I have spread the news on facebook about my boyfriend, now fiance' proposing through text. Since he was out of state. When he came back. He walked in the house, told me he knows we don't have rings yet. Then dropped down to one knee and proposed. As he was holding out a necklace for me.
Would it bother you if someone proposes through a text? Could you take the text serious?

Congrats! That's great! It wouldn't bother me if we weren't physically together at the time.

That is true. We have been together for 5 years now. I think it is time he proposed.

Congratulation. Texting is probably the new way of proposing, then the man don't get embarrassed if you refuse and it would be easier to refuse since you don't have to look into those tender pleading eyes of his and feel guilty. But I'm happy for you that your boyfriend still believe in the traditional way of proposing.

That is the traditional way. It does something when you can look them in the eye when they ask on one knee compared to reading it through text.

@rusty2rusty Indeed it does. Texting would be very rude.

I agree. texting was fine to test out how I feel. Coming home and getting on one knee asking all over again with a big grin was priceless.

I would prefer one in person myself. But these days all news and important decisions are discussed via text and so I think he just couldn't wait to claim you!

Congratulations! Personally, I'd rather have an in-person proposal, but a text is also a sweet way to do it.

Love is love and appears in all forms, doesn't it?
If this was his way or proposing, you already would know his personality and accept him as he is.
Rings do not matter. Tattoo your finger.
In fact, if you are ever in the area, I'll do it for you!
