Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML

If I remember my tradition correctly "leap day" is the only day women was allowed to asked the guy to marry her. If he said no then he owed her either a set of gloves or a silk gown.

You are right. Or money or fabric for skirts. And it wasn't just in Ireland. Scotland had a law for it and it was in Denmark also.

So you're saying I can ask complete strangers to marry me and demand money or clothing if they don't? Though that might backfire a bit...

Marry you because it's a leap year? That statement confuses me.

First of all, no one should ever fake a proposal. It can **** with other persons feelings, and make them question many deferent aspects of your relationship. And second of all, if he knew you were joking it shouldn't bother the guy one bit. So you should probably question his motives regarding your relationship with him. And if there's a chance you could just be paranoid, then wait the situation out and see if he has an explanation for you.
