Heck, I can’t even ask a guy out. It’s not who I am.

I also want to be the one whose company is desired and asked for-I won’t even ask a guy to go out with me-I work with guys as an equal, my best friends are guys-but physical attraction is totally different, and I won’t be the one to express interest first-might be why I’m still a single widow...

My wife proposed to me.

Does “either we get married or I’m walking away” count as a proposal?

And, of course, there aren’t any men who throw over the wife, the mother of his children, for a younger model, right?

After the third time reading it I finally realized what you meant. But the mental image was too good not to share.

The reason I can’t is because A) I’m not bold when it comes to relationships B) I’ve never been in one. I’ve never even been asked out. I wouldn’t know what to do. I’m still pretty young though, so who knows.
