#10 A Time To Tie It

[HIM] “When did you know she was the one? What was the point you knew this was the woman you were going to marry?”

[ME] “Erm… well… I kinda… I mean… I always….. ermm…. it kind of…. ..Wait, let me gather my thoughts.”

[HIM]“Okay…………..”

[awkward silence]

“Alright, I got it. It was when I proposed.”

[HIM]“…………….REALLY?”

[ME] “OK, not really. But that was the moment it changed from just a thought to an action. It was the moment everything crystallized.”

[HIM]“But what about before that? When did you decide you were going to propose?”

[ME] “Before that? Well, initially it was just ‘OK, this feels really good. Let’s see where this leads to'. Then it became ‘Wow, this is really working out. I think she might be the one.’ In between that was a lot of "I'm not sure, I'm not sure". After that it was ‘OK, I’m pretty sure this is it’. The problem with me was, it also ended a ‘………but not yet.’ I wasn’t really ready. And I think we stayed at that ‘not yet’ stage for a long time.

[HIM]“What were you guys waiting for?”

[ME] “She was waiting for ME… and I was waiting for……… my heart.”

[HIM] to what?

[ME] to be ready.

[HIM]“That was a lot of waiting… for the both of you. How did you finally become ready?”

[ME] “Long story….trust me… “

[HIM]“Okay….. So I need to talk to you about this. I think I’m ready.”

[ME] “Is SHE ready?”

[HIM] “I think so…”

[ME] “OK, we’ll talk about it when I’m back.”

[HIM]“OK, see ya.”

[HIM]“By the way, who did you talk to before you decided to propose?”

[ME] “No one….”

[HIM]“How come?”

[ME] “Because I figured, if I needed to ask someone about it, then I'm not really ready to take the plunge…But that's just me. In your case, I think it's best to talk it out.”

Exciting times ahead I must say.
