Can you remember what year you got engaged?

The only time I was engaged was to a girl in 1986. It never worked out.

I can understand the concept of wanting to get engaged but I am 33 too. It's a nice feeling to know that marriage is in the future and that you're not being taken for granted or advantage of. Men are getting more than women these days because women tend to give too much too soon. However, being engaged can also be a term for "buy me a ring" these days. I would love to have one from my boyfriend because of what it signifies between us and other people but after being in two terrible marriages, there's no way in highwater I would bring it up to another man let alone drag him into a jewelry store. That is not tasteful & that is begging for something that really means little. If a man doesn't want you enough to ask on his own, then he doesn't want you that much and its far better to be with a man who wants you as much as you want him. Be careful how you approach this issue. If he hasn't even talked about getting married by now and you are this anxious then I'd break up with him and if he ever asks why just say "you're in a time of your life right now where you want more out of life and the relationship you are in. Tell him you love him but you feel that your life is staying the same the older you get." Of course you are still young. I don't think I'd tell my daughter to consider marriage before she's 30 today. People change too much in a short period of time. At your young age, people want the picket white fence, the marriage, the house, the baby, and whole nine yards. They don't know the concept of what love is and they wake up one day in dissapointment. Rarely is this how life goes today simply because living in the times alone is hard. They don't know enough about living life nor do they realize how much they as people will change by the time they hit 30. At 30 people start to re-evaluate things. If your guy wants you, he will ask. If your guy doesn't want you, he will keep you until he's found "the one" or until you get fed up with waiting. That's usually how it goes. Good luck with the choice you make.

Yes, I can.

We got engaged in April of 1980 and got married on December 6. I even remember that we met on Sept. 19, 1979.

Yes, I know......that was a long time ago, but of course I remember it.

My FIRST marriage though -- I've completely forgotten all those dates.

That's why I'm getting engaged on New Year's Eve. So that I can always remember the day, and it will be the NYE the year before my wedding which will be Nov. 2008. Plus, my parents got married on NYE so it is a special day for my family anyway.
