When you are all set for getting engaged, it is difficult to think of anything else except the marriage proposal just around the corner. You may keep guessing how it will take place and visualizing the engagement ring on your finger. You'll keep wondering how your boyfriend will propose and what would he say. In fact, the actual proposal hardly comes the way you imagined, and invariably it is not the man who is at fault.

People often hear stories about how women behaved on their engagement day and then regretted later. That is what makes it imperative not to keep estimating all the time how your boyfriend would behave and spare time to start thinking and planning how would you behave at the time of getting engaged. You may act happy, surprised or excited, but some negative behavior may creep in at the last moment and make you regret later. Here are some such behaviors that you must avoid:

Failing to say 'yes'

Of course, you are aware that your guy expects you to say a big loud 'Yes.' Will it surprise you to learn that it's not so unusual for many women to forget to say 'yes' as they get too overwhelmed. Keep reminding yourself to say 'yes' at that exhilarating moment when he actually asks you that big question.

Grabbing the ring

Are you stunned? Yes, you have been waiting and visualizing this moment for a long time. It is not really wrong to expect some tangible confirmation that it's indeed the real moment! But that doesn't mean you go out to grab that ring from the hand of your fiancée just when he is about to offer it to you. You should understand that he too has been visualizing this moment. So, let him do the honor of putting the ring on your finger. The action on his part signifies the promise he makes.

Forcing emotion

Everybody reacts in a different manner at the time of getting proposed. Some women may have eyes filled with tears, while others may not display any emotion. Both are right, as such reactions come naturally and they should not be forced, meaning that, if tears don't come naturally, do not force yourself to get them. If you try to act the unnatural way, you'll be depriving yourself of totally experiencing this once in a lifetime moment!

Hurrying too quickly to make calls

Spend some time with your fiancee and enjoy those moments with him rather than hurrying to make calls to share this important news with everybody you know. It is very likely that before you finish your first call, you will be reminded of numerous other calls that you think you should make at that moment. You may end up talking with people on the phone for a long time, and you might probably forget to appreciate this huge moment with your soon-to-be spouse. Take the time to kiss, hug, cuddle and allow it to sink. Once you are ready, call up your mom.
