Yesterday evening a friend told me a story about an older couple she knows. It's quite nice, so I wanna share it.
It started with the wife turning the husband down and a "let's just be friends" from her.
So, well. Happens everywhere every day, right? So, what made them marry in the end?
The answer he gave was very simple:
"Thank you, but I already have plenty of friends. Good bye."
It so happened that she noticed she was missing him.
And then, uh, well they married and lived happy every after.
(obviously it only works because she did miss him. also the answer is so brutal, totally not my style - unlikely I would ever do that. although you know I got a few things like that going on in my head.)
still fun to know. for my next life, I want to try that :-)
