It's a girlfriend's privilege to say things like that.
will it make you feel better if I told you that just the weekend before the birthday party, I walked out of a first date because the man in question proposed to me? Didn't even make it past the main course. I'm sorry they're finding it suspicious. Right now I have to admit that I hope they don't know you well enough and that they are wrong.
How about we take what comes as it comes instead of worrying ourselves into a lather before we even know what we're dealing with?
