Ok, so I have been dating this guy for a while now and I really do love him. Like I have thought I was in love before, but realized I have never loved anyone the way I love my boyfriend now. And I know that he loves me. I don't need him to say he loves me, although he does, but I can just feel his love. Well, about a month ago he bought me a promise ring. It is really pretty and I almost never take it off. It's white gold with our birthstones (real stones) and our names engraved in it. The night that he gave it to me he told me how much he loves me, and that someday he would love to marry me. He was saying that he might propose to me in a year or two. I think about this everyday now. He really is my everything. I guess that my problem is I find myself thinking of the future too much, if he proposes. And when I think of this, I become really quiet and he knows what is running through my head. It makes him sad a little just because I am so quiet when I think. Is there any way to not think so much about the whole possible engagement?

there are many aproaches to clearing your mind such as visualizing yourself surronded by a bubble and all the thoughts you want away from you are outside this bubble. you should then feel like you are staring into darkness or into the center of darkness. other than that i'm not sure how you can stop thinking of him. good luck in your future with your love =]]

More than that, you should talk about it - especially if your boyfriend is sad that you are becoming quiet. Let him know what's on your mind, and talk about it with him.

and i'm probably even younger than yu are.
it's hard to think about losing him or marrying him and if anything would go wrong, you know?
but if you love him as much as you say you do, try and do what i do.
i loveeeeeeeee absolutely LOVE my boyfriends eyes and smile, which you probably love yours as well.
when you're with him and you're trying not to think about the future, just stare into his eyes and remember why you love him so much.
it should make you forget all about the future and just live in the moment.
or just keep yourself busy, yoou know?
not sexually, lol. but just always be doing something when you're with him so it gets your mind off of everything.
:] hope i helped. [ Annerszz_101's advice column | Ask Annerszz_101 A Question ]
