Changing in the Nordstorm dressing room in Stanford Shopping Center, when I hear the girl next to me crying.
Me: “Do you need any help?”
Lady in the stall: “I can’t get out of this dress. Will you do me a favor and track down my boyfriend? He is supposed to be waiting for me outside the dressing room.”
The boyfriend was easy to find because he was the only guy standing there. He entered the dressing room with her and she explained how sorry she is for gaining weight and how terrible she feels because the dress is too small for her and all her clothing feels so tight. Nothing seems to fit!
I returned to my stall to finish trying on the rest of my selected dresses.
During that time, I heard him tell her that he thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. He continued on letting her know that he loves every curve of her body and that he hasn’t even noticed any weight gain at all. He said that he will prove his love.
I couldn’t see them but it sounded like he got down on one knee and said “Sweet beautiful love of mine; will you let me love every inch of you until the day that I die? I know I don’t have a ring, but we can go pick one together, right now. I have been dying to ask you? What do you think?
The girl bursted into laughter. He says “what is it? Why are you laughing?”
Lady in the stall: “I tried on juniors sizes.”
(pause…..)
Lady in the stall: “oh and yes of course I will marry you! But you are going to have to do the whole knee thing again one more time when we have the ring, ok?”

This may as well be a made up story, it's almost too good to be true, though I've seen crazier shit happening. However it proves a point. Women are obsessing about how they look, because they fear they would lose the love of their SO. However when someone has a full meltdown in front of her boyfriend and puts her biggest fears and insecurities on the table for close scrutiny, that's a sign she is completly trusting him and is very secure in her relationship. The happy ending might be cheesy or madeup, STILL only when a man is completely devouted to a woman will get the best of her, I promise you that.
