I take great comfort in the fact that no one has ever asked me to marry them, and if things go according to plan, no one ever will. (I asked The Girl. Repeatedly. Including one serious 'keep ignoring this question and you will not get asked it anymore' proposal involving a very romantic picnic on Clapham Common with a treasure hunt to get her there. She then pretended, for the most painful five minutes of my life, that she didn't have a ring to give me in return for the one I gave her. Fortunately, she produced one before I could kill her with a fork.)
Darn your sinister attraction!

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So did anyone else marry the first person who asked?
I've had three girlfriends and married two of them. I'm pretty sure I've married everyone who ever wanted to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure I've married everyone who ever wanted to.
That's a very completist stat.

Other than the occasional shouted-from-stoop "ooh, baby, wanna marry me?", which I don't think really counts, no one has ever asked. And I have not asked. Division by zero batting average, ahoy!

I'm thinking of changing my business cards. I'll delete all my qualifications and replace them with "Outlier".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm getting panicky. Do not like this. And there's nothing I can actually do, because everything that's stressing me out is now at a point where either I need to wait for someone else to do something, or I just need to wait a few days until when the next thing can happen.

Thrive to spite them
I've never been proposed to. Although the mom of 1 of my serious boyfriends referred to me as her Future Daughter in Law.
...also the mom of a guy was kinda seeing thought I should get hitched to her son. Except he wasn't that into me.
SLNRLBF and I have talked about marriage -- actually if things were a bit different in his life he's pretty sure he would have proposed the first time we met. And I would have said yes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, this is on-topic, but not pleasant, since when has any talk of marriage regarding me been pleasant.
I sent an e-mail last night.
My mom just responded.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh P-C. I am so proud and happy that you wrote that letter, and I am so sorry about her response. It's just such world's apart from your perspective and your life. It just sucks so much.
