Control that's given to him by the woman.

The man should be the one to propose. We're going to Paris... I hope he proposes! It's not a bad thing to knock all those puffed up expectations down a notch. Next she will be disappointed that thirteen virginal nymphs with laurel wreaths will not be available as flower children.

yes, your highest priority in beginning your engagement should be knocking her down a notch. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:06 8

- "highest priority?" this is a two paragraph snippet of two people we know nothing about. You are reading quite a lot into it (I might be too) -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 10:07 6
  - I dunno, I thought the parts where she "burst into tears" while he "snickered" were pretty telling. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:09 4
    - he was smirking, not snickering. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 10:10 3
      - Oh wait, that changes everything. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:11 1
        
        do you realize we're agreeing? -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:13
      - oh, that's ok then. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:11
  - I guess we all are? - Spawn Sep 11, 10:09
propose or don't propose - but don't dick around with it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:05 9
- Again, the dude proposed. He is not dicking around, he made the move. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 10:09 8
  - He was a cruel person. He took her expectations and knowingly dashed them. Proposing at the hot dog stand does not absolve him of that. -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 10:11 3
    - Truth be told, he probably only did that because he realized there would be no tango in Paris, otherwise. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:12 2
      - Mmm, butter. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:17
      - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 10:16
  - ...after dicking around. Imagine if he faked her out every day for a year. - Inigo Sep 11, 10:10
  - He absolutely did. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:10
  - but he did dick around. How much time does it take to get from the top of the eiffel tower to a hot dog stand? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:09 1
    - Too long. - Spawn Sep 11, 10:10
