I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

    The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Actually, it is more probable that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, and in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
    Oscar Wilde
