But...... don't be like me!

Hurry up thursday.

I found a ring in my DPs sock drawer. I know it's a family heirloom. But I put it back and never mentioned it (this is the first time I've mentioned it). By pretending it isn't there I can pretend it doesn't exist. Or that it's there because it has to be kept somewhere. Or something.

hi Grin

I met my DP in a November and wasn't expecting much from him at Christmas. He got me a ring, not a 'the' ring (as I would have shit my pants in a ladylike way through panic, obv) but a really pretty silver ring. I got 'the' ring last year Grin

And I'm definitely not just writing this for a place marking jobbie...

Just passing through, don't mind me....

Goodness me, I can't believe how many of you are shamelessly place marking. That's all.

Ha, i can't wait to see his face when you get the right hump over his wonderful gift of a private jet to an evening in a private box in the Berlin opera house watching Wagners 'The Ring".

fingers crossed for you!

place marking? What's that? (looks around innocently)

NamesNick · 28/10/2014 15:54

update.

its not a ring.

confirmed by my best friend who incidentally is seeing dps best friend. ..she would know.

however she has been in touch with dp today about the arrangements for the weekend and in her opinion I will be pleased with the gifts.

so if I cannot figure out what it is I misheard I will ask dp. is that daft?

should I ask or not?

Well, she's not going to blab and spoil the surprise if it is a ring, is she? It might be a keyring though! Grin

WipsGlitter · 28/10/2014 16:03

Yes, possible double bluff?

SauvignonBlanche · 28/10/2014 16:05

Hope you have a nice weekend, whatever happens!

Itsfab · 28/10/2014 16:06

Do you want to marry him? If so, tell him what you heard after you have had your birthday and there is no time left for a surprise but if it is The Ring you might have spoiled his surprise so on balance, stay quiet Grin.

Or ask him!

guitarosauras · 28/10/2014 16:09

she's hardly going to tell you is she!!

Joysmum · 28/10/2014 16:14

Hahaha I'm glad you're in good humour, no, I wouldn't ask Smile

TheDietStartsTomorrow · 28/10/2014 16:14

Awwww. Haloween Sad
I wanted him to give you a ring and propose. I don't bloody care what you want. I wanted a romantic fairytale ending. Hmph.

Seriously though; do you love him that much that you want to spend the rest of your life with him, grow old with him and commit to him? Do you think or know, he feels the same? Then go ahead.... you propose to him. Although I'm an old fashioned romantic I'd do so.

If you're not ready for it yet then just enjoy your surprise gift.

...and somebody else give us a will he/won't he situation to place mark so we can have something to look forward to
