He was the one who brought it up and he would randomly tell me he's getting me a ring next year when I see him again. He would also talk about having kids with me and stuff.
I never opened it up first, it was him. It was him who randomly sent me a photo of rings on display at jewelry store, it was him who asked me to marry him and him who opened up marrying next year.
I don't talk much about my friends' but since I'm a bridesmaid in one and a maid of honor in another, I often tell him about it but only because I have part in those two upcoming weddings. My younger cousin also recently got engaged so I told him about that too only because it was news not because I wanted to bug him about it.
He also wanted buy at $7,000 watch and I only one-off jokingly told him that he could get the ring for way less.
To be honest throughout the relationship, I would send him things but he has not once sent me anything not even a card. He's also asking me to share for things shoes and bags for him both of which I have never asked from him
