i know! after all the hours and hours i listened to him talk about how there wasn't any point in marriage, and how maybe he'd live with someone long term but not marry, well. he's finally seen the point, and that's that the girl wants a ring if she's going to stick around. it's the same girl he met in the peace corps a few years ago, they've been together since. so. *shrug* he sounds good, from what i know i think it's a good thing.
