Life tip: if you don’t already KNOW the answer is yes, don’t ask. It’s too early.

I had a girlfriend asking me like twice a week for a year- when I was going to propose and then I did and she said no.

When they ask you like that… it’s the cue o have a conversation on the F-ing subject. What are your hopes and dreams, kids, quick wedding or elaborate… you know… discuss what the future would hold together.

Once you have had those conversations you also know what the answer to a proposal will be.

We did all of that but then she decided she wanted someone who went to the same church, she told me maybe if I joined her church. Her church beat two children to death trying to expel demons. We actually separated after we couldn’t work it out

just so we’re clear here. When you ask someone to propose to you, you’re asking them to propose to you, there’s a place and a time for doing a haha funny this is actually not linear thought processing, for example you’re in a car, i’m waiting for you to pick me up so i tell you “run me over when you see me” that would obviously be a joke.

you ask someone what their thoughts on marriage are, if you’re curious what their thoughts on marriage are, the english language isn’t hard. If you have to do it multiple times, maybe you should probably, idk, ask more forwardly.

to be clear OP is probably a bit of a dumbass, but to be clear, it’s not their fault.

To me. They are asking you to propose. If they want to have a conversation there have the fucking conversation. Don’t play games. No one can read minds.

But it doesn’t matter to me either way. I don’t date. I won’t date. I’m done with dating. And I will never get married.

LPT: Don’t give queues that can be severely misunderstood, just fucking ask what you want to know.
