How is hamlet's engagement to Ophelia?

Answer:
It's not happening. Although Hamlet makes love-overtures to Ophelia and sends her letters and gifts, it never gets so far as an actual engagement which would require the public approval of the parents. Had the subject been raised, we know that Gertrude would have been for it. Unfortunately, Polonius puts a stop to their relationship before it gets to the engagement stage.
