I Want to Know Your Marriage Proposal Story

I have received many marriage proposals. I started getting them when I was 17 years old.
I received one last night. I consider it a compliment. I was home and I had fallen asleep. When my friend texted me. She was struggling with something so she sent me a message. I replied to her and when my phone rang, I knew it was her. I see the first two letters of her name and I answer the phone.

On the other side was a man's voice. I was a little surprised but I also know that for him to call me he must be going through some stuff. So I immediately sit up and ask if everything is ok. He starts to tell me what is going on. I listen to him and he explain and I ask questions when I do not understand.

As the phone call continued, he asked me again if I would marry him. I got quiet and did not say anything. He is such a dear friend. I have never met him in person but we have known each other for years now. We met online and became friends. We have spoke on the phone often. He knows about my family and I know about his. He saw me through my divorce and he has seen me going through things with my relationship now. i know him and I know at times he would like to hurt my boyfriend. I know he thinks that he does not deserve me. I do not know if I could ever measure up to what he thinks of me.

I have been told by a few men that I am the "fantasy" woman of men's dreams. I think that every man has a different dream.

So he asked me again last night. If life was that easy right? He's a dear friend so we talked about it and then he said, Ok, I will let you go back to sleep. It's late for you. I would say more but since it's so new, I would rather not just yet.

After 45 years of marriage I don't even remember the proposal but have learned it's what happens after the wedding that is the most important. We are living in a time when the weddings last longer than the marriages. So I will leave you with this:

A Relationship.
(c) 2015 Edward York

A relationship is like a garden,
It requires some work to grow.
It can’t be rushed to harvest,
But must be handled slow.

It requires a lot of effort,
In order to be strong.
Sometimes we can get things right,
But often we are wrong.

Even though mistakes will happen,
They can be handled well.
As long as you stay focused,
And keep your path upon the trail.

So spend your time out in your garden,
And give it the nourishment it needs,
And keep a watchful eye out,
To protect it from the weeds.
@lasergraph Thank you. Yes but you also have to be in the right garden. :)

@LoveYouLoveMe plowing the wrong garden has led to more than one demise.
LOL exactly. :) and it could be your right garden but the garden went through a transformation out of your control. :)

@LoveYouLoveMe Thank you I think it to be more honest than anything
You seem to have a marrying effect on men! It is awkward that a dear friend would propose but he may really love you.
Good luck!
@Dangerousliasons Thank you. :)
@LoveYouLoveMe By the partial pic on your profile you look lovely! So get used to it! LOL...cheers!
Don't have one ... lol not even close ...
