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!
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
That's a very completist stat.
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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I have never been proposed to, but I did break up with someone I strongly suspect was about to (nice guy, but clearly on a Wife Hunt, and I met the right criteria).

I liked how she threw in that bit about "taking care of his parents," hint hint.
It's just like that sad little tsk my oldest sister kept running into back home when she hit 40 and wasn't married. Multiple graduate degrees, world travel, but she couldn't nail down some random human male, so sad. And when she did find someone, there was the air of "Well, about time."
I don't think there is an answer to this, only coping.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Hil, you are a good person with many valuable skills. Your health will improve. Things will get better. I won't tell you not to worry because that is the opposite of helpful. But I will tell you deserve not to worry and don't need to worry.
