just the other day, i was walking to the train from work when this man….like…threw himself onto the concrete pavement in front of everyone. at first, i thought he’d keeled over and was maybe…dying or something. then a second later, i realized he wasnt dying at all. but was instead on one knee…….. proposing to me. proposing like…..marriage. in that he posed the question “will you marry me?”
like my day hadn’t been rough enough. i now had a marriage proposal from a complete stranger on my hands. i swear on my left pinky toe i’ve never seen this man in my whole entire life. he wasn’t like homeless or anything. didn’t look crazed. he even had grown ass man-friends with him. just a normal guy who got caught up in the rapture i guess.
anyway, i couldn’t quite process the question/pick up line at that particular moment so i was like “uh?”.which is funny since i’m pretty sure…at this point in my life… i’d say the very same exact thing even if he wasn’t a stranger and was instead a guy who’d been dating me for a gazillion years and really thought we oughta get married. the other funny thing was that people on the sidewalk stopped to look ‘cuz they really thought he was my boyfriend and i was about to say yes and start weeping with unbridled joy.
it was all very awkward.
