While we were sitting in the car after a date, Dave kinda-sorta proposed to me. He simply said "what would you say if I asked you to marry me". I replied, "I'd say I have to think about it awhile". No more was said about it as he walked me to the door. He then went to his hotel room.
We met at the USO the next afternooon before he headed back to Fort Leonard Wood. He loved to play rummy with Mrs. Gilmore. They were fun to watch because they were really a pair!No more was said that weekend about the so-called proposal.
The following Friday night he picked me up for a date. We hadn't been out very long at all until he asked me if I had thought about his question. I said "if you asked me to marry you I would probably say I had to think about it." He never did come right out and say "will you marry me". It was something like "well, will you." I accepted that as a proposal and said yes.
He was on orders to go to Germany in February,so we knew if we were going to get married before he left, it would have to be real soon.

What a smoothie. I love the "What would you say if I was to ask....". Guys do that because it is less crushing if you get told no since you really didn't ask outright. LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, and the girls know that all along anyway!!
ReplyDeleteI loved your response back to him when he said that a second time, "if you asked me to marry you, I would probably say I had to think about it." :)
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny how he asked you to marry him without asking you to merry him.
