Okay girls. Just started dating a Marine.  Haven't known each another for very long but I will be going to the Ball with him on Nov 19th. Nov 18th I fly to California.  We started dating 09/27/09.  Supposedly he has some kinda surprise/secret for me???  I have no clue what it could be! He refuses to tell me till I get to California. But I'm going nuts! hahaha.  Any of you have any ideas? These were the clues so far....

 

1. His best friend told me that he (the boyfriend) wanted to do this on the 27th (the day we started dating) before he left to California.

2. He told me that once I get this I'll never want to let it go--and he said no, its not a stuffed animal.

3. Then last night he said: "youll know this when you get out here (to cali), when i can actually show it to you instead of texting it, because it will be real, and right in front of you and youll see just how serious i am about you....

 

I mean I know marines do move fast sometimes but what do you girls think?

He also has been bringing up babies alot to me...and using "we"...he turns 23 on nov 21st..and says he wants kids before hes 26....

Welcome to the boards. I'm Megan/23 and my boyfriend, Tru/24/Army is currently in Iraq. Not knowing you, your boyfriend, or the situation it's impossible to guess what his surprise may be. As difficult as it is, I'd suggest not jumping to conclusions or making any assumptions between now and when you get to California, in order to avoid disappointment. Not only with this situation but with the military in general having set expectations can often lead to disappointment if you aren't careful. That being said, I'm glad you are getting to go the ball with him and that he has a surprise for you and I hope it all works out wonderfully. :)
