Will You Marry Me?
Last year my friend was on pins and needles waiting to pop the question on his girlfriend. It had been an amazing romance. They met at a publicity event that was much ado about nothing. Still, it was the special night when he had felt his heart follow the path of least resistance as he fell in love with Diane. She had made a presentation about how it's essential to make sure your customers don't feel like they're just following the crowd. At that moment, Dan had fallen in love. He wanted to be of service to this wonderful person and gain her trust.
That was two years ago, now he was holding his breath in anticipation of the moment of truth.She had kept him on tenterhooks throughout their relationship, so he wasn't sure she would say yes. What if she left him in limbo? Even worse, what if she said no! He wanted the moment to be perfect. He knew he shouldn't go overboard and have someone playing the violin in the background. He also didn't want to promise her that he'd bring home the bacon and sound like someone from 100 years ago. He also couldn't speak off the cuff and ask her informally. That wouldn't do. Then it dawned on him that he should ask her when they reached the top of the mountain they were going to climb. Then it would be show-and-tell. He couldn't wait ...
