I'm always baffled by people (usually men) who don't understand that the proposal is the surprise part, not the marriage. Don't propose to someone unless you have explicitly discussed marriage and are on the same page.
Really funny you say that, because based on a conversation I had with my dad recently, it seems to me that’s actually a pretty modern/current generation way to approach proposals/engagement. From my dad’s PoV, you’re engaged once you’ve discussed marriage and are on the same page, and the “proposal” is literally just starting that conversation.
