Just my two cents, but if you have those kinds of doubts, think it over.

As for the parents, call the Dad and say this: "Daughter and I have been dating a long time. I love her, and I'd like to talk to you about the future. I can come over anytime." Something like that.

If you send a picture of the ring, Daughter will have it on her phone in about eight seconds.

How old are you and how long have y'all been together?

Call her DAD. Tell him you need to meet on an important issue involving his daughter and would rather it be face to face, yet she is in NO trouble.

Sneak away, meet, propose, get turned down, come back to OT for post traumatic pussy disorder, and we will guide you on how to live without her......probably hookers and blow for the 1st month

I literally flew across the country, met Brag in the Skyclub, then met her Dad for lunch and then flew back all in the same day. Stop whining

Call the father. If you need to, skip work for a day or half a day and get lunch. Talk to dad and mom. DO NOT TEXT. Good lord. Kids these days.

Put the ring on your dick. Take a pic and send it to her mom. Say the following.

"Looks like you got a timeline to get up on this shite right here"

If you really want to do it properly, you'll need to mail or courier a note to the parents asking them to meet you. Don't text or call.

This was my initial thought, except it's almost impossible for me to get off of work right now. I'm covering an entire hospital with no help. If there's any sort of emergency and I'm 2 hours away, I'm screwed.

I wasn't going to try to pull them away and talk to them somewhere like that. Now they are on vacation all week.


That was the perfect time.

If you must call him.

Just say

"I am the king of the jungle now...bitch" and drop the fricking phone

Stop making excuses. Either do it, or don't do it.

FWIW, if I were you, I'd go get my money back.

I tried that too, but the ring kept falling off. I thought for sure it would fit, she has skinny fingers. I even tried it fully erect.

Just sack up and ask them. Call the dad and ask when he will be home because you would like to speak with him. Bring the ring with you and ask if you have his permission. Thats what I did and it went over well with both the mom and dad.
