How crazy I am to propose?

I’ll take her to Matalascañas, a lil beach town on the atlantic side of Spain. Go for walk down the Doñada national park beach, and walk down until we’d have approximately 40 minutes until sunset.

I’d have a vegetarian sushi dinner that I would have prepared on the day before to serve her. Set down a blanket to sit on, we’d eat, and then just watch the sunset… “Our song” is Frank Sinatra’s Strangers in the Night. So I ask her to put it on from her phone and her bluetooth speaker a bit before the actual sunset moment.

Then I’d get down on one knee, and reveal the ring, and ask her. Then HOPEFULLY she says yes. And I’ve arranged for the hotel to cover the bed in red rose petals while we’re gone, leaving a heartshaped part in the middle of the bed without petals… Oh and ofc the hotel room is one with a sea view from the bed… The most expensive hotel room I’ve ever reserved at 250 USD / 200 EUR a night…

We’ve been together for 12 years… Well if you wanna fuck the dot, 12 and ½…

A large part of me feels that I want to do this. A smaller part of me is asking “are you sure you are not ruining a good relationship”…

I think that very romantic. Im sure she will say yes!

Well - on second thought - maybe she will, and maybe she wont. Im having serious doubts about the vegetarian sushi. I personally would never even consider marrying anyone who fixed that for me. Im a bacon guy all the way!!! :wink:

Good luck!!!1

Same here Larry. I was just getting ready to say as a women I would love this, except where’s the beef. :hamburger:
I’m on my second but we have been together 20 years and I wouldn’t have traded them for the world.

She has been vegetarian for her whole life from birth.

And not b/c her parents would be vegetarian, hell no. We both are from a very rednecky area deep from the farmlands, so you know how it is.

After she got to the age that she can eat solid foods (instead of just breastmilk), her mom minced beef and mixed with mashed potatoes. This girl spits all the meat pieces out. Mom tries again, minces the meat even smaller. Same spitting ensues. And for the third time she tries to absolutely atomize the meat, but the girl keeps spitting the meat pieces out. Then her mom figured that ok this girl most definitely ain’t eating meat.

See the above reply to Larry3215 about her being vegetarian.

So serving beef to her on a proposal date would lead most definitely to a big angry HELL NO :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Ah, but I said BACON, not beef. BACON is the food of the gods after all.

As Im sure you know, any food is improved by the addition of BACON - especially vegies.

Anything from spinach to green beans to broccoli, to carrots to brussel sprouts - even that evil okra crap is better with BACON. You can have it with eggs for breakfast, on a sandwich for lunch, and wrapped around your favorite dinner entree. Bacon wrapped chicken thighs, or bacon wrapped fish fillets or, my fav - bacon wrapped sirloin!! You can even get BACON donuts, or BACON ice cream for dessert!!! There is nothing BACON cant do :smiley:

Trust me on this. No woman can resists a man who loves her enough to fix her BACON three or four times a day :smiley:

You sound like my SIL Larry

My middle daughter is the same. So grateful her baby girl is a meat eater.

Larry and I are just funning you. You know your lady and your proposal sounds awesome for her, :gem:
For me (sub bacon for veg) I would be blubbering like a baby all over you yessing thru the snot and tears.

I haven’t eaten red meat, poultry or pork for 39 years.

The smell of bacon does not treat me well.

Dont take this the wrong way, but I cannot in good conscience, “like” any post that in any way, disparages BACON. It is the food of the gods after all!! :smiley:

Im a little puzzled by it (how could anyone possibly NOT like BACON??), but actually glad you dont like BACON.

Partly because I love it when people stand up for the things they like and believe in - even when I disagree. It reaffirms my right to make my own choices. Its good to have diversity in all things - including the foods that we each like/dislike.

After all, if everyone loved BACON as much as I do, there would not be enough for me!! :smiley:
