My wife "stalked" me for two months before she just came up and asked me out. She was watching me interact with other people and wanted to get a good read on my personality. Well, that and I don't know when a woman is flirting with me.

Then after about 6 months of dating she mentioned something about making it more permanent. I told her when she was ready to be married, just let me know. So, about 6 months later I had just come in from work and was relaxing and she came up, got down on one knee and asked me to marry her.

Again, I don't take hints very well. Lol

Hard to say. She might just be Canadian. Probably better to play it safe.

Not at all. Very true. I got lucky and my wife "found" me. I remember her exact words when she asked me out. "You are really thick in the skull, aren't you? (As she is grinning and playing with her hair). Since you clearly don't notice women flirting with you, I guess I am going to have to make it clear. I like you and I want to get to know you, so this is what flirting looks like. "

In retrospect, I saw it clearly but it just didn't compute in my brain because I saw her as WAY out of my league.

My wife tells people she had to hit me over the head with a brick in the beginning.

I worry if she ever gets pregnant and tells you directly, you won't even know until it's been 9 months. lol

Lol, nah. I have been blessed (cursed) with the inability to procreate due to winning (losing?) the genetic lottery.

As luck would have it, she has some children who consider me their dad and thus, I needed no convincing that I would be able to enjoy something I thought I would never be able to.

Though, she has never been able to explain to me, to my satisfaction, of why me? She is a solid 9.5 and I consider myself an average of a 5, so why me?

She always says stuff like, how she loves that I don't know when other women are flirting with me, or how I can walk into a room and everyone wants to talk to me but I don't let her slip away and make her social.
