Tips for Snagging a Husband

Today, on the eve of my first wedding anniversary, I present Bookish Penguin's Top 10 Foolproof Ways To Snag A Husband:

1. Totally convince yourself he’s not the one.
2. Tell him from the get-go that this is a casual, short-term thing.
3. Move two hours away.
4. When he visits you, insist that you are broken up (and then jump him anyway).
5. Buy him things he loves.
6. Cook his favorite foods.
7. Introduce him to his favorite restaurant (Hi Chipotle).
8. Tell him he has to go on a date with someone else because that’s the only way he’ll see that you really are NOT the woman for him.
9. When he’s out on that date, spend three hours crying because you wish he wasn’t.  Log in to his Facebook account to see if they’ve been sending each other salacious messages.  Feel like crap when you see that they haven’t.
10. Propose over lunch by saying: “Yeah, so I really didn’t like you going on that date with that other woman and I realized I don’t want you to date anyone else . . . ever . . . so I think that means we should get married.”

No, seriously.  It works.  I have one year to show for it.

And, clearly, by "foolproof" I mean that I was the fool and still ended up blissfully happy somehow.
