Joe Dirt said:
Ex-gf "when are you gonna ask me to marry you? "
Me "never, if you don't like that, you know where the door is."
Ex starts Crying and runs to the bedroom, she was gone the next day.

Marriage is for suckers and fools. I am neither.

Was that the FIRST time she brought up the talk about marriage? I mean if you two talked about it before, she should have known your stance on it.

I told her right off when we started dating "If you want kids or a marriage keep looking, I'm not that guy" in fact I tell them all that. It seems most women don't listen or think I'll change my mind.

I've even had one girl try to tie me down saying she was prego. If you could have seen the look on her face when I told her i've been fixed so I only shoot blanks, you would have laughed At her too.

They think you'll fall madly in love and change your mind.

since my divorce.. (i have one really great kid)...

i have told all the women i date... i am ok with marriage again someday..
but no more kids (with/from me)! (i am just not willing to risk another kid going through separation).

they go in to relationships with me.. knowing this.
but they seam to have some idea they can change my NO-kids policy.
it ends bad..and them crying and hating me.

It's her fault than.

If you hadn't been straight up with her, I would have said you were a big meanie but she knew what she was getting into dating you :P haha

Any man that dates me will fall madly in love with me :P I am simply too irresistible to not fall for *ROFL*:p [sorry I couldn't resist]

yes.. married to the 2nd... i should have listen to my inner voice

OK Dan, next proposal, I think you should be the one to get down on one knee ;) Otherwise...reject it >_>;;; lol

The bad thing with a woman proposing to the man is that he might not be ready for marriage but might feel obligated to say yes if he loves her.
 
i was in my early 30s.. everyone else was getting married and stating a family.

stupid reason... i know... lesson learned..
 
The funny thing about marriage is some people think they HAVE to do it in order to be happy long term. I disagree, I think you should be happy 1st and if you find someone to add in to that, then great. I'm perfectly happy with my life, and who I am regardless of marriage and kids, if it happens one day then great, but im not gonna push it.
 
We were on vacation in Mexico. Had a nice candlelit dinner, walked around a bit, ended up at the beach, and I decided to just take advantage of the moment and just popped the question.

She always tells me that she would've said no if the ring was ugly. Good thing I have great taste.

Me? Romantic? Hahahaha. Soooooo far from it. I only did it because she likes that stuff from time to time. She's more insensitive than I am, actually. On rare occasion, she'll give me a heads up that she wants to do something romantic, and I make sure it can be done.

that is great..

but for me...
if a girl said that... (in bold)..
that is my sign to never ask and present her with a ring. if the ring is what was most important to her.. then i am only in it for the short time.

Ehh, not when it's been part of her dreams since she was a little girl. It's my job to help make those dreams come true, and in that instance, I did.

Wow - his was so much better than mine.

Me: I'm pregnant
Him: Uh-oh
Me telling parents: I'm pregnant
Mom: You're getting married when?
Me: *shrug shoulders*
Mom: soon

4 months later I was married.








And 10 years later I'm divorced. (Not that it was a huge surprise)

LMAO at mom, too funny!!!
 
Went out on a boat. Hard her turn around to grab the lunch and when she turned back I was on a knee..
 
I know that I would want to exchange rings with our birthstones. I will not buy diamonds so I think a great alternative is a birthstone. Something with a clean, uncluttered, modern design. I absolutely despise gold and think it looks gaudy so id definitely not get a ring in gold. I think the ideal place would be Tiffany & Co. for the name because you know people are going to ask where the ring is from.
