Airport lounge marriage proposals...

Who says romance is dead? I was just proposed to by a charming young man from Ghana who proclaimed he would like to marry me because I am white and because I am from America. He "likes America too much. too much." I respectfully declined, despite his blatant patriotism - the whole pro USA thing is usually a big plus for me. It became clear quickly that, regardless of which side of 35 I was straddling these days, marrying a foreign stranger was still no where near an option. I mean... seriously? He fully recognized the need to get to know each other. He would like to have a long courtship via email and then have me come visit in the Winter. Um. No. I've got a busy winter. Let's all hope I don't kick myself for letting that one go.
