Maybe this is a generational issue, meaning I am just too old, but I really dislike the gimmick proposal. Especially the public gimmick proposal.
Am I alone in feeling a little skeeved by the arm twisting implied by proposing to a woman in a highly public setting?
If she says no, whatever her reasons, she looks like a villain. Not very nice.
Did I mention I am old? Admitting fully this may just be me who sees it this way.
Full credit to LRR for good intent.
Still love you, my favorite kooky Canadians.
God I miss ENN.
I was the one who proposed and I'm all for more traditional proposals but this is how it went.
1. she already made her intentions to say yes to my proposal clear so there was NO chance for a negative answer.
2. almost our entire friendship/relationship has been nerdy as hell and this was the best way i could think to continue that tradition.
3. she LOVES LRR and MTG as much as i do so it was a perfect combo. Also when she saw a similar proposal on Extra credits a couple weeks ago she loved it so I figured. why not?
p.s. she said yes and LOVED it it took her ten minutes to get the silly grin off her face. (then she went right back to slaying evil in assassin's creed brotherhood..... god i love this woman.
