Would You Marry Me?

I got a text message several days ago from a female friend. She asked me if I would marry her. It’s quite surprising it made me laugh a little bit. I knew it was not a joke. She was pretty damned serious. But I didn’t see it coming at all.

I know her pretty well. In fact, we had a relationship about couple years ago. It didn’t work out so we called it off. Now she’s been with someone else. From what I heard, it looks like her current relationship has been going without any commitment from her boyfriend about their future. It’s kinda hangin’ there. Perhaps that made her quite upset.

I don’t want to go further into anyone personal life. Actually what more interests me is the fact that she chose to reconsider her past relationship (in this case) with me. I wonder why she didn’t consider first to find a new possible relationship. Is it general tendency for people, that if we have a problem in our relationship we’ll directly look back to the past?

Obviously all of us do have memories including all of our past relationship. Good or bad. Sweet or sour.  Romantic or pathetic. We’ve been through those before. Is it knowing well about our past that makes it a much less risky choice than to get a new relationship with “unkown” possibilities? Is it to play safe that really important in this case?

I’m not sure about the tendency between men and women when they’re facing similar dilemma. But I always thought that women are more sentimental than men. So I guess women do look the past more often than men. That includes on how they find the solutions to their current relationship.

But hey I’m just guessing. I’m not really experienced in having so many relationship. So I might be wrong. I would love to hear what’s your take on this :)

    well, she might be realizing that she don’t know what she has until it’s gone..
    then trying to look back to the past,
    and she found out that you’re the best ;) *sound rhyme deh*
    but, the big question mark is “would you marry her?” :D

    considering what happened on the past, actually i’m not sure if i’m the best :mrgreen: Hehe about the big question mark, we’ll see :) Btw, reading your comment i remember a song called Don’t Know What You Got. I think it was Cinderella song :)

    Memories is just memories, It’s very sweet to remember but dont be trapped in memories just like her. Just find a new path, dont turn around just because memories and do not regret your decision in the past cause you will regret for the second time if you made the same mistake in the present.
    I belive in second chance, but that second chance only usefull if you take different way to reach the same target.

    I tend to agree with your opinion bro. We’ve tried it once and didn’t work out. You’re right I think. Walking through the same path over and over won’t bring any better than try a new one. Thx for the comment bro :)

    woooo….
    when I read the title: surprised! 8O but confused? :? guessing whether u wanna talk abut nokia cellular’s ads or about sms’s jokes but…… ough! no…

    i don’t wanna comment, you know the answer much more better than anyone else.

    At now, I just guess she has watched mv clips of “Main Hati” and then “Hitamku”. Both from Andra n Backcbone, but after that I still don’t know which mv clips she want to watch, may be Mother, How I are you today. May be yes, may be not, not sure siih….

    hehe I like both songs bro. I’m not sure if she does though. Hehehe how come you think about “Mother” song after Andra n Backbone songs :mrgreen:

    Hayo….”he-eh” aja, gitu :lol:
    *bersiap ngibrit*

    Women maybe become sentimentil person, but behind it, a lot of love is hiden.

    “menggenapkan separuh agama…ayo, mas…Katanya Nikah itu indah lho :D ” *manas-manasin mas sigit*

    he…he…

    I sometimes look back
    but some other time look forward
    if only I was in her situation, I’d rather go find someone new, because I now we couldn’t work it out in the past. what makes you think we will if I give it a try?
    it will only be a stupid time wasting.

    so… how’s she?

    yeah, I agree with you Latree. Sometimes look back is only important to take the lessons from. To experience it again? Not really sure :D She’s okay I guess :mrgreen:

    Alasan kenapa dia nggak milih u/ngebuka hubungan baru dengan orang yg baru… karna dia nggak mau repot nyari2 cowo lagi, balik lagi ke proses kenalan, getting to know each other… sukur2 klo cocok dan bisa jadian, kalo ga cocok? Cari lagi deh… Klopun udah jadian, dia nggak yakin berapa lama harus punya relationship itu sampai bisa ke tahap marriage? 2 years? 3 years? Oh no, she’s just realized her time is running out, she’s not in her early 20s anymore when she can ganti2 pacar without having to feel any loss at all.

    Apalagi loe bilang dia lagi kecewa… kecewa + kesepian + putus asa (berlebihan bgt gw hehe), jadi makin sentimentil deh… terbayang2 lah masa2 indah dengan orang2 lama (loe misalnya)…

    In one word = desperate.

    Hmmm sedikit menyesalkan knapa harus propose duluan… Im just an old fashioned woman who still thinks that the man should be the one throwing the proposal.

    brarti intinya kudu dipertanyakan yah. Apalagi dlm kondisi dia yg lagi upset begitu. Hehe iya Sheilla, bener jg apa yg Sheilla bilang tentang old fashioned. Mgkin krn dulu hubungan kita tergolong deket jdnya lebih blak2xan ngutarainnya :mrgreen:

    way to go bro
    just follow your instinct

    it’s all in your head
    it’s all in your heart

    the past is history
    the future is right infront of us

    to be explored
    to be enjoyed

    yup, I agree bro. Past is one of our knowledge to face the future. Thx bro :D

    Hmmm…. pertanyaan sulit. Biasanya adalah co yang nanya itu ke ce. Tapi setelah gue ingat2 lagi, memang di dalam Islam boleh kok ce meminang co menjadi suaminya. Ada riwayat-nya..

    Btw, jadi ingat, dulu gue juga pernah ditanya seperti itu….cuman sayang akhirnya rencana hanya tinggal rencana..
    Kok bisa cerita hidup kita mirip ya jek ? :)

    huehehe jangan2x ada aura D-113 yg bakal menerjang seluruh penghuninya jek. Brarti gue jg bakal miara sapi donk whahahaha :D
