This happened to someone I know. I knew something happened, just not exactly what, a third party filled me in.
He was dating someone seriously and decided that they weren’t for each other. He called her up and asked if he could take her to a park for a long walk so that they could talk.
She thought he was ready to pop the question and told all her friends to be there.
Her friends are scouting out the park until someone sees them walking along a trail and sit down by a bench. All the friends congregate nearby waiting for the right moment. When they see them get up they assume that he proposed. They jump out, scream “Mazel Tov” and start hugging her. He wanted to dig a hole in the ground and jump in.
But the best was yet to come.
When he pulled up to her house to drop her off it was all decorated with streamers and signs. Her father comes running out, hugs him and offers him a L’Chaim. He explained that he had to drive back and couldn’t drink. I’m not sure how he made it out of there.
