A Subtle Proposal: How One Maid of Honor Swept Her Colleague Off Her Feet

Have you ever proposed to a boy? If you’re looking for inspiration on how to achieve that magical moment, this story is for you. It’s the tale of a subtle yet heartfelt proposal that not only secured a long-lasting relationship but also taught us about the power of sincere affection and persistence.

First Connection

It all began on a typical day when I, an ambitious post-grad researcher, set my eyes on my colleague. She was four months senior to me, having joined the same prestigious college where I completed my post-graduation. Our first connection was through Facebook, but after overcoming my initial hesitation to initiate a conversation, we found ourselves in a healthy and growing relationship through text messages and occasional in-person meetings at the college.

The Starter Gift

It was around a festive season when I, on the spur of the moment, proposed a spontaneous meal delivery as a gesture of affection. Her surprise and enjoyment of the homemade delicacies marked the beginning of a series of thoughtful gifts. I then began to secretly send gifts to her, ranging from designer greeting cards to self-made photo frames, all delivered through an ingenious method to maintain my hidden identity.

Falling in Love

A mere version of a facade, she believed these thoughtful presents were from a mysterious someone. As weeks went by, she started to recognize my initiatives and the closeness of our relationship grew, eventually leading to a mutual decision to meet on her birthday to take matters to the next level.

Birthday Proposal

On the day before her birthday, we planned a surprise meet in a car. Although initially nervous, I finally revealed my true identity, leading to a delightful reunion with a heartfelt apology. We then spent the evening in a church, where I asked her a life-changing question: 'Would you start a relationship with me?'

Without hesitation but still with a moment of shock, she said yes. It was a moment filled with joy and anticipation for what would come next, but our initial euphoria was tempered by the fact that her parents had to give their final approval.

Conclusion

Our relationship continued for about two months after the proposal. Although it was short-lived due to some unforeseen circumstances, there were invaluable lessons learned about the power of persistence and the depth of true affection. This romantic story serves as an inspiration to all those who seek a loving and genuine connection in life.
