In honor of the leap day musings about proposing (marriage).
Lately, day and night, only one thing has been on my mind. Who should I marry? The choice is so damn hard that I can't stand it. Before, I was forced to marry an architect. He was really rude to me at first, but then he fell in love with me, and I guess it was mutual...
But now I left everything old behind, and in the hope of a new life I moved to another city. Or, in the name of truth, this is just a tiny village.
I was immediately interested in the only scientist in the village. But unfortunately, history seems to repeat itself. This man is so full of himself and his intellect, and he is only interested in being a scientist, i.e. his work. But when I hinted and flirted with him enough, he took on a completely new study subject for himself, social relationships and love.
Then he wanted me to teach him how to dance, and something literally electric happened between us. This man's social awkwardness and nerdiness have made me fall in love with him, and now I found myself liking his looks as well. Slender body, dark hair and glasses... He just happens to have all the things that attract me.
This man somehow became my lover mid-sentence, and external forces immediately began pressuring me to buy an engagement ring and propose to him. I'm sorry, but I'm an old-fashioned woman, and I want a man to propose to me, not the other way around. That's probably why I'll never get married again, at least not to this scientist. After all, that architect proposed to me himself, and it was a really romantic and wonderful proposal. Rose petals and candles in the shape of a heart on the beach... Right on the eve of leap day, this scientist broke my heart by saying that he hopes he was more than just my boyfriend... still that proposal is not coming, and I guess I have to stop believing in miracles.
But during all this, I had started receiving anonymous letters from a secret admirer who thinks that I'm "cool". He also started sending me gifts, and he even thinks that I would be a better deputy than... a cat... that I made a hat for... and shoes. My secret admirer thinks I would look better in that hat! This admirer seems to admire everything I do for the city.
Then it happened. One morning I came out of my one room house and a man was just putting a letter in my mailbox. So my secret admirer was caught in the act... and he turned out to be a man from the city's police force, who I hadn't paid any attention to before.
This man was so shocked of being caught that he said he would go home and hide in the closet. But he didn't do that. I saw him later in town and he was talking to me normally. But when I went to his house, I found him in his closet. Strange... I also found his last letter, the one he was delivering to me. In it, he asked me to be his best friend. Of course I agreed to his request, but I immediately regretted it. I knew he would have wanted something more, and suddenly I found myself wanting that too…
Since that fateful day, I've done my best to stay on good terms with this now not-so-secret admirer of mine. Hoping that maybe one day I would dare to propose something to him... Something that could have happened a long time ago, if I hadn't been so startled by his sudden revelation.
Later I confessed my love for him, and luckily he said that he likes me too. Then I went on a date with him. He's such a boring guy, his favorite hobby is rocks. You read that right, rocks. I think I'd break his heart if I revealed that stones don't interest me at all.
Even earlier, a journalist arrived in the city to write stories about a criminal terrorizing the city, and it was revealed that this journalist is also a children's author. I was immediately interested in this man, because I myself like to write all kinds of shit. Maybe we could have something in common? But our relationship hasn't quite progressed as expected, and I've noticed that he's boring, and he's even blonde. Yes, that architect was also blonde, but like I said, it was a forced relationship. And then this newspaper boy had the audacity to reject me. He said he wants to think about this a little more. Aren't I irresistible to everyone?! The more I get to know this guy, the more I realize that we have nothing in common after all. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and talks all the time about butlers and bodyguards...!! So we come from completely different worlds.
It should also be mentioned that the only doctor in town is a really strange guy. He barely speaks at all, and dabbles in some dubious naturopathy. More vocal than the doctor is always his... pet bird. Maybe one day the doctor will open up to me. Only and only for me... Patience just doesn't happen to be one of my virtues. I've heard rumors that he has had a really traumatic past.
And then there's the criminal terrorizing the town. I've only seen him once, and that's when our eyes met. But luckily, bad boys have never interested me. Still, I've heard interesting things about him... and claims that he's not really a bad guy, or even a criminal. I am quite confused whether to believe the news or not? Maybe our paths will meet someday...
But I'm starting to realize that I'm not ready for marriage. I still want to explore my options. Even so, I dress appropriately every day. I'm ready when some man is finally ready to propose to me!!
All this in the game My time at Sandrock.
