    P but I know why I proposed. She was 22 and still living with her aging parents. She talked  about wanting to move out but would feel guilty if she abandoned them unless she was getting married or something. I took this this that she was hinting that I propose marriage. I gave it some thought and since we been hanging out together a lot for many months I finally did propose and she accepted. Big mistake though because we were not in love and making a commitment was causing a lot of tensions between us. We finally did break the marriage idea with the advice of her parents and then just maintained a casual relationship.
