Well, tonight was the big night. I picked her up at 6:00 and drove down to Greenville, about an hour and a half away. She lived there when we met and we went back to the same restaurant that we went to on our first date. We had a nice leisurely dinner, ending up with Irish Coffees.
When the waiter brought the check, he said, this is for you sir, and I believe this must be for you. He handed her the little box and with the diamond in it. I went to a knee and told her for the first time that I loved her and wanted her to be wife. She was very taken, I guess stunned would be more appropriate and finally she said, "I need to think about it." I had her keep the ring and we had a serious talk all the way back to Charlotte. I just got in a few minutes ago, and I am as drained now as I would be after the hardest workout.
Bro's, a yes would have been wonderful, a no would suck, but a maybe; in some ways maybe is the worst answer. I sit here tonight and have no idea what my future holds. I think it is time to hit the Tulley's.

Hey Flex...don't know ya but I feel ya. Don't give up bro! Persistancy does pay off and don't give up on her especially since you love her. Sometimes the best things in life are the ones you have to struggle for, but in the end, it will have all been worth while. Keep your chin up and keep it real! Bk3

I thought that I would post a quick update. We went out again last night and had a long intense talk. Still no answer, but it looks like we may try living together for a while and how that works. I need to sell my house first and move down to her neighborhood so we can keep her daughter in the same school district. She also wants to be certain that our arrangement is not going to be a detriment to her daughter, so we have work around that as well.
Time will tell bro's, but at least it is beginning to look like we may at least be moving in the direction I would like.

well, congrats for moving in the right direction!
keep us updated!!

Good Luck Flex! Hope all works out the way you'd like.

Good luck Flex! At least it's a step in your direction. From a single mother's point of view...she might be nervous about her daughter's reaction and if she's divorced it's going to be a hard step to take probably. I would be leary of getting married again, but if I was willing to live with someone my heart would be in the same place, just not able to make the jump to marriage. Sounds like it's good news at least so congrats on that! I've been wondering about you!
