Mr. Aimai's proposal to me was a bit closer to the scene in Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Willow has to reassure Oz in advance that if he were to be planning to ask her out, she would say yes. "That does create a comfort zone" Oz says, approvingly. I think it was very nervy of you to ask her/him but I'm sure she/he probably worked hard to create a comfort zone for you. Frankly I don't know how anybody can "cold call" a potential spouse without having had sufficient encouragement, though I know it happens because one of my favorite local restaurants described how they basically get one guy a year who proposes on valentine's day and is turned down, sometimes with the date sneaking off right before he pops the question.aimainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-81300759152122994802013-03-24T21:37:34.075-04:002013-03-24T21:37:34.075-04:00Sign seen high above New York City skyline tonight...Sign seen high above New York City skyline tonight:<br /><br /><br />Gay Marriage= Gay Registries=Gay Clutter.
