Would you marry him?

I sometimes tell people that I don't think I entertain anyone more than myself. I mean, every now and then I'll be doing something that maybe everyone else doesn't get, but I think it's hilarious (Lame? Maybe.). That makes me sound like a complete weirdo, so here's an example to make me look a little more normal.

When I'm hanging out with a group of girls and one of them mentions that they recently went on or will go on a first date, I'm always quick to jump in with this question— Well, do you think you could marry him?

Now some brief commentary. The first time I asked this, I thought everyone would just start laughing, and the girl I asked it would blush, or call me ridiculous or something. Because it does seem ridiculous, right? Right?

Anyways, back to that question. As something that causes me deep consternation, I have never once had some girl just laugh in my face. It's almost always the same response— a pensive look up, and then a sincere response. The responses have varied. Most have been "Maaaaybe" (perhaps you're not sure because you have no idea who this person is... I mean, I'm not Dr. Phil, but I'm just sayin') and I also get the occasional "yeah" or a laugh and "never!"

What? Who has decided after, or even before one date that they can marry that person? Are we that shallow? Or that crazy? Has society come to this? Have I myself thought that I could marry Penelope Cruz after seeing her smile on David Letterman? I think the answers are maybe a little more than we would want to know. (yes)

So that's just some food for thought. And as some dessert for thought, the LSAT is over. I don't care if I get a 121, I will not take that test again (though I might end my life if i saw that score...). Now I just get to wait three weeks for my score to come in. I mean, the football off-season is like 8 months, so three weeks can't be too bad.
