its not so different than the whole 'playing dead/injured' thing

the woman's overwhelming relief that her love is okay overshadows her brief sense of grief and loss

Responses:

is that a game you play with your girlfriend? -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:41 21
- its in countless movies. i've yet to be in a real-life shootout that would allow me to fake a believable death. -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:44 19
  - oh, that makes it normal and OK then. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:45 18
    - Ooh! Someone's not being normal! Expel them from the herd! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 10:45 1
      - "Yeah, honey, I know proposing at a sports game is cliche, but my original plan wasn't approved by the Dept. of Marriage Proposals." -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:48
    - im still waiting for you to send me the manual that lets me know what is OK in relationships. - Guy Sep 11, 10:45 15
      - A good rule of thumb is if you make them cry and it is not you leaving, you might have done something bad. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:48 13

        yes. "this is going exactly as planned." *mustache twirl* -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:53
        
        if that were true he would not have made her come down the tower before fixing it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:51
        
        if he felt awful for making her cry, wouldn't he have like... stopped? or consoled her? -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:51 7

        ST making assumptions to justify their preconceived judgements of a situation? Impossible! - znufrii Sep 11, 10:56 1
        
        not preconceived. conceived during the relating of the story. and i get bonus points... - TFox Sep 11, 10:57
      - I know how to treat people with respect. It's part of being human. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:46
- its how she acts while making whoopee -- nm - sorry Guy, couldn't resist Sep 11, 10:42
Spawn agrees with loosi, and I agree with David and Guy. - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 10:41 4
- Technically, she agrees with me. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:43 3
  - Worse...loosi agrees with you AND I...Cause I think that's some bullshit too. - Jim Sep 11, 10:45 2
    - *nodding* -- nm - kelly Sep 11, 10:46
    - yessir. -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:45
which is fine, but a proposal isn't a psychological experiment. -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:40 1
- there's still disappointment to be had from the woman who was probably expecting something even before he dropped to one knee -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:43
