Engaged to be Engaged...... Hmmm.
Well, lets see… if one says “I am not going to get into a relationship” that’s pretty much a bet that you will get into one… it’s like poking the fates and saying “nyah! Not gonna!” annnd they saying “wanna bet? Mwahahahahahaaaa!”
That being said…here is some back story
I was dating a guy for almost a year.. Dumped him on valentines day (in my defense, I forgot it was that day til after I said “we need to talk”) there are lots of reasons why I broke up with him, and the current guy is only on the outskirts of those reasons… (in other words, I realized I was interested and it was a wake up call that I should not be dating the current one. I want it noted that I did NOT dump one for the other.)
Soo two months before the relationship ended I met this guy at the place I go dancing and he seemed nice, two months later I am single and I say “no more men!… or women. I need a break I want a break… gimme a year” well, of course that didn’t happen. I decided that dating was fine… but not go home with. Nothing serious.
Well… Then this guy asks me out who I have been dancing with for three months now… and I said Sure! … he takes me to another place for dancing and it was really great. Loved it. Loved that he chose a place that had more advance lessons, annnd that he didn’t make a move on me besides dancing. That, btw, is on the rare side of things. Most guys I have dated try to make a move on the first date. Technically this was the second date, since the first date happened the Monday before. He took me out to lunch. Sooo the next week I didn’t go out with him.. I actually stayed home, but the week afterwards he and I went to that other place again and it was again, great. The next night at the usual place he actually kissed me and I was shocked, since I was thinking he wasn’t thaaaaat interested.
Somewhere in that next weekend (it’s now reaching about three weeks ago… my time line is a little skewed, I think,… but I know it was three weeks ago from this Monday) he and I had the “so why are you single, you are great” talk… annnnd we pretty much exchanged a lot of info annnd the next morning I decided that yes, I will get into a relationship with him( he had stated his interest the day before)
Less than two weeks later he is joking that we should go elope, I laugh and say he is silly, because my friends and family would find me and kill me a thousand times over in various painful ways.
Well… Thursday morning I txted him asking that when he is serious, to let me know that he’s serious(about proposal I mean) well.. He txted back something along the lines of “I am serious now, marry me!” and I responded “ask me again in person” because I want to see his eyes when he asks… to know he is very much sure about this, annd to know my real reaction… so….
So in short, I am engaged to be engaged …. How weird is that?
