How did you do it?

[scouse mac]

On Monday I proposed to my girlfriend and for some reason she said yes, but with hindsight I've realized what a shit job I made of it.

I had hinted to her that should I ever ask her it would be on the anniversary of us getting together and as Monday drew to a close she was getting more and more pissed off that I had seemingly forgotten. Obviously I hadn't but thought stringing her along would be funny (it was but not for her!). Just when she was close to going to bed early in a sulk, with the romantic Assault on Precinct 13 (orig.) playing in the background, I asked her. Nothing fancy and no ring (which I had decided would be best if she chose it).

So, I've been wondering if anyone here has done a better job of than me or if anyone had been on the recieving end of such?

I've not found a woman, or know of a woman, that is mad enough to want to marry me yet.

This is going to sound corny but who cares I love her and I want to treat her the best I can. It was xmas eve 2004, our city park here is lite up beautifuly, and they have horse carage (spelling) rides through the park. Well I got a box and I put a single rose in it with the ring box ontop of it opened, and as we were riding around I gave it to her and when she opened it up she saw the ring sitting in it and her eyes went O O (wide open) and I asked her. It was sweet, now go ahead and flame me. :-)

I'm psycho, so I don't think there's anyone who'd want to marry me, either. Alas, I am also high maintenance. Sorry, gents.

Scouse Mac! Congratulations! I want pictures of the wedding.

Define high maintenance? Seriously because there's emotional & material. I've had both & I like emotional better. I don't think that there is a right way to ask someone to marry you. It really all comes done to both of you loving each other. The question is will you be there when the sh*t really hits the fan. Anyhow congrats man. All my best.. :D

I am sooo emotional, mainly because of chronic mental illnesses. I'm not really possessive, because instinctively, I know that is a relationship killer. However, I am moody, can go from 0 to Bitch faster than a cheata can go from 0 into a dead sprint.

Y'all probably can tell that I come from a good deal of money, but in a relationship, I can sorta seperate myself a little. I don't demand a lot of material compensation from a lover like I would say, a family memeber. I do like jewelery... lucky for my guy or girl, I like sterling silver.

Oh, and Soloman, I do intend to answer that question. I wanted to go into it on Monday, but alas and alack a' day, I have a sinus infection. I'll get to it.

I think I should publicly respond here. Well Haunted thats good & bad. Psiren is a very emotionally needy person but. I like that in my relationships. I was with someone who could go from firey hot to frigid in the blink of an eye. Psiren has caused me to redress certain areas of my life but in a good way. She's been a good influence in that regard. Emotion high maintenace also means I've had to dip deeper into the well to find the strength to support another person. So in effect psiren's supposed need has made me that much stronger. Strangely thats not a bad thing & Haunted theres no rush.. :D

I put the ring into a loaded shotgun, drove by, yelled "WILL YOU MARRY ME?!" and shot her in the face
