"This past long weekend, my friend Jason took his girlfriend up to Vermont. She thought he had a very important question to ask&amp;amp;#133;Of course, he didn&amp;amp;#8217;t know that. He had a plan of his own. You know, snow, a fireplace, some booze, a pork shoulder he was going to cook for about seven hours and then devour, before playing Wii with her until the wee hours of the morning. Perfect winter weekend. Of course, they get up there, he cooks the dinner, they drink a bottle of fancy wine, they eat, he pulls out the Wii and his girlfriend&amp;amp;#133; starts hysterically crying. Why? She thought he was going to propose to her. She cried the rest of the weekend, until he couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t take any more and they drove back home. He called me this morning totally perplexed. It reminded me of my first Christmas with Blossoms. She thought I was going to get her an engagement ring. I got her (I&amp;amp;#8217;m totally not lying) a stainless steel pot. How did we miss the signals? Have you ever thought someone was going to propose to you, only to find out that&amp;amp;#8217;s not what he was thinking at all? And how did he lead you on?
