Congratulations Agnostic!

Your proposal story brought tears to my eyes


Imo, get married after the 2 year period of infatuation has passed.  Maybe set the date for 2012 sometime.

Congrats to Cap. Equipose as well

Thx! so far so good

Hope is the denial of reality; it is the carrot dangled before the draft horse in a vain attempt to keep it prodding along.

Been exclusive with my girlfriend for a year now... Her birthday was Friday. I got a  jacuzzi suite at the Drury Plaza Hotel on the Riverwalk in San Antonio.. had dinner at a local restaurant and the mariachi group sang her favorite song along with Happy Birthday. After dinner we went for a walk along the river walk. I kept looking for the perfect place to propose as it's a pretty romantic place in the evening but on Friday it was packed to the gills and every place I had in mind was just crawling with people. So we kept walking.. and walking... We finally came to a  pedestrian bridge over the river and it seemed perfect. I started my spill...."we've been going out..." and right about there I stepped on her toes...took her about a minute to regain compusure from the pain.. by that time it seemed like someone yelled "Action!" and people came out of the woodwork walking towards us, and the moment was ruined. Fortunatley I had fake proposed to her about 20 times as in "We've been going out for a year, I think its time to take it to the next level, so I have a question to ask you... do you like diet pepsi or diet coke better?"... things like that.. So we continued walking till we came to a pretty secluded spot. I figured it was now or never so I started my proposal again... she was joking around and thought I was about to fool her again. I did the old get on one knee thing and she started to wonder if I was serious. When she saw me pull the ring out she freaked out. I asked her to marry me and she was saying "are you serious"??, is this a joke? By that time I was a little nervous this wouldn't play out all that well as it did in my head.. but she was crying and smiling and I finally said "Hey, I need an answer here" and she said "Yes, of course I'll marry you!" I put the ring on and got back up and suddenly heard clapping. I looked around and people were standing around smiling.. I had no idea anyone had walked up.

All in all it was a pretty good weekend.

Excellent my friend, and congratulations...always remember:

Marriage is GRAND...























and divorce is 100 GRAND!

No kidding! My ex is shopping for a new 100K Mercedes and I'm still driving my 03 Mustang Mach 1

Man, you were married before! I really hope you know what you are doing.

Why did you divorce the last one?

[pluck]

You married a girl after a year? Hahaha
Wow

[Captain Equipoise]

Man, you were married before! I really hope you know what you are doing.

Why did you divorce the last one?

LOL if the girl is looking for a $100,000 Mercedes, I can imagine why..

[Balloon]

Blah,

There are decent hookers in all shapes, sizes and colours if you get bored

[Tre]

It won't be either of ours first wedding...

So you didn't learn the first time.

[Agnostic007]

You married a girl after a year? Hahaha
Wow

No, I got engaged after a year...

[Agnostic007]

Man, you were married before! I really hope you know what you are doing.

Why did you divorce the last one?

After 14 yrs we had become more roomates than husband and wife. Didn't happen overnight, wasn't any particular persons singular fault, but by the time it had progressed to the point it was at, attempts to rekindle the relationship didn't work. Life is a compilation of experiences, trials and errors, success and failure. If I didn't learn from that then I am a fool and destined to repeat my mistakes.. but I am certain I won't let that happen again.

[Agnostic007]

Oh, I learned plenty...

People ACTUALLY do this shit?   Why?

After 14 years there really isn't anything left to learn about a person.

[Agnostic007]

I don't know...same reason we diet down to near nothing, losing most of our muscle mass, then don skimpy trunks and pose... it's weird, I know... but we do it..

Not the same.  You just reenacted a scene from some horrible sitcom.  Did you ever stop and think where the meme of "proposal" came from?

I find it rather hilarious.

Funny, I said that too, until the divorce paperwork hit her desk.... Then I learned she can be one evil biatch. Had my motorcycle and Trans Am towed and hidden away, changed the locks and installed an alarm system while I was at work.. very effecient.. I'll give her that..

[pluck]

No, I got engaged after a year...

Same thing dude. It's funny when people act on emotions.

Grilled chicken and steamed veggies.

I'm with you, given the times, I certainly think it is a must to live together before getting married. I would prefer living together before engagement... however I'm also flexible and been around the block a few times and have a good idea of what to look for. her family is ultra conservative old fashion and while she stays over on a regular basis and I stay over at her house on a regular basis, the actual living together without some official status is frowned upon.. far be it from me to point out the hypocrisy of it all but suffice it to say that at this point, I think I have seen how she is in stress situations, and when things are going good and bad, but I really want the opportunity to play house together for a year before getting married just to be on the safe side. If things are as they appear then I couldn't do any better than her she is quite a unique and wonderful person.    

Ultra Conservative. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA Have fun with that.  Ultra Shit-Brain is more like it.  I`ve got a great website for them to check out.  VoteAgainstYourInterests .com

Wow! Agnostic falling victim to "the game" ..........again! Oh brother!

[boonasty]

congrats agnostic. 

Agnostic, glory will follow you, but you may only be filling up some heat of the moment kind of stuff for your own selfish desires and you will get hurt if you don't back off. I looked up from my tarot card real quick.

This won't work. You will fall on your ass  so hard   hahahaha, another heart broke on the making.

tarot card?  is this a joke or are you serious about this?

Same thing dude.

nope.

Sounds like she needs a random stranger to nudge her down a long flight of stairs..

Ich habs angenommen, aber du kannst mich gerne da verbessern, wenn ich mich geirrt habe. Jedenfalls habe ich dir die PN geschickt.

Du willst also abstreiten, dass kulturelle Einfluesse sich enorm auf das Verhalten von Frauen auswirken? Warum bin ich und so viele andere Maenner gluecklich mit unsern nicht-westlichen Frauen, nachdem wir uns Jahre lang mit westliche Frauen abgeplagt haben? Das kommt nicht von ungefaehr.

The question is why would you do that in the first place if it was such a hassle?
