A: "Hey Jack¹. What's going on?"

B: "Hey Matt. I'm going to ask Martha to marry me?"

A: "Really? When did you decide this?"

B: "I always knew she was the one, but I decided² to pop the big question about 2 weeks ago. I'm just debating on how to do it."

A: "That's exciting man."

B: "So how did you propose³?"

A: "You shouldn't use my example. It wasn't special. I kind of wish I made it more special but it's too late now."

B: "What do you think I should do?"

A: "There are a lot of options. You can surprise her over dinner, or ask her in a public area, or if you have the balls, ask her father in front of her."

B: "I never thought about that."

A: "Thought about what?"

B: "Asking her father in front of her. How do you think she will react?"
