-Oh, thank you, really. It's so beautiful.
-Then wear it!
-I can't.
-Why not?
-I told you before how I feel about rings.
-Actually you didn't.
-Can't you just accept that I don't wear rings and that's it?
-I would have accepted that, if you didn't just say there's a story behind it. Now I'm curious
-Baby, I really don't want to talk about it.
-Then wear the ring.
-Don't be stubborn
-Who's being stubborn? Either wear the ring or tell me the point behind not doing so. I'm giving you a choice whereas you're not.
-You won't like what you hear.
-Try me!
-humm. I made an oath not to wear a ring.
-I'm listening
- Every time I went into a relationship, my partner would give me a ring. And although I never wear rings, I'd wear it just for his sake. And he'd never want me to take it off, so out of respect I don't. Until my fingers get used to having a ring on, and start hoping for THE ring. And that's when it always ends. So I promised myself, I won't have anyone, no matter how dear, emotionally blackmail me into wearing a ring. And I promised myself, the only ring I'd wear nest would be my real wedding ring.
-....
-See, I told you you wouldn't like what you hear.
-And you were right!
-And once again, as she is notorious for, she just has to ruin one perfect date.
-...
-Tell you what; since you're obviously too upset to talk, why don't we just call it a night. Leave me here and I'll take a cab home.
-Listen, I'll just pull over on the side, I need to step out of the car for some air, ok?
-Sure.
...
...
...
-So you won't ever wear this ring?
-Please don't go there
-I'm just asking
-Listen, baby, I love you, I really do. But don't pressure me, please.
-I'm not trying to pressure you. I'm trying to put in words how I feel. Help me think out loud , ok?
-Whatever you say.
-What if I want you to wear a wedding ring?
-That's a different story altogether. and we don't want to fight over hypothetical questions.
-But I actually AM serious. It's not a hypothetical question, I'm ACTUALLY proposing to you. Would you wear my wedding ring? Be my wife?
- Stop doing that!
-Doing what? I'm proposing to you. If you really love me, you should be over the moon now.
-Why would I be over the moon when you're telling me that our relationship is ending?
-Ending?! Are you insane girl? I want forever and you say ending!? What's wrong with you?
-Hey, we've both been through it before, several times. You should know, when it gets too ...uhh.. formal.. official.. you know...with the families and the formalities and all that headache. The parents approval , the struggle.. the
- Does this mean you never actually thought about it?
- Not really. Well.. just a bit
- And you're family are ok with that?
- With what?
- Our relationship, like that?
- well
- They don't know about me, do they?
-..
-It's been almost a year. God! I can't believe it.
- It would have been so much pressure. It's better for both of us, believe me.
- Pressure? pressure of what?! That we'd actually commit!
-I thought we had a relaxed relationship. No pressure. No strings.
- Do you actually call this a relationship then? For 6 months, you'd only go out with me once a week. Only recently , have I met your friends. Your family don't even know I exist. How do you do that!
- I fail to understand why you're so angry. I have done everything a normal guy dreams of. But you are just so strange. Ask any of your friends who complain to you all the time.. what would anyone pay for a relationship like ours? and they'd tell you.
- And what does a "relationship like ours" mean?
- No commitment. You can see other women without me getting jealous or controlling or giving you a hard time. No family pressures. No come propose to me or my dad will forbid me from seeing you. All the "you" space and time you need. You can go out with your friends without me getting in the way. You don't have to call me every second, only when you feel like it. I don't tell you what to do, how to dress or where to go for your vacation. Don't you appreciate that ? And I thought you'd feel lucky.
- You know what? I feel lonely! My friends actually say I'm making up an imaginary girlfriend when I say I'm going on a date. No one even believes you exist. I don't want to date other women, and I never did since we hooked up. I only want to date you. I want to come propose. I don't want any "me" time, I've had so much of that. I don't want to go out with my friends, I'd rather spend the time, with you, even on the phone cause you refuse to see me. But it isn't really me who's not normal. You're insane. I'm in love with a crazy girl. Are you too scared of commitment that you can't tell right from wrong?
-..
- What?
-Please, I want to go home.
- You know what, no! You're not going home.
-Excuse me!
-I'm not having you leave in the middle of this conversation, even if I have to physically stop you.
-Fine!
-Fine!
-..
-Why?
-Why what?
- Why are you so scared?
- I've been hurt so many times before.
-But you know I won't hurt you.
-Every time I got hurt , they said the same.
-Babe, I understand what you have been through. But I'm not like any of the other assholes you dated. Think of it, I actually tolerated your bullshit for a whole year and I will gladly take it for another year or two or ten or forever , just to show you you can trust me. I have so much faith in us and I promise I.......
- Don't!
-Don't what?
-Don't make promises you won't keep!
- Babe, I'll be very careful with my what I'll say so you realize I am conscious of what I say. I won't promise you the world, nor the sun , moon nor stars. I won't promise you happiness forever. Nor will i promise that it'll be easy. And I won't promise that it will be trouble free. And i won't promise I wont hurt you, because I might, even if not on purpose. But I will promise you to try my best, if you'll give "us" a chance. How does that sound?
-Too good to be true.
-Let's keep on going slowly. Keep a low profile. Keep it between us if you want. Let's take things one step at a time. But let us think of a future. You never know, maybe this might work out. Maybe its even destiny!
-..
- What are you doing?
- Putting on your ring.
- Actually , don't.
-I want to show you I'm willing to try.
- I don't want you to wear the ring. Not this one, not this time!
- By the way....I love you so much! And I really appreciate it.
-Then wear it!
-I can't.
-Why not?
-I told you before how I feel about rings.
