Decent Proposal
Dear Cats and Dogs
I have been off and on with my boyfriend for the last four years. We
started dating
our Senior year of high school and then we took a break for two years.
We have been back together for the past year and the relationship has
been going great.
In the mean time, we bought a house together and things seem to be
progressing. I
am thinking about proposing to him. Do you think that would be a good idea?
Do you think that I should
be waiting for him? I believe he will say yes, but I just wanted to get some
input on this idea.

I tend to think of marriage as more of a female "need" then a male
"want." What I mean is that I don't remember playing "house" with any
of my guy friends when I was a kid. Girls start thinking about babies
and marriage way before they even get their periods. I've never
understood it but it's obvious that this is some instinctual trait
that women have.
That being said as guys get older a lot of us also start to think about
settling down. I know lots of guys that have kids and they couldn't be
happier. It's cool to have a little dude version of yourself to throw
the ball to. It also gets pretty old running around with lots of
different women. As much trouble as a wife can be having 2 or 3
girlfriends is a whole nother headache. I think that's why they
invented called id. Anyway I believe that human beings are supposed to
be monogamous later in life in the same way that I think young dudes
should try to bang as many chicks as possible. You can only be the
alpha male for so long before some younger monkey comes along and
knocks you off your rock though. At that point you're gonna need someone to
cook the bananas. It's just the order of things.
By the way is there anything funnier then monkeys? They think they're people sometimes.
So my advice to you Carries is to give it a shot. I'd be flattered if
a girl asked me to marry her. And if I wanted to stay with her it'd
probably be wise of me to say yes. At least by asking you'll know if
he feels the same way about you.
Topic of The week:
Do young people (other then the gays) still feel the need to get married
these days or can you have a long and healthy relationship without
ever saying I do?
