I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage

we wouldn't have gotten married except for the whole part where the USG doesn't pay to send girlfriends overseas

Joe still jokes that I made him marry me, but I wasn't moving overseas with him without a marriage license.

And happy 19 years to Raq and DH and 24 to Connie and DH!

So did anyone else marry the first person who asked? I've always heard that was a sign of being desperate, but heck, I liked the man and thought, "Sure."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Turned down the first three so far. Only two of them were serious, all three of them were crazy. Only two of them were straight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So did anyone else marry the first person who asked?

Nope. My high school girlfriend asked me to marry her the summer after I graduated from high school (she was a year behind me). I told her I might consider it after I graduated from college. (I ended up breaking up with her a few months later.)

Haven't asked anyone/been asked since....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Turned down the first three so far.

There was that guy on TT, with the last name "Bigham", that proposed to you.

I had a half assed proposal from a friend in the military who wanted to get a housing allowance, but I don't really count that.

Never been proposed to, and if I get my way, I'll marry the first one who asks. (Assuming it's The Boy.)

I always got the impression that most people asked only when the answer wasn't really in doubt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So did anyone else marry the first person who asked?

Yep.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh yes! He was the right one, at the right time. The proposal itself was pretty lame...I made him do it again, properly.

I'm not sure that I ever actually said yes to the one who proposed on the first date...but I was fairly certain that one was right too. Turned out not to be the case, but that's as it should be.

Since I have been the 'hello, we are in a relationship that is going somewhere' type, actual proposals have seemed incidental. Should I ever be blessed with the right set of circumstances again, I imagine I'll manage very differently.
